Configuration

Setting a more secure password

In order to set up a more secure password and username, go to the Configuration section, and enter a more random secretKey and accessKey. Keep in mind that these will be stored in plain-text and be accessible in the application Configuration tab, so don’t reuse these anywhere. The accessKey and secretKey you entered can then be used when login into minio.
