You want to manage access to AWS services and resources securely with fine-grained access control, integration with your corporate directory, and enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA) for highly privileged users. Adding MFA for your AWS IAM and root users is an AWS IAM best practice.
The YubiKey delivers one touch multi-factor authentication (MFA) simplifying the sign-in experience for your AWS accounts.
Using the YubiKey allows you to sign-in to the AWS Management Console securely by adding protection against phishing and other threats.
AWS and YubiKey bridge convenience with the ability to use the same YubiKey for multiple IAM and root users across multiple AWS accounts.

Identity Access Management
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) enables you to manage access to AWS services and resources securely. AWS IAM and root users can use their YubiKey as a multi-factor authentication (MFA) device to add an extra layer of protection on top of their user name and password. YubiKey allows customers to use the same key as the MFA device for multiple IAM and root users across AWS accounts. They can also use their YubiKey with applications that support U2F.
