Unverifiedaws login --remote is for machines without a browser; the CLI prints a URL for the user to open on another device, and after logging in the authorization code is copied back to the CLI prompt.67% similarUnverifiedThe Session credential replacement of aws login is transparent to the consumer; the command syntax is no different from using long-term keys, and the CLI substitutes the credentials used for signing under the hood.66% similarUnverifiedThe aws login session has an upper limit, and chained refreshes are ultimately bounded by the IAM principal session duration established at the initial login; once the limit is reached, the browser flow must be gone through again.65% similarUnverifiedThe --remote cross-device login and the same-device login flows of aws login each have their own separate resource ARNs, which can be allowed or denied separately in IAM policies.63% similarUnverifiedThe Session Token is a credential for the login state; once the platform obtains it, it can operate the account as the user to complete plan activation.54% similar
