# Programmable Voice configurations

Configurations are reusable settings for your voice workflows. Instead of passing parameters directly in your code or in TwiML, you can store them in a Voice Configuration and apply it by ID. A voice workflow can use either a Voice Configuration or inline parameters, but not both.

You can manage Voice Configurations in [Twilio Console](https://1console.twilio.com) or with the Voice Configuration APIs described in this section.

## Authentication

To authenticate requests to the Twilio APIs, Twilio supports [HTTP Basic authentication](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication). Use your *API key SID* as the username and your *API key secret* as the password. You can create an API key [in the Twilio Console](/docs/iam/api-keys/keys-in-console) or [using the API](/docs/iam/api-keys/key-resource-v1).

Learn more about [Twilio API authentication](/docs/usage/requests-to-twilio).
