AWS IAM User Accounts Without MFA

What It Does

This policy template reports any AWS user accounts under an AWS account that do not have MFA (multi-factor authentication) enabled. Optionally, this report can be emailed.

Multi-factor authentication increases account security by requiring the user have access to another device in order to log into the account in addition to their username and password. Hardware MFA uses a hardware tool, such as a physical key, to authenticate. It is recommended that MFA be enabled on all accounts, and in some cases, hardware MFA is preferred.

Input Parameters

• Email Addresses - Email addresses of the recipients you wish to notify.
• Account Number - The Account number for use with the AWS STS Cross Account Role. Leave blank when using AWS IAM Access key and secret. It only needs to be passed when the desired AWS account is different than the one associated with the Flexera One credential. More information is available in our documentation.
• Ignore Users With No Password - Whether or not to ignore users that do not have a console password. Such user accounts can't be logged into directly and do not pose as much of a security risk.

Policy Actions

• Sends an email notification.
