How do I get AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID for Amazon?

Question

I\'m totally new to AWS.

I downloaded some sample code from Amazon and I need to set a number of constants:

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
• A

Answer 1

Amazon changes the admin console from time to time, hence the previous answers above are irrelevant in 2020.

The way to get the secret access key (Oct.2020) is:

1. go to IAM console: https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam
2. click on "Users". (see image)
3. go to the user you need his access key.

As i see the answers above, I can assume my answer will become irrelevant in a year max :-)
