WORKOS_COOKIE_PASSWORD doc inconsistency #425

Description

@cconroy

The current README.md's WORKOS_COOKIE_PASSWORD instructions recommend openssl rand -base64 24 for password generation but the WorkOS AuthKit instructions recommend openssl rand -base64 32

The latter makes a ~45 character password with 32 bytes of entropy while the former makes a ~32 character password with 24 bytes of entropy. I guess it's a question of whether the length recommendation was asking for that many characters of entropy or for the total base64-encoded length.
