Manage access keys

Learn how to manage access keys to run your tests on BrowserStack.

BrowserStack APIs use HTTP Basic Auth for authentication and require BrowserStack’s account credentials in each request. It helps in identifying the account from which API requests are made. BrowserStack account credentials include username and access-key

You can find your username and access key in your Account > Settings.

If you are logged-in you will be able to view your username and access key below as well:

username = YOUR_USERNAME
access-key = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY

Reset access keys

We provide you an access key when a user account is created. You may want to reset your BrowserStack access key in any of the following cases:

• In order to comply with your organization’s internal key rotation policies.
• When any members leave the organization.

This page shows two ways of obtaining a new BrowserStack access key:

1. Via Command Prompt or Terminal
2. Through an API Client (such as Postman)
