How to sign in to AWS
The way you sign in to AWS depends on what type of AWS user you are. There are different types of AWS users. You can be an account root user, an IAM user, a user in IAM Identity Center, a federated identity, or use AWS Builder ID. For more information, see User types.
You can access AWS by signing in with any of following methods:
-
Sign in to the AWS Management Console as a root user or IAM user
-
Sign in to the AWS access portal as a user in IAM Identity Center
-
Sign in through the AWS Command Line Interface and other programmatic methods like API and SDK (Software Development Kit)
If you want to create a new AWS account, see Part 1: Set up a new AWS account in the AWS Setup Guide.
