Solution 1:^[1]

use the following aws cli command from the console or CloudShell:

aws sts decode-authorization-message --encoded-message KDmmJmkLKm...iUtfAa

I use the following command:

aws sts decode-authorization-message --encoded-message 'KDmmJmkLKm...iUtfAa' | sed 's/\\"/"/g' | sed 's/^"//' | sed 's/"$//'
