Root Access Keys provide unlimited access to your AWS resources. It's not recommended to use them in normal situations. AWS recommends to delete existing Root Access Keys and create IAM user and Access Keys limited to specific service or resource (see below).
To Delete Root Access Keys
Ensure that no Amazon IAM access keys are created during initial setup for all IAM users that have a console password. By default, during IAM user setup process, AWS Management Console sets the checkbox for creating access keys to enabled, generating unnecessary access credentials that need to be managed and protected against exposure.

3. Enter your account email address and password:
Enter Account Email
4. Type the IAM in the search box and choose the IAM service from the drop-down list.
Open the IAM Dashboard
- Next you'll create the IAM user who you will generate a access key for. On the navigation bar click the users link. Click the add user button. User Details. Enter your desired user name into the user name field. For access type select the programmatic access option. This step is important as otherwise your user won't have access via a key pair.
- Access keys are long-term credentials for an IAM user or the AWS account root user. You can use access keys to sign programmatic requests to the AWS CLI or AWS API (directly or using the AWS SDK).
- Creating a key pair using Amazon EC2 Importing your own public key to Amazon EC2 Tagging a Key Pair Retrieving the public key for your key pair on Linux Retrieving the public key for your key pair on Windows Retrieving the public key for your key pair from your instance Verifying your key pair's fingerprint Deleting your key pair Adding or replacing a key pair for your instance Connecting to.
- AWS Simple AD Users are not AWS IAM Users. That's the distinction. Only IAM Users can get keys with which to access the AWS API. There is an exception to the above statement - if you set up a federated identity provider in IAM. There are many supported federated identity providers that use SAML (OIDC works too), but since you already have a Simple.

Since version 3.1.3 S3 Browser supports managing Access Keys for IAM users.
Previously Bucket Sharing Wizard was used to automatically create IAM users, access keys and IAM policies. But, as you probably noticed, you can view Secret Access Key only right after creation. This is how AWS IAM designed to provide you better security.
If you didn't wrote down Secret Access Key after creation, there is no way to restore it later. Instead you may create new Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.
Currently AWS IAM allows you to create up to the 2 access key pairs per user. So, before creating new access keys, you may need to delete existing ones.
Another reason why you may need access keys management - you may need sometimes to temporarily disable access keys for a particular user.

1. Click Tools -> Access Manager (IAM)
2. Select the user whose access keys you want to view or edit.
