How to create an additional access key for an IAM user

Question

I want to create a new set of the access key. But the Create Access button is disabled since I already had one Access key and Secret Access Key.Please help me with this.

Answer 1

It is not possible to create an additional pair of keys when you already have one in use. You need to delete the previous access key and create a new one.

To create new access keys:

1. Log in to the AWS console

2. From the navigation pane, choose users

3.Select the user and click on Security Credentials Tab

4. Expand the access key section and create the new access key

5. Download the CSV file for further use
