Answer 1

@Rudi Birenbaum Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum , Thank you for posting your query here!

To view and copy your storage account access keys or connection string from the Azure portal:

• • In the Azure portal, go to your storage account.
• Under Security + networking, select Access keys. Your account access keys appear, as well as the complete connection string for each key.
• Select Show keys to show your access keys and connection strings and to enable buttons to copy the values.

You can also use azure Powershell : To retrieve your account access keys with PowerShell, call the Get-AzStorageAccountKey command.

The following example retrieves the first key. To retrieve the second key, use Value1 instead of Value[0]. Remember to replace the placeholder values in brackets with your own values.

$storageAccountKey = `  
    (Get-AzStorageAccountKey  
    -ResourceGroupName <resource-group> `  
    -Name <storage-account>).Value[0]  

If the issue still persist, please share the screenshot of the issues.
