- 15. My first Etsy communication Hello X, Looks like you still do not have MFA set up on your AWS account. Go ahead and go to Identity & Access Management in your Amazon Web Services console -> find your username -> Manage MFA Device. Note: If you no longer need your AWS account, please let me know! Devina
- 16. Version 2.0 Hello X, Looks like you still do not have MFA set up on your AWS account. It looks like you used your AWS account recently as well, so please sign up for MFA by 03/31/16 or your account will be suspended. Go ahead and go to Identity & Access Management in your Amazon Web Services console -> find your username -> Manage MFA Device. Note: If you no longer need your AWS account, please let me know! Your neighborhood candy provider, Devina
