AWS marketplace: Update sign-in destination to AWS Partner Central in registration process
Summary
The seller registration page now advises signing in to AWS Partner Central (instead of the AWS Marketplace Management Portal) with IAM roles rather than root account credentials.
Security assessment
A pure terminology rename of the console name; the IAM-role-over-root guidance is unchanged in substance, so this is a low-impact editorial change with security-adjacent wording rather than a fix or new control.
Evidence
To register as a seller in AWS Marketplace, you can use an existing AWS account or create a new account. All AWS Marketplace interactions are tied to the account that you choose. AWS Marketplace strongly recommends using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles to sign in to AWS Partner Central rather than using your root account credentials.
