# Saving plugin settings killing AWS credentials?

 * I have successfully set up Polly on my website (months ago), and am trying to
   set it up for a client of mine. I can get everything working but when I click“
   Save” on the plugin settings page, all of the field states return to “Please 
   verify your AWS Credentials are accurate.”
 * Steps:
 * – Install and activate plugin
    – Create new IAM user with programatic access –
   Attach existing policies directly (PollyForWordpressPolicy) – Copy AWS keys and
   insert in plugin settings
 * So far so good, now all of the plugin settings are editable. But as soon as I
   change a setting and save, all of the field states return to “Please verify your
   AWS Credentials are accurate.”
 * Notes:
 * – WordPress and all plugins are up-to-date
    – Cache was flushed before and after
   installation – Client is on GoDaddy – Client does not have a SSL cert
 * Help?!

 * Hi [@orangeaxis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/orangeaxis/),
    Just to make
   sure, you wrote: “all of the field states return to “Please verify your AWS Credentials
   are accurate.” – does it mean that before (after you have initially provided 
   credentials), those settings options were editable? And just then, after you 
   modify some of them, they return to ‘Please verify…’ value? Or then were never
   in editable state?
 * Cheers,

 * [@tstachlewski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tstachlewski/) yes that is
   correct. I can change the value(s) and all of the drop-down boxes work, but when
   I save, all of the fields return to “Please verify your AWS Credentials are accurate.”
 * It sure sounds like a caching issue to me. Continuing to troubleshoot on my end.
 * Thx!

 * I believe I have found the culprit. The Dashlane Chrome extension (Dashlane is
   a password manager) is looking at the AWS secret key textbox and considering 
   it a password field. Dashlane was overwriting the AWS key with something else(
   probably the website WordPress admin password) every time I hit the settings 
   page.
 * Once I disabled the extension, I was able to get things working.
 * Dashlane users – I would advise that you do *not* save if prompted by Dashlane
   once you enter your AWS keys.
 * Thanks!
