<p><span class="LinkEnhancement"><a class="Link" href="https://aws.amazon.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cms-ai="0">Amazon Web Services (AWS) </a></span>is gradually introducing updates to the AWS Sign-In and sign-up experience to a limited number of customers. We’re sharing these changes so you will know what to expect as we gradually make the updated experience available to more customers. These updates include new options for creating and accessing AWS accounts. To support these options and provide a more consistent experience, we’ve redesigned the AWS sign-in page and refreshed the session selection page. While some screens and interactions have changed, existing customers will continue using the same sign-in methods and credentials they use today. If you see a sign-in page that looks different from what you’re used to, this is an expected change.</p>
<p>In this post, we walk through what’s new with screenshots so you’ll know what to expect. If your organization relies on the current sign-in interface for browser automation or scripted workflows, review these updates to understand how they might affect your configuration.</p>

<p>The AWS Sign-In page is getting a new look. Figure 1 shows the current sign-in page, where you choose between <b>Root user</b> and <b>IAM user</b> before entering your sign-in information.</p>

<p>The redesigned sign-in page, shown in Figure 2, introduces a unified email entry point for signing in to AWS. <span class="LinkEnhancement"><a class="Link" href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_root-user.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cms-ai="0">Root users</a></span> and customers using the new email-based sign-in method for AWS accounts created with the updated sign-up experience enter their email address and choose <b>Continue</b>. AWS automatically determines the appropriate sign-in flow based on the email address provided.</p>

Enter your account ID or alias, <span class="LinkEnhancement"><a class="Link" href="https://aws.amazon.com/iam" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cms-ai="0">AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)</a></span> username, and password to sign in.</p>

<p>The redesigned page also includes sign-in options for customers whose AWS account was created using a supported identity provider, such as Google, GitHub, Apple, or an <span class="LinkEnhancement"><a class="Link" href="http://Amazon.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cms-ai="0">Amazon.com</a></span> account. If you’re an existing AWS customer, continue using the same credentials you use today, and AWS will guide you through the appropriate sign-in experience. Sign-in with a supported identity provider is available only for AWS accounts that were created using that identity provider.</p>
