### ----- RE-CHECK ----- Have you attached all 4 policies (**SES, SNS, SQS, and, S3**) ?

#### IF YES, YOU ARE GOOD TO GO: You can copy paste your AWS keys in [**Send With SES**](https://sendwithses.com) to start sending emails.

{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**SECURITY OF YOUR AWS KEYS:**\
Your AWS keys are encrypted both in transit and at rest. At any time, you can delete your keys, generate a new set of keys (using the same process as above) and input your new keys into Send With SES. You will not lose your data.

***It is recommended you periodically rotate your AWS Keys.***&#x20;
