This error shows up when Splunk tries to decrypt something encrypted by another copy of Splunk.
Especially if you're a Splunk Cloud customer, make sure that you aren't copying add-ons from one forwarder to another. This can happen with the Universal Forwarder credentials app, or any other content that has encrypted credentials - the credentials get encrypted on first run, so copying to another forwarder will have it try to decrypt using an incorrect key.
Re-download your add-ons (from Splunkbase) and this should clear up.
