I can't login to my root aws account right now. It's pretty annoying that the root account login for aws is tied to amazon.com retail accounts.

- rconti 8y agoyeah, I'm pretty sure this could be causing some serious issues with plenty of folks. not sure if it's just the web console or if APIs are affected too, but I sure can't get in.
- philsnow 8y agoI've always been pretty sore about this, that my retail and AWS accounts are linked, with no clear way to disassociate them. If I had known that the accounts were going to be joined at the hip, I would have created my AWS account with a different email.
- all_blue_chucks 8y agoUsing the root account is a poor practice anyway...
- helper 8y agoIs it really so difficult to imagine that I needed to perform an action that can only be done from the root account? For example, the pen test authorization request form can only be filled out from the root account.
