How to Set up Yubikey for AWS-Vault

Tired of using a password for aws-vault? Want to use that lovely touch pad on your Yubikey? Here is how! (Shamelessly borrowed from this comment by Frederico Araujo). Note, this is not the same as configuring your terminal to use a Yubikey setup to be used as TOTP for AWS-instead of an app!

NOTE: These steps are for use on macOS and should be similar for Linux

Remove existing credential from AWS Vault Run only if you already have it setup before:

aws-vault remove myprofile

Save the usernames and passwords for systems you may need when you are no longer an employee, such as
- Employee Express
- Benefeds (dental and vision insurance)
- The website for your medical insurance
- FSAFEDS
- TSP
Log into Employee Express
- Write down your login information for employee express. You can't get this back after you leave GSA.
Switch your W2s to Mail instead of Electronic

Exporting your 2FA tokens from Authy to transfer them into another 2FA application

IMPORTANT - Update regarding deprecation of Authy desktop apps

Past August 2024, Authy stopped supported the desktop version of their apps:
See Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August for details.

And indeed, after a while, Authy changed something in their backend which now prevents the old desktop app from logging in. If you are already logged in, then you are in luck, and you can follow the instructions below to export to tokens.

If you are not logged in anymore, but can find a backup of the necessary files, then restore those files, and re-install Authy 2.2.3 following the instructions below, and it should work as expected.
