What Should I Do If I Have Forgotten My Access Key (AK/SK)?

If you are an IAM user, move the pointer to the account name in the upper right corner of the management console, choose Security Settings, click the Critical Operations tab, and check the enabling status of the Access Key Management feature.

• Disabled: All IAM users under the account can manage (create, enable, disable, and delete) their own access keys.
• Enabled: Only IAM users who have been granted the required permissions can manage access keys.

If you cannot manage your access keys:

• request the administrator to manage your access keys. For details, see "Identity and Access Management > User Guide > IAM Users > Managing Access Keys for an IAM User".
• request the administrator to assign required permissions to you or disable access key management. For details, see "Identity and Access Management > User Guide > IAM Users > Assigning Permissions to an IAM User" or "Identity and Access Management > User Guide > Security Settings > Critical Operation Protection".
