Question

I successfully authenticate with 2 factor but when using aws s3 ls I keep getting

An error occurred (InvalidToken) when calling the ListBuck

Answer 1

Run aws configure

1. You may leave access key and access key id blank if you have an IAM role attached

2. Set value for 'region'

Now you will be able to successfully run 'aws s3 ls'

Else run 'aws s3 ls --region '
