My Credentials

You can view and manage your security credentials on the My Credentials page.

When you access Huawei Cloud using APIs, you need to use your security credentials, such as the account name, account ID, and IAM user ID. You can view them on the new console. You can also manage your login credentials, access keys (AKs/SKs), and multi-factor authentication (MFA) devices on this page.

Constraints

If an IAM user needs to view and modify My Credentials, the user must be granted required permissions. For details about the actions, see IAM Actions Supported by Identity Policy-based Authorization.

Viewing My Credentials

  1. Log in to the Huawei Cloud console, hover over the username in the upper right corner, and choose My Credentials from the drop-down list.

    Identity Credentials

    IAM Username

    The username used by an IAM user to log in to Huawei Cloud.

    IAM User ID

    The ID of the IAM user, which is automatically generated by Huawei Cloud. The IAM user ID cannot be modified.

    Account Name

    The name of an account, which is automatically created upon successful registration of an entity (such as an enterprise). The account pays bills for the use of cloud resources in the account. Resources of different accounts are isolated.

    Account ID

    The ID of an account, which is automatically generated by Huawei Cloud. The account ID cannot be modified.

    Login Credentials

    The password used for logging in to the console. You can reset the login password and view the expiration date and the last time it was changed.

    Access Keys

    A pair of an access key ID (AK) and secret access key (SK) of users. You can create a maximum of two pairs. AKs/SKs are used to sign API requests.

    Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

    MFA requires users to enter a verification code, insert a hardware device, or provide a fingerprint, PIN, or facial information in addition to the username and password for logging in to the console. MFA provides higher security for your account and resources.
