# Logging into an account

Once you’ve requested an account and the account is in an **Active** state, you can access login to the associated AWS console.

- On the home page, select **Login to account** (1) for the account you want to access. This directs you to the **AWS Access portal.**

- On the AWS Access portal, the **Account access details** box, you will find all the available roles that can be used for logging in. You can either: 
    - **Select the role name** (1) you want to use. This will redirect you to the AWS console.
    - Alternatively, to retrieve your AWS CLI credentials, choose **Access keys** next to your desired role. This will open a pop-up with instructions for Mac, Linux, Windows and PowerShell environments.
