Open the AWS console

Freeleapp opens the AWS Management Console for a session in your default browser, already signed in to the right account, role and region. No password, no role switching.

Available for IAM Role Federated, IAM Identity Center and IAM Role Chained sessions.

  • Right-click the session and choose Open Web Console, or
  • select the session and click the web console icon in the bottom bar, or
  • ⌘-click the session.

The console session lasts as long as the Default Web Console Duration in Settings (1 to 12 hours).

The AWS console can keep up to five identities signed in at the same time in one browser, each in its own tab. Turn it on once per browser: in the console, open the account menu (top right) and choose Turn on multi-session, or enable it from console.aws.amazon.com. After that, every console you open from Freeleapp stays signed in next to the others.

Without multi-session, opening a new console replaces the one already open in that browser. See Signing in to multiple accounts in the AWS documentation.
