How can I check my COS APPID, SecretId and SecretKey?

To check your COS (Cloud Object Storage) APPID, SecretId, and SecretKey, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the COS Console: Access the management console of your COS service provider.
  2. Navigate to Security Settings: Look for a section related to "Security," "Access Keys," or "API Keys."
  3. View or Create Keys:
    • If you already have keys, they will be listed here.
    • If you need new keys, you can create them by clicking "Create Key" or similar options. The system will generate a new SecretId and SecretKey pair. Note that SecretKeys are typically shown only once, so save them securely.

Example:
If you use Tencent Cloud COS, log in to the Tencent Cloud Console, go to the "COS" service, and navigate to "Access Management" > "API Key Management" to view or create your SecretId and SecretKey.

For secure key management, consider using Tencent Cloud CAM (Cloud Access Management) to control access permissions and avoid exposing keys in code. Use Tencent Cloud Secrets Manager to securely store and manage sensitive credentials like SecretKeys.
