The config section in the YAML file allows you to set global tool configurations:
copy_to_clipboard: When set totrue, the tool will automatically copy generated passwords to the clipboard. Default istrue.aws_ignore_configured_endpoints: When set totrue, the tool will ignore any pre-configured AWS endpoints. This can be useful in certain network environments. Default istrue.
On Windows systems, aws-cred-mgr securely stores your Okta credentials using the Data Protection API (DPAPI).
This ensures that your sensitive information is encrypted and can only be accessed by your user account on your computer.
On macOs systems, aws-cred-mgr securely stores your Okta credentials using the native Keychain API.
Linux support is still under development
