If you want to check the uniqueness of accountId alone, add this to your class:

@UniqueEntity(fields={"accountID"}, message="This account is already taken")

Here the full code that check the uniqueness of the combinaison "keyID", "vCode", "accountID" and also the uniqueness of "accountID" alone:

I don't know if you saw that the error only affect the field accountID, if you don't want this behavior just remove "unique=true" from your property $accountID.

If you just want to say that the cominaison "keyID", "vCode", "accountID" must be unique in the database, proceed like that:

/**
 * @ORM\Table(name="_apiKey",
 *      uniqueConstraints = {
 *          @ORM\UniqueConstraint(name="_api_key_key_id_v_code_account_id", columns={"keyID", "vCode", "accountID})
 *      }
 * )
 *
 * ...
 * etc, ...
 */
class apiKey
