AWS MFA CLI
If you have set up the Multi-factor Authentication for your AWS account in order to use AWS CLI with this account you'll need to use Authenticator app to generate temporary credentials. Our AWS MFA CLI does that for you and creates a new temporary account within ~/.aws/credentials file.

nvm install
. Otherwise just use Node v12+ - Run
npm i
Usage
- Copy
.env.example
file to.env
- Fill out the
.env
file with credentials of your main AWS account. Here's a description of the variables:
- PROFILE_NAME - the name of the new temporary profile. For example,
mfa
- MAIN_PROFILE_NAME - the name of your main AWS profile which you set up. More details on the initial AWS CLI configuration here
- ACCOUNT_NUMBER - your main AWS account ID. How to find your AWS ID
- ACCOUNT_NAME - your IAM User name. To find it use
this
instruction, but instead look for
IAM User
in a dropdown - TOKEN_TTL - defines for how much seconds is the temporary account is
valid for. Max value is
129600
seconds (36 hours)
- Run
