Migrate database and cookie_key

[Andy-BX]

Hallo,

Due at ftp migration problem I lose some files of my shop on ver 1.7.4.3, then I operate in this way.

I create a fresh installation of Prestashop 1.7.4.3, after I configurate the shop with theme, module, language, image etc. as previous installation.

Then using phpmyadmin I replaced the database, first with drop tables and then with import of the old detabase still intact.

Everything works fine, even login as administrator and login as a customer, user name and password. But logically I can not test all the clients because I do not know their passwords,

This is the question, I have not changed the values for 'secret' and 'cookie_key' inside the parameters.php file (they are those of the new installation), is this right? Should I leave them as they are or do I have to replace them with those from the old shop? thank you all for your help.

Hello,
I think that you should change "secret" and '"cookie_key" by putting old ones if there there are registred customer, following this way, they don't have to change their passwords.
