Describe the bug

From the docs:

1. Secrets must be 32-character-long strings
2. These secrets must have high entropy (>= 256 bit)

So let's play the password game! Assuming 1 character = 1 byte, this suggest yaml-escaping 32 raw bytes. More than 256 bit entropy would be impossible, unless unicode characters are allowed, but I've never seen emojiis in (cookie) secrets.

To make it more sane, I'd expect kratos to hash the passed value before usage, regardless of the length of the value to extract full entropy, and exactly that seems to be done: https://github.com/ory/kratos/blob/50f1b8f0df8636cea94d1100c1dc68dd8f6bdfc5/driver/registry_default.go#L530-L534

IMHO, the documentation should be updated to remove the secret length requirement.
