Flask

Description

Configuration for Flask itself.

Flask Settings

  • FLASK_SECRET_KEY
    • Description: The secret key that flask should use to protect user sessions and cookies. This should be a long, cryptographically secure, string that you keep private. If the key changes all existing user sessions and cookies will be invalidated. If one is not given, a default key will be used. This default should only be used by development instances that are not exposed to anything other than localhost, because a known key or simple key is a security vulnerability.
    • Default: dev-key-do-not-use-in-production!
