GCP labs show the lab's temporary credentials for you to enter. AWS labs enter the lab's temporary credentials for you.
All hands-on labs use temporary credentials that give you access to an instance of the cloud. These credentials are in effect only during the lab's access time.
Note: The email address and password that you use to sign in to Qwiklabs are not the temporary credentials used by labs.
Temporary credentials are created after you click Start Lab and enter payment information. The way that temporary credentials are applied to the lab depends on the cloud environment you are using.
