You have to change them with a secret key, to generate secret keys you can run the following command:

```bash
python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))"
python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32)[:40])"
```

Copy the content and use that as password / secret key. And run that again to generate another secure key.
