When you are interacting with the repository from the command line you are required to use an API key if you want to pull locked container images or push back to the registry. The API key is unique to you and tied to your account.
Keep your API key secret and in a safe place. Do not share it or store it in a place where others can see or copy it.
Configure your CLI to use the API Key.
