# How To Rotate Network Sign-in Keys With BetterShield?

Rotate WordPress sign-in keys across a multisite network and end every other active session.

In **[BetterShield](/)**, use **Network Admin › BetterShield › Network › Rotate the sign-in keys**.

## What it does

Rotation replaces the network's WordPress sign-in keys. Every other active session on every site ends and those users must sign in again with their normal method. The administrator performing the rotation stays signed in.

## Step 1: Rotate Network Sign-in Keys

Select **Rotate the sign-in keys**, acknowledge **I understand every other session on every site will end**, then select **Rotate the sign-in keys** again.

## Recommended settings

Use rotation after suspected session exposure or as a planned network-wide session reset. Notify site owners and confirm recovery paths first.

## What it can break and how to undo

The ended sessions cannot be restored, and the old keys cannot be put back through BetterShield. Users must sign in again. Saved work in applications that depend on a session may be interrupted.

## Final Outcome

Use a separate test account in another browser before rotation. Afterward, that session should require sign-in while the initiating session remains active.
