AWS Identity Access Management MFA Token Icon

AWS Identity Access Management (IAM) Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) tokens are like an extra layer of security for your AWS account. They add a second verification step, beyond just your password, to make sure only you can access your resources. You'll typically use a physical device, such as a security key or an authenticator app on your phone, to generate a time-sensitive code that you enter along with your password to log in. This prevents unauthorized access even if someone steals your password.
