AWS For Beginners with Hands-On Labs - S3 Labs pt 1 & 2 credentials will not work

I have been trying to do the S3 labs, parts 1 and 2 for some time now. The AWS Credentials listed do not work.

I have restarted the labs, tried on different days, no joy. showcreds on the command line show the same credentials yet the AWS login screen fails due to invalid credentials.

I just tried part 1 and it worked first time.
Are you sure you copied them correctly, like didn’t accidentally copy a space character or something?

The easiest way is to use showcreds, and then double-click on each of the username and password to select them, then right-click → copy

yes I tried that each time. As well as copy / paste. The credentials were not accepted, AWS claimed they were not valid.

The first lab of the series (EC2) worked just fine.
