We have already created an AWS Account and initialized the Amplify CLI and now we have moved to a new laptop and need to configure the AWS Amplify CLI using our existing aws credentials.

Approach

First install the CLI again on the new laptop. Then configure Amplify:

amplify configure

Select the region and enter your existing amplify IAM user. For example:

region: US East 1
user name (For IAM User): amplifyuser

The IAM Dashboard will now open up.

Just cancel out of it and continue with the seutp process using you existing credentials (access key and secret access key).
