A software app that runs on a phone or other mobile device and emulates a physical device. The device generates a six-digit numeric code based upon a time-synchronized one-time password algorithm.

A type of MFA in which the IAM user settings include the phone number of the user&#8217;s SMS-compatible mobile device. When the user signs in, AWS sends a six-digit numeric code by SMS text message to the user&#8217;s mobile device. The user is required to type that code on a second webpage during sign-in.
