In this blog I am going to show, how to have all the green ticks as per AWS recommendation, after setting up a new account.
Once you create a new account (most probably free tier), go to IAM and then if you are not already go to Dashboard.
You should see your status as below.
The next step is to activate an MFA on your account. MFA is multi-factor authentication which provides additional layer of security to login to your account.
The most easy (per me) downloa Duo Mobile and add your account.
You will be asked to enter 2 continous codes and scan the QR Code.
The next step is to add a password policy to the user account.
The next Step is to create a group and a user.
So, click on Add Group and name : AWSAdmins.
Attach the policy as shown below - 'Administrator Access'
Review and Create
Next Create a user and attach this policy to the user, username can be any what you want and password you can set it at your ease.
Now if you go back to the dashboard, you will see - all your boxes are 'green ticked'
