Hi,

When I set versioning on bucket, I saw an option "MFA Delete". What is the purpose of this feature in s3 versioning.


Thanks.

Hi,

MFA (Multi-Factor-Authentication) Delete has been provided by Amazon s3 to facilitate user additional security to prevent malicious access. While deleting version(s) of s3 objects and if
you have enable Versioning with MFA Delete then Amazon s3 will ask for one more additional authentication, a valid six-digit code from authentication device that has been valid for Amazon
s3, along with your aws credentials. Bucket Explorer helps you to Set Versioning with MFA Delete option to prevent malicious access.
