AWS Multi-Factor Authentication

AWS Multi-Factor Authentication is an additional layer of security that offers enhanced control over your AWS account settings.

AWS MFA uses an authentication device that continually generates random, six-digit authentication codes solely for your use. Once you enable AWS MFA, every time somebody tries to sign in to your secure pages on the AWS website or AWS Management Console, access will only be granted after the correct Amazon email-id and password and the current code from your authentication device are provided.
