| Removed in version: | Still in use |
| Allowed values: | (boolean) |
| Default value: | true (1.34+)false (1.32-1.33) |

The cookie will contain an authentication code if $wgSecretKey is set, or otherwise will just be the block ID (in which case there is a possibility of an attacker discovering the names of revdeleted users, so it is best to use this in conjunction with $wgSecretKey being set).
