AWS SSO Login for VS Code
Builder · 2026
TypeScript · VS Code API · AWS CLI
A quality-of-life tool: logging in to AWS SSO normally means dropping to a terminal, remembering the right profile name, and re-running the login dance every time credentials expire. This extension moves that into VS Code.
It detects AWS SSO profiles from the existing AWS CLI configuration, so there is nothing new to configure: pick a profile, log in, and the extension updates the AWS credentials file with temporary credentials and shows when they expire.
Small by design. It does one annoying thing well, and I use it every working day.
