amplify init

just returns 🛑 Failed to get profile credentials

This needs to be better documented within the tutorial/guide.

Transferring to CLI repo, as this seems to be a CLI issue

Hey @qwikag 👋 would you mind porting this over to our bug template? This will help us gather additional context around the issue you are experiencing to help effectively diagnose.

Hey @josefaidt ,
The problem is not the CLI Auth, the problem is the document does not advise how to use the CLI Auth Properly.
So yes it is a combination of the 2, yes CLI AUth is overly complex and not straight forward
There are multiple ways to do it to get a success.
But once it fails a person easily goes looking for the many solutions and then ends up mixing up the solutions create a complex mess of attributes,
So primarily this is a documentation issue, that needs its own place in the prerequisites or the like.
For the noob that is a nightmare. On my third time creating a project I still ran into hours of issues.

Hey @qwikag apologies for the delay here, and sorry to hear of the rough experience. While the CLI continues to improve its auth flow I will be sure to update the relevant documentation. Please note the known bug with AWS IAM Identity Center/SSO, which I believe we chatted about in another issue. I'll close this in favor of tracking the existing item #4488
