Securing the AWS CLI
If you have an external identity provider, you can add a SAML provider in IAM and use saml2aws locally. The session duration can be configured on the role.

don't want to store access key and secret key in plain text in the .aws/credentials file or variables
Or if you have an existing IdP you can use https://github.com/Versent/saml2aws and https://github.com/makethunder/awsudo. By setting up a central account that you put in your trust policy which users can assume roles.

Show HN: Authenticate into AWS right from your terminal window
In my company everything goes through Active Directory and we use saml2aws [1] to generate credentials with two factor involved. It works quite well for us. We even use this for our artists to create local builds of our games since we keep all important secrets and such in aws secrets mananger. We scope access to said secrets with custom roles and tags.

Getting CLI credentials for an AWS account that is not under your AWS SSO organization
Technically I guess it should be possible with something like saml2aws, but it doesn't support AWS as an IdP yet.

session manager vs plain old ssh
I use aws-runas, the 3.x versions have builtin support for using session manager with shell and port forwarding.

Forcing users to authenticate with MFA
I can't comment on your particular MFA policy issue, but you could consider adding aws-runas to your workflow. Although mostly written for assuming roles, I have used it with session tokens with much success. The logic to assume roles using MFA actually calls the get-session-token API under the covers so the session token credentials indicating MFA was used are leveraged to get the role credentials.

Problems using a profile with assumed role
Have you considered a tool like aws-runas? It makes these sort of interactions much easier, and in the coming major release it will support all of the different Assume Role mechanics (IAM, SAML, and Web Identity). It currently handles IAM and SAML.
