Answer

You must set AWS Provider credentials as per the cloud specification. Check below doc

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs

RIGHT CODE CAN BE LIKE THIS

provider "aws" {
  region     = "us-east-1"
  access_key = "SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"
  secret_key = "oSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"
}
