As a Security Best Practice we should always require IAM Users to have Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enabled when accessing the AWS Console.
The problem is how do we require users to configure MFA?
The IAM policy below can be used to require users to enable their MFA. If they do not have MFA, all their permissions will be denied. This will make access to your AWS Account more secure.
IAM Policy that requires IAM Users to have Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
{
