# Generate AWS Keys.

{% hint style="danger" %}

## IMPORTANT:

**The below section is only for users who have registered before 12-Nov-2019.** 

#### **New users (who have registered after 12-Nov-2019) will have to create an** [**AWS Role**](https://docs.sendwithses.com/how/aws-setups/create-aws-role) **instead of using AWS Keys.** Go here : <https://docs.sendwithses.com/getting-started>

{% endhint %}

### Login to your AWS Account Management Console (<https://aws.amazon.com/console/>). **If you do not have an account you can create one for free. For instructions see this link ‘**[**How to create a free AWS account**](https://sendwithses.gitbook.io/helpdocs/how/how-to-create-a-free-aws-account)**’.**

{% hint style="info" %}

### IMPORTANT: You will need to attach 4 policies (**SES, SNS, SQS, and, S3**) and then generate your AWS Keys. Follow Video or Text instructions given below.

### ----- 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;
