What is AWS account ID?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 6:34 pm

AWS account ID is a unique identifier that is assigned to an AWS account. AWS account ID is used to identify an AWS account, manage AWS resources, and access AWS services.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that asking for someone’s AWS account ID could be an attempt to gain access to their account without permission. If you are not expecting to receive this information, do not provide it.

AWS account ID can also be used to generate temporary security credentials for AWS services.
