3. Get the key

There are two ways to obtain the key: Get the key with the main account and Get the key with the sub-account

The difference between main account and sub-account

The main account can obtain the key more quickly and can be activated directly. However, after the key is activated, it will have the authority to operate other Tencent Cloud resources.

To obtain the key for a sub-account, you need to open the sub-account first, set permissions, and then activate it. Compared with the main account, it is more troublesome, but it is also safer.
