I think you're not grokking it.

Require FIDO2-based MFA to log into AWS via Identity Center, then run aws sso login to generate temporary credentials which will be granted only if the user can pass the FIDO2 challenge.

The literal API calls aren't requesting a FIDO2 challenge each time, just like the console doesn't require it for every action. It's session based.

I definitely wasn’t grokking that, because the prior commenter never mentioned AWS Identity Center, and instead linked to STS, which works how I described (you can’t use FIDO MFA for the authentication of the call that gives you your short-lived session creds).

I’m excited to see that Identity Center supports FIDO2 for this use case.

You weren't grokking it because I was hasty (and tired) and provided the wrong link. My bad!
