Repo credentials to install extension

[webrain]

Hello,
an external company needs to install its extension and they asked me to provide repo credentials to my Magento 2 site.
But I don't know what to give him. Can anyone tell me how I can generate these credentials to have them install the extension?

@webrain ,

it should be the Authorize Keys 

To get OR create  authentication keys:

1. Log in to the Marketplace.

2. from My Account in the top-right select My Profile.

3. click on the Marketplace tab.

4. Click Access Keys

Kindly Accept as a Solution if this works for you and give Kudos

Thanks for the reply.
So in your opinion with these Access keys they can install a new module (not present on the marketplace) on our Magento 2 site?

with these credentials,

they can install any module from marketplace which is purchased from your account

But the module they need to install is not on the marketplace that's why I don't understand and they asked me for the repo credentials to install their module.

@webrain ,

my suggestion is to provide a dev environment and ask them to install it over there.

make sure you have set up a git repo with the Magento installation in dev to track the files which they are updating. 

once they are done with that,

you can check the updated files and commit them to your repo & merge the same with your production.
