It sure would be nice if AWS would support FIDO U2F. Currently, only TOTP codes are supported. I guess most orgs are implementing that in their SSO solution, but for those of us that still have regular IAM users, U2F would be a big improvement in usability.

Yes! I don't understand why it has taken so long. The benefit for protecting root accounts and scenarios where federation is not applicable is significant.

I find the usability to be a particular drag during local development.

It looks like they were going to and then backed off. See here: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=163777&st...

You can add your voice to the comments there, but I don't think they plan to implement any time soon.
