File: bedrock/latest/userguide/api-keys-generate.md

Summary

Clarified that users must select the desired AWS Region in the console before generating a short-term API key, rather than modifying the key directly.

Security assessment

This is a procedural clarification about key generation workflow. No security vulnerabilities or security features are addressed. The change improves user guidance but doesn't alter security implications.
