A
Apply Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
B
Set up a secondary password
C
Request root access privileges
D
Disable AWS console access
Explanation:
AWS Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security best practice that adds an extra layer of protection on top of your username and password. MFA requires users to provide two or more verification factors to gain access, making it much more difficult for unauthorized users to access the AWS Management Console even if they have stolen credentials. The other options are not effective security measures:
-
Setting up a secondary password doesn't provide the same level of security as MFA
-
Requesting root access privileges actually increases security risks rather than reducing them
-
Disabling AWS console access is not a practical solution as it would prevent legitimate users from accessing the console
MFA is specifically recommended by AWS as a fundamental security control for protecting console access.
