How to get AWS Secret Access Key for Beginners
Where’s My Secret Access Key?
Secret access keys are—as the name implies—secrets, like your password. For your own security, AWS doesn’t reveal your password to you if you forgot it (you’d have to set a new password). Similarly, AWS does not allow retrieval of a secret access key after its initial creation. This applies to both root secret access keys and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user secret access keys.

As a security best practice, you should securely store your secret access keys (see our best practices guide to learn how). If you have lost your secret access key, you can always replace it by creating a new access key.
