The The Console Mobile Application supports several authentication methods, including owner/root credentials, IAM user credentials, and AWS access keys. An owner account is the AWS login that created the account. An IAM user is an identity that has been created by an administrator through the IAM service. Note that IAM users need to also provide their account alias, which can be found at the top of the web console sign-in screen. AWS access keys are used to sign programmatic requests that the app makes to AWS.
For security reasons, we recommend that you secure your device with a passcode and that you follow an AWS best practice by creating and using an IAM user's credentials to log in to the app. If you lose your device, an IAM user can be deactivated to prevent unauthorized access. Root accounts cannot be deactivated.

We plan to add new features to The Console Mobile Application. Tell us what you need using the feedback link in the app.
Yes. We recommend using either a hardware MFA device or a virtual MFA on a separate mobile device for the greatest level of account protection.
You cannot create resources in the current version. Please use the feedback link in the Console Mobile Application's menu to tell us what you need.
You can use The Console Mobile Application to generate a pre-signed URL for an S3 object. A pre-signed URL grants time-limited permission to download the object. Read more about pre-signed URLs here.
In order to open a pre-signed URL for an S3 object in your device's browser, use the app to navigate to the S3 object's detail page and tap "View in browser". Your device configuration will determine what actions are possible with the object.
Q: Can I view my current AWS usage charges?
Yes, you can view your current usage charges in the app. Simply visit your Billing Preferences page and select the checkbox to Receive Billing Alerts. In order to view usage charges, your identity must have permission to view CloudWatch.
Q: Does the Console Mobile application support tablets?
The Console Mobile application is optimized for iOS and Android mobile devices with a screen size < 7”, but it works on larger screen sizes as well.
Q: I lost my Mobile Device. What should I do?
We strongly recommend that in addition to using a password or biometric lock on your mobile device, you use an IAM user to manage AWS resources. If you lose your mobile device, you can remove the IAM user's access.
