I was so happy when I finally got cross-account roles working so I could use a nice drop down and seamlessly switch between my accounts. So cool!

Then I learned because they’re saving it all browser-side I had to rebuild the whole menu whenever I first used a new browser or computer? Whaaaat? Of all people, AWS console users have to be highly likely to be using multiple devices/browsers. Having to recreate your own prefs at each new environment is nuts.

Not to mention that the there is a pretty small limit on how many can show up in the drop down (I don't remember how many) so it isn't very scalable if you follow the recommendations to create a lot of accounts.

Plus you have to look up the account id in order to set it up initially.

Second this recommendation. Our TAM suggested it and it works great. You can even install the Chrome plugin in the Edge browser.

This add on is highly recommended inside of Amazon and AWS, too.
