+    It is recommended to not use the same verifier to different things, so you can get different
+    verifiers passing the name argument.
+
+        message = Rails.application.message_verifier('cookies').generate('my sensible cookie data')
+
+    By default all the verifiers will share the same salt, so messages generates by one can be
+    verifier by another one.
+
     See the `ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier` documentation to more information.
