npm install aws-auth-helperThis small application assists with retrieving temporary AWS environment variables
from credentials that require 2-factor authentication and assuming an AWS IAM role.
This can be used for requiring a 2-factor authentication code to be entered
before applications like Serverless and
Apex deploy your Lambda applications.
The temporary credentials are sent to stdout and can be evaled to use them
as environment variables in Bash commands.
``As part of your Node project
npm install aws-auth-helper --save
serverless deploy\""
