Problem It took me over 30 minutes of opening vairous vaults as well as my card details to verify my aws credntials.. If for security reasons or app compatibility challenges, our routine amazon account Is not applicab;le for logging into aws ,can our github password suffice instead?
Expected behavior
iclude option to log into aws online and on vs using github passwprd
This concept is sometimes called "federated login" or "social login". It's not supported yet.
Thank you @justinmk3. I love in the UK, which although the option exists, does not require we use federated logins...I think this is way above me but does this mean in the future, not just with aws but other login processes, we would need to provide social login(s)? I hope my question makes sense?

No :) I only wanted to provide some keywords for future reference. If federated or "social" login is supported in the future, it would just be another possible way to make it easier to use, for example, your github account to authenticate to your AWS account (which is how I interpreted your request).
If that feature is added, it would be part of the AWS cloud service, not AWS Toolkit.
