Access keys

Access keys are API tokens that allow you to communicate with the Authentication Cloud API. Each access key is a unique identifier that identifies an application or user when making an API request. On the Access keys page of the management console, you can create access keys as a first step to setting up app integrations, as well as browse, manage, and delete your existing access keys.
