1. Log in to the console.
2. Click on the login username in the upper right corner and choose My Credentials from the drop-down list.
3. Choose Access Keys.
4. Click Create Access Key.
5. Enter an access key description (optional) and click OK.
6. Enter the verification code your mobile phone, virtual MFA device, or email received, and click OK.
   

   This step is required only when you have enabled operation protection.

7. Click Download to obtain the access key file.
   

   Keep AKs and SKs properly to prevent information leakage.
