Please reauthenticate using 'aws login'." / missing 'signin:CreateOAuth2Token… ## Body Cause (Documented platform behavior): Login session refresh token expired / user password or credentials changed, or the principal lacks signin:CreateOAuth2Token. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Derived from source; not reproduced. - Older SDKs predating the provider won't recognize these profiles at all. Other error fragments: - Unable to create or refresh login credentials due to insufficient permissions. You may be missing permission for the 'signin:CreateOAuth2Token' action.
