AWS updates sign-in experience with redesigned page and new account creation options
Key points
- AWS is updating its sign-in and sign-up experience.
- The sign-in page has been redesigned with a unified email entry point.
- New options for creating and accessing AWS accounts are being introduced.
- Existing customers will use their current sign-in methods.
Redesigned Sign-In Page
AWS is gradually introducing a redesigned sign-in page. Previously, users selected between 'Root user' and 'IAM user' before entering credentials. The new design features a unified email entry point where users enter their email address, and AWS automatically determines the appropriate sign-in flow.
For IAM users, a separate 'IAM User' option is available to proceed to a dedicated sign-in page where they can enter their account ID or alias, IAM username, and password. This change aims to streamline the initial sign-in process for different user types.
New Account Creation and Access Options
The updates include new options for creating and accessing AWS accounts. These new options support email-based sign-in for accounts created with the updated sign-up experience. The redesigned page also incorporates sign-in options for accounts created using supported identity providers like Google, GitHub, Apple, or an Amazon.com account.
Impact on Existing Users and Workflows
Existing AWS customers will continue to use their current sign-in methods and credentials. AWS will guide them through the appropriate sign-in experience based on their existing setup. Organizations relying on the current sign-in interface for browser automation or scripted workflows are advised to review these updates to understand potential impacts on their configurations.
Users of AWS IAM Identity Center or IAM federation will continue to sign in through their organization’s access portal or federation URL, as their existing sign-in process remains unchanged by these updates.
