Object Storage - captions for key naming #8452

Open Jeder321 opened 2 years ago

Summary

Backblaze B2 is using KeyID and Application Key for names of Access Key and Secret Key respectively in Misskey Control Panel. At first I was confused by this, and so I think it would be great to have caption under both keys that explain B2 uses KeyID instead of Access Key and Application Key instead of Secret Key.

It would then look something like this with captions included image

From quickly checking their website it seems that Backblaze is marketing it only as "S3 compatible" and explains on the respective API documentation page what key is for what:

Access Key ID and Secret Access Key

For the purposes of terminology, the Application Key and Application Key ID are the equivalent of the Secret Access Key and Access Key ID respectively. For more information about App Keys, please see our documentation here.

I'm not sure if it is a good idea to insert more product/company specific hints, because there may be more "S3 compatible" APIs that are using a slightly different naming scheme that we can not all accommodate.
