How Do I Disable Login Authentication?

To ensure account security, you are advised to bind an MFA device to enable login authentication.

After you bind an MFA device, MFA authentication is required for you or IAM users created using your account on the Login Verification page during their logins.

After you unbind the MFA device, you and your IAM users only need to enter the account name or username and password to log in.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the IAM console. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Users.
  2. Click a username to go to the user details page.
  3. Select the Security Settings tab and find Multi-factor Authentication (MFA).
  4. Locate the MFA device and click Unbind in the Operation column.
  5. In the displayed dialog box, enter Yes to confirm unbinding. The following describes how to unbind an MFA device.
