Description
Enabling MFA provides increased security as it requires the authenticating principal to possess a device that emits a time-sensitive key (for hardware MFA) and have knowledge of a credential (virtual MFA).
How to fix?
Create an aws_iam_virtual_mfa_device resource in Terraform and attach it to the user in the AWS console.
Example Configuration
resource "aws_iam_virtual_mfa_device" "example" {
virtual_mfa_device_name = "example"
}
