• Introduction
• Command

#Introduction

Everything is done via the app-key-rotator:rotate artisan command. When the command is ran, it'll modify your .env file and add OLD_APP_KEY=your-old-app-key to it. If something goes wrong with your app key rotation, you can always revert back to your old app key from your .env file. This is also used in case decryption fails with the new app key; it'll try and decrypt values with the previous app key.

#Command

php artisan app-key-rotator:rotate

{tip} You should probably make a backup of your .env file before running this command and rotating your app key.
