How to Resolve Manually

To resolve this manually, sign in to the AWS Management Console. Navigate to IAM. In the left menu, select Users.


Click on the IAM User that this rule is marking as NON_COMPLIANT and go to the Security Credentials tab.


In the Sign-In Credentials section, check the Assigned MFA device. Click on Manage and select the MFA device you want to assign to this user.
