This is where Laravel App Key Rotator comes in. This package can help with generating a new app key for you, as well as decrypting and re-encrypting your model automatically for you through an artisan command. It's also generally a good practice to rotate your app keys periodically (e.g. every 6 months) or when certain events happen, such as an employee leaving the company. See more information here: Basic Usage ----------- [](#basic-usage) Rotating your app keys is as simple as running this artisan command: ``` php artisan app-key-rotator:rotate ``` Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require rawilk/laravel-app-key-rotator ``` You can publish the config file with: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag="app-key-rotator-config" ``` You can view the default configuration file here: Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) For documentation, please visit: Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information on what has changed recently.
