Serverless offline start is not working without SERVERLESS_ACCESS_KEY

I am trying to setup AWS lamba and api gateway with Serverless framework.

Following is working successfully

  • deploy to aws
  • start serverless offline with SERVERLESS_ACCESS_KEY

I want to remove dependecies on serveless access key for the local setup.
If SERVERLESS_ACCESS_KEY is not set then following message/error is thrown in console
Using local credentials. Add provider credentials via dashboard: https://app.serverless.com

I want to start serveless application offline without providing access to the app serverless dashboard
