AccessKey

Contains information about an AWS access key.

This data type is used as a response element in the CreateAccessKey and ListAccessKeys operations.

Note

The SecretAccessKey value is returned only in response to CreateAccessKey. You can get a secret access key only when you first create an access key; you cannot recover the secret access key later. If you lose a secret access key, you must create a new access key.
