Hi Joel,
First up, the use of key and secret (or rather, consumer key and secret), is an LTI 1.1 concept - a standard which is now deprecated. We still support publishing courses and activities this way in Moodle, however, if you've got access to Moodle 4.0+, you're going to want to use LTI Advantage.
If you want to continue to use the old LTI method, please see the docs https://docs.moodle.org/400/en/Publish_as_LTI_tool#Legacy_resources. You'll see that consumer key can be anything you like. it's essentially a string to identify the consumer and Moodle will store the relevant consumer information on first launch.
Hope that helps,
Jake
