Access keys consist of an access key ID and secret access key, which are used to sign programmatic requests
that you make to AWS. If you don't have access keys, you can create them by using the AWS Management Console.
We recommend that you use IAM access keys instead of AWS root account access keys.
IAM lets you securely control access to AWS services and resources in your AWS account.
- Open the IAM console.
- From the navigation menu, click Users.
- Select your IAM user name.
- Click User Actions, and then click Manage Access Keys.
- Click Create Access Key.
Your keys will look something like this:
- Click Download Credentials, and store the keys in a secure location.
Your
secret key will no longer be available through the AWS Management
Console; you will have the only copy.
Keep it confidential in order to protect your account, and never
email it. Do not share it outside your organization, even if
an inquiry appears to come
from AWS or Amazon.com. No one who legitimately represents
Amazon will ever ask you for your secret key.
