AWS has a simple workaround though as you can create as many users as you want, each with its own unique token. Combined with roles it’s straightforward to set up a backup user / device.
It makes sense technically to have a single token anyway. Otherwise you either need to include then identifier of the auth token (in addition to the secret) or have the verification step try out all N options.

Otherwise you either need to include then identifier of the auth token (in addition to the secret) or have the verification step try out all N options. I'm not sure if that is true. Most sites support multiple tokens. Off the top of my head I can think of Google, Facebook, Github, Gitlab, and more that support multiple. So it seems like the normal method is to support multiple. One one site I have over 5 auth tokens configured. And tested with four of them connected to my PC at the same time. I could tap on any one of them to authenticate. This is on a Windows 10 PC.
- koolba 6y agoNone of those sites have a concept of users within an account. For each the user and the account are one in the same.
- blibble 6y agoso how do I do that for the root account, of which there can be only one?
