Objective
This article helps you require public key client validation (PKCV) on your Twilio account, so API requests must be signed with a key you have registered.
Product
Twilio Console
Environment
Twilio Console
Procedure
- In the Twilio Console, select Settings in the left sidebar.
- Under Account settings, select Account details & security.
- Select the Security tab.
- Find the Public key client validation (PKCV) section.
- Use the toggle to switch the requirement on or off. The current state is labelled Enabled or Disabled.
- A confirmation appears: "Public key settings updated successfully."
Additional Information
- Add at least one public key to your account before requiring validation, or signed requests will have nothing to validate against.
- The controls are only available on accounts entitled to public key client validation. If yours is not, the section shows a Purchase Twilio Edition action instead.
- If the change cannot be saved, the page reports "Failed to update public key settings. Please try again." The setting is unchanged, so try again.
