 right now, when someone installs WordPress, it provides this in the wp-
 config.php:

 `
 define('AUTH_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
 define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
 define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
 define('NONCE_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
 `

 why should it not automatically generate unique values from the get-go and
 have the user one step closer to being more secure?

 I'm suggesting it automatically generate unique values for those constants
 from the moment WordPress installed
