**To enable an MFA device**
After you use the ``create-virtual-mfa-device`` command to create a new virtual MFA device, you can assign the MFA device to a user. The following ``enable-mfa-device`` example assigns the MFA device with the serial number ``arn:aws:iam::210987654321:mfa/BobsMFADevice`` to the user ``Bob``. The command also synchronizes the device with AWS by including the first two codes in sequence from the virtual MFA device. ::
aws iam enable-mfa-device \
--user-name Bob \
--serial-number arn:aws:iam::210987654321:mfa/BobsMFADevice \
--authentication-code1 123456 \
--authentication-code2 789012
This command produces no output.
