How to use MFA with AWS CLI using Yubikey

How to use MFA with AWS CLI using Yubikey

While resetting my IAM keys, I realized I had all those powerful keys lying in plaintext in the credentials file.

Even though it requires access to my laptop, I wanted to have some extra security. As a big fan of MFA, I decided to enforce MFA with Yubikey while using CLI.

Here's the full article and step-by-step guide:

You will need to have a Yubikey to be able to follow the article, though.

I hope it helps others as well.
