You can create an AccessKey pair for your Alibaba Cloud account and RAM user account. When you call API operations, you must use the AccessKey pair to complete identity authentication.
Background information
AccessKey includes AccessKey ID and AccessKey Secret.
- AccessKey ID is used to identify a user.
- AccessKey Secret is used to authenticate a user. AccessKey Secret must be kept confidential.
Warning If the AccessKey information of your Alibaba Cloud account is disclosed, the security
of your resources will be threatened. We recommend that you use your RAM user account
to call operations. This reduces the risk of disclosing the AccessKey information
of your Alibaba Cloud account.
