aws-vault: error: login: profile scott: operation error IAM: GetUser, failed to resolve service endpoint, an AWS region is required, but was not found

I am trying to set up the AWS vault for my credentials but it is not letting me type the secret passphrase. I have seen posts saying to type it in and assume it is invisible but when I try to test it by loading a login page it gives me the above error.. Please any help is crazy appreciated.

I am using Linux Ubuntu if that does anything.

• I am using the latest release of AWS Vault

set the region in your .aws/config
