Rotate secret key

Last updated Apr 16, 2026 You can rotate the secret key using the following steps:

  1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the Turnstile page. Go to Turnstile ↗
  2. Create a new Turnstile widget.
  3. In the widget overview, select Settings > Rotate Secret Key.
  4. Configure your website to use the new secret key.

The rotation occurs over the course of two hours. During this time, both the old secret key and the new secret key are valid. This allows you to swap the secret key while avoiding any issues with your website.
