How can we get our AWS Access Key ID and Secret Access Key?

  1. Go to aws.amazon.com.
  2. Click Account and then click Security Credentials.
  3. Scroll down to Access Credentials and make sure the Access Keys tab is selected. The AWS Access Key ID appears in the Access Key column.
  4. To view the Secret Access Key, click Show.

Your Secret Access Key is a secret, which only you and AWS should know. It is important to keep it confidential to protect your account. Store it securely in a safe place. Never include it in your requests to AWS, and never e-mail it to anyone. 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 Access Key.

In order to use various AWS services, we may need to configure our software use the AWS Access Key ID and Secret Access Key on our behalf.
