They still don't allow multiple MFAs on the root account for console access.


> Now, you can add multiple MFA devices to AWS account root users and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users in your AWS accounts


Right. I’m in my root account dashboard and I can add only one token.

From the link:

> How to manage multiple MFA devices in IAM

> You can register up to eight MFA devices, in any combination of the currently supported MFA types, with your root users and IAM users.

To register an MFA device

Sign in to the AWS Management Console and do the following: For a root user, choose My Security Credentials.

For an IAM user, choose Security credentials. For Multi-factor authentication (MFA), choose Assign MFA device. Select the type of MFA device that you want to use and then choose Next. ——


I read the article my man. You’re still restricted to one MFA via the console on the root user. I don’t care what the page says the instructions aren’t valid.

Check the comments, looks like it's a screw-up on their end.


My bad.

It seems to still be rolling out.

> Hey Andrew, a small number of AWS accounts require additional configuration changes on our end before customers can take advantage of the new feature. We are currently working on making the required configuration changes and we will notify you when your account configuration is updated. For additional support, please submit a support request or reach out to your designated technical account manager.


Thank you!! Finally ayayay
