Aws-vault: Constantly have to re-enter keychain password

Created on 12 Jan 2018 · 7Comments · Source: 99designs/aws-vault

OS: OS X 10.12.6
Using iTerm2

I use aws-vault exec <profile> -- comand goes here extensively. However, I have to enter the keychain password (sometimes twice), although I press "Always allow" every time I enter the password, and on every command I run.

Is there a way to be able to enter the keychain password only once every "configurable amount of time"?

This is still happening quite often - I get the "Allow Always" dialog for about 75% of my aws-vault exec commands.

aws-vault --version
v4.2.0

After -- press enter
Then you are in a subshell that will last about an hour if no mfa
You can change the ttl up to eight hours.

We fixed some issues related to this recently. We'll get out a new release shortly.

Try https://github.com/99designs/aws-vault/releases/tag/v4.2.0 @jkugler (thanks for the quick response @mtibben)

Thank you. I'll try to give it a try tomorrow. I install it via brew, so will have to fiddle some to clear out that version and install it manually.

We'll land it in brew next!

I'm still seeing this problem as well. OSX 11 El Capitan (yes I know I need to upgrade). Installed 4.2.0 via brew.
