AWS access portal now offers streamlined sign in for AWS Console Mobile App

AWS IAM Identity Center now provides customers with streamlined first-time access to the AWS Console Mobile Application, reducing the required user actions by more than half.

In the past, AWS IAM Identity Center customers who wanted to access the AWS Console Mobile Application were required to find and manually enter their AWS access portal sign in URL. With this release, users can scan a QR code on their AWS Access Portal page using their mobile device. An application link takes them directly to the AWS Console Mobile Application and pre-populates the sign in URL for their AWS access portal.

The Console Mobile Application lets users view and manage a select set of resources to stay informed and connected with their AWS resources while on-the-go. The sign in process supports device password managers and biometrics authentication, making access to AWS resources simple, secure, and quick. IAM Identity Center is the recommended service for managing workforce access to AWS applications and multiple AWS accounts. Both the Console Mobile Application and IAM Identity Center are available to you at no additional cost.
