Amazon Web Services is upping the ante on the security front with significant new changes to AWS And the Identity and access management Users (IAM). Announcing the changes in a blog post published earlier this week, Liam Wadman and Khaled Zaki said that users can now add more than one. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for root users of their AWS account and IAM users of their AWS accounts.
Until now, only one MFA endpoint could be associated with root users or IAM users, but now Amazon has raised the number to eight, a change that “raises security,” the authors said.
