Script or software that automatically populate specific profile in ~/.aws/credentials
I think https://github.com/theorlandog/mfa-aws will help. I only use it for MFA, but it also has assume-role functionality.

Getting AWS CLI credentials through Okta SSO?
I got gimme-aws-creds (https://github.com/Nike-Inc/gimme-aws-creds) to authenticate via Okta - but no AWS roles are found in the SAML response. It works fine through the AWS console.
- How do you get CLI credentials for a federated role?

Securing AWS API credentials and access to AWS API
AWS has always lagged behind is offering reasonable native authentication options to its console and CLI. In order to support something like "yubikey" you need to go with another authentication and authorization provider such as Okta which provides support for a wide variety of MFA options. Then you can also use open source tooling such as https://github.com/Nike-Inc/gimme-aws-creds to grab temporary credentials. Okta is the one I'm most familiar but there are others out there as well.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing mfa-aws and gimme-aws-creds you can also consider the following projects:
aws-mfa - Manage AWS MFA Security Credentials
saml2aws - CLI tool which enables you to login and retrieve AWS temporary credentials using a SAML IDP
sceptre - Build better AWS infrastructure
aws-runas - aws-runas rewritten in Go
awsume - A utility for easily assuming AWS IAM roles from the command line.
okta-aws-cli-assume-role - Okta AWS CLI Assume Role Tool
terraform-provider-aws - The AWS Provider enables Terraform to manage AWS resources.
