+### `config/secrets.yml`
+
+If you want to use the new `secrets.yml` convention to store your application's
+secrets, you need to:
+
+1. Create a `secrets.yml` file in your `config` folder with the following content:
+
+ ```yaml
+ development:
+ secret_key_base:
+
+ test:
+ secret_key_base:
+
+ production:
+ secret_key_base:
+ ```
+
+2. Copy the existing `secret_key_base` from the `secret_token.rb` initializer to
+ `secrets.yml` under the `production` section.
+
+3. Remove the `secret_token.rb` initializer.
+
+4. Use `rake secret` to generate new keys for the `development` and `test` sections.
+
+5. Restart your server.
