aws cli: invalid security token on my local windows - amazon-web-services

Question

I try to connect by aws cli from my laptop which has windows. I create access key and secret key by IAM on root use several times and use aws configure to set them, but I still get invalid token error. I know that my credential is set because when I run aws configure it shows up. The below is the log. Thanks for help.
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> aws configure
AWS Access Key ID [****************PAPA]:
AWS Secret Access Key [****************vXOi]:
Default region name [us-east-1]:
Default output format [json]:

Answer 1

There are a number of ways that you can provide credentials to the awscli, and they are evaluated in the following order:
command line options
environment variables
awscli credentials file
awscli config file
container credentials
instance profile credentials
By running aws configure you have configured a set of credentials for option #3.
However, in the debug output that you shared with us, you can see:
INFO - Found credentials in environment variables.
This suggests that the awscli found credentials in your environment (via environment variables AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, and possibly AWS_SESSION_TOKEN). This is option #2 above, which trumps option #3. This also explains why the error you are seeing is "The security token included in the request is invalid."
So, your configured credentials are being overridden by environment credentials. Remove the credentials from your environment, and then re-run the awscli.
