Hello fabiano-2,

Please note that the MFA that you usually apply to a root user is different from MFA delete.

The MFA delete is an Amazon S3 feature that you can optionally configure to ensure that objects in your S3 bucket won’t be accidentally deleted. It works by requiring you to provide additional authentication when you’re permanently deleting an object version or changing the versioning state of your bucket.

Here’s a snippet from the AWS documentation:

“The bucket owner, the AWS account that created the bucket (root account), and all authorized IAM users can enable versioning, but only the bucket owner (root account) can enable MFA Delete.”

Regards,

Carlo
