## Rotating the DANGEROUS_SALT
1. Start API locally `make run-procfile`
2. In a separate terminal tab, navigate to the API project and run `poetry run flask command generate-salt`
3. A random secret will appear in the tab
4. Go to github->settings->secrets and variables->actions in the admin project and find the DANGEROUS_SALT secret for the admin project for staging. Open it and paste the result of #3 into the secret and save. Repeat for the API project, for staging.
5. Repeat #3 and #4 but do it for demo
6. Repeat #3 and #4 but do it for production
The important thing is to use the same secret for Admin and API on each tier--i.e. you only generate three secrets.
