Rotate client secret for your application

To ensure your applications remain secure, you can periodically rotate the client secret generated by Kinde.

You can only rotate client secrets for:

• Back-end applications
• Machine to Machine (M2M) applications

You can only rotate a client secret by completely deactivating the old one. You must update any dependent apps, connections, and services with the new secret immediately.
