The Access Keys tab manages the S3 credentials your applications use to talk to the bucket. Each key is a pair: an access key ID and a secret key.

Creating a key

1. Open the Access Keys tab and click Create New Access Key.
2. Both the key ID and the secret are generated for you.
3. Copy the secret key immediately. For security it is shown exactly once — after you close the dialog it can never be displayed again. If you lose it, update the key's secret or create a new key.

Keys are always bound to your own storage account and only grant access to your own bucket.

Managing existing keys

For each key you can:

• View its details (key ID, account, status).
• Update Secret Key — set a new secret if the old one was lost or exposed.
• Delete — permanently revokes the key. Anything still using it will lose access immediately.

Good practice

• Use a separate key per application or device (one for backups, one for your website, ...), so you can revoke one without breaking the others.
• Treat secret keys like passwords: never commit them to code repositories or share them in tickets/chat.
• If a key may have leaked, delete it or rotate its secret right away.
