Managing registry passwords
For devices and registries to begin exchanging data and commands, you need to log in. This section describes how to manage registry passwords for the appropriate authorization method.
Note
When using an X.509 certificate along with a password, the password has higher priority.
Adding a password to a registry
You can add a password to an existing registry or set it when creating a registry using the --password
parameter.
Note
You can also set a password from the input stream. To do this, use the --read-password
flag instead of the --password
parameter.
Adding a password to an existing registry
To add a password to an existing registry:
- In the management console, select the folder where you wish to set a password for a previously created registry.
- Select Yandex IoT Core.
- Select the desired registry from the list.
- Under Passwords, click Add password.
- In the Password field, enter the password you will be using to access your registry.
You can use a password generator to create a password.
Make sure you save the password - you will need it later. - Click Add.
If you don't have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

-
Get a list of registries in the folder:
yc iot registry list
