## Connection Parameters

### Key ID

The B2 Key ID is your unique identifier for authentication.

### Application Key

The Application Key is your private authentication key that pairs with your Key ID. Use a generated [Application Key](https://www.backblaze.com/docs/cloud-storage-application-keys), not the Master Application Key. The Master key is not S3-compatible.
