This Quick Start is for those who use or plan to use directory types like AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory (also known as AWS Managed Microsoft AD) or Active Directory Connector (AD Connector), and who want to apply MFA.
Duo MFA mitigates the threat of compromised credentials caused by phishing, malware, and other security threats.
If you use a federation mechanism like AWS Single Sign-On (SSO) or Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) with a Directory Service option, you configure your own MFA. Using Duo MFA, you log in to the AWS Management Console, and then use Duo authentication methods including Duo Push through Duo Mobile, and your Active Directory credentials to authenticate to AWS.
