What do I do if I receive an error when completing the one-time passcode to sign in to my AWS account?

Resolution

Resolve issues with your browser

If your browser prevents you from logging in, then complete the following steps:

• Clear your browser's cache and cookies.
• Use a different browser. For a list of supported browsers, see What browsers are supported for use with the AWS Management Console?
• If you use a mobile device, use a desktop browser instead.

Troubleshoot OTP delivery issues

If you have difficulties receiving the OTP, complete the following steps:

• Wait for up to five minutes for the code to arrive.
• Check your spam folder to make sure that the code isn't incorrectly flagged.
• If you exceeded the maximum number of attempts, wait an additional 15 minutes before trying to sign in again.

1. Fill out the Amazon Web Services Support form to contact AWS Support.
2. Provide detailed information about the issue that you're facing, including any error messages that you get during the sign-in process.
