adborden commented 4 years ago

When adding a new IAM user and the new user tries to add a virtual MFA device, they receive an error:

work around

$ aws iam delete-virtual-mfa-device --serial-number arn:aws:iam::587807691409:mfa/<user>

How to reproduce

Following the new IAM user docs:

  1. Add a new user to users.tf
  2. Admin enables console access and sets a temporary password
  3. New user logs into the console, updates their password.
  4. New user goes to add a new virtual MFA device.

Expected behavior

User is able to create a new virtual MFA device.
