Release: AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) on 2011-11-02
This release of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) introduces support for virtual Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
||With this release, you can use IAM to configure and enable a virtual
MFA device. A virtual MFA device uses a software application that
can generate six-digit authentication codes that are Open
AuTHentication Time-based One-Time Password (OATH
TOTP)-compatible. The software application can run on any mobile
hardware device, including a smartphone.
For more information about virtual MFA and about using IAM to
configure and enable a virtual MFA device, see Using a Virtual MFA
Device with AWS.
