AWS enables developers to use console credentials for AWS CLI and SDK authentication
Share
Services
Developers can now use their existing AWS Management Console sign-in credentials for programmatic access to AWS services. After a quick browser-based authentication flow, AWS automatically generates temporary credentials that work across local development tools like the AWS CLI, AWS Tools for PowerShell and AWS SDKs. To get started, simply install or upgrade to the latest version of the AWS CLI and run _aws login_ in your terminal.
This login for AWS local development feature makes it easier to start building with AWS services within minutes of account sign-up, eliminating the need to create and manage separate identities and access keys for programmatic access. The _aws login_ CLI command generates short-lived credentials that are automatically rotated, reducing the risks associated with long-term access keys and enhancing your security posture.
This feature is available in all commercial AWS regions.
To get started, install or upgrade to AWS CLI version 2.32.0 and the latest versions of all AWS SDKs.
