Console login: remember MFA device

Question

When logging in to the AWS console, I am prompted for a multi factor authentication code every time.

Is it possible to have MFA credentials remembered on my device for a period of time before being prompted again?

Accepted Answer

If you are using AWS IAM Identity Center successor of AWS SSO then it's possible and it'd ask for MFA authentication, only if sign-in context changes.

Refer [Enable MFA](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/singlesignon/latest/userguide/mfa-enable-how-to.html) for more details.

With IAM, to best of my knowledge this feature is not available and you'll be prompted for MFA when you attempt to login.

Hope this helps.

Answer

This is how it should work. Every log our forced you to use MFA again.

To speed it up you can use a password manager add-on for your browser that will generate and paste a new code.
