# Rekeying {#rekeying}

If you change the public keys in `secrets.nix`, you should rekey your
|
||
|
|
secrets:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```ShellSession
|
||
|
|
$ agenix --rekey
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To rekey a secret, you have to be able to decrypt it. Because of
|
||
|
|
randomness in `age`'s encryption algorithms, the files always change
|
||
|
|
when rekeyed, even if the identities do not. (This eventually could be
|
||
|
|
improved upon by reading the identities from the age file.)
