Comment:
Thanks for the ticket!
Unfortunately, with functions like `wp_create_nonce()`,
`wp_verify_nonce()`, or `wp_nonce_field()` being used
[https://wpdirectory.net/search/01EAQ1EXDST2FJ0ZRPMPV5N9ZK 100,000+ times
in 16,000+ plugins] and
[https://wpdirectory.net/search/01EAQ1STGXM7FJ170KWQZ6APX4 7,000+ in 2,000
themes], it doesn't seem like replacing them would be feasible.
We could look into changing the output messages, however, as you
mentioned, that would introduce confusion as to what the messages are
referring to.
