aws-mfa uses --without-mfa-profile to issue a new session token, and uses --mfa-profile value to store a new session token. You can call mfa-required API calls with the profile of --mfa-profile after running aws-mfa.

You don't have to specify --device-arn if you have only one MFA device. aws-mfa will find an ARN from iam:ListMfaDevices API. Please note that --device-arn is required if you have no MFA device or multiple MFA devices.

aws-mfa --code <otp code> --mfa-profile foo
# or
AWS_PROFILE=foo aws-mfa --code <otp code>

• An access key to issue a new token must be stored in foo-without-mfa profile.
• A MFA device associated with your IAM will be chosen
• You can call MFA-required APIs by using foo profile's credentials.

aws-mfa --code <otp code>  --mfa-profile foo --env --device-arn arn:.....:mfa/...

• An access key to issue a new token must be retrieved from AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.
• arn:.....:mfa/... must associate with your IAM and otp code
• You can call MFA-required APIs by using foo profile's credentials.

• an assume-role arn to get an iam
• an assume-role arn to issue a session
• a session name when using an assume-role
