To update the password for an IAM user
The following
update-login-profile
command creates a new password for the IAM user namedBob
.aws iam update-login-profile \ --user-name Bob \ --password <password>
This command produces no output.
To set a password policy for the account, use the
update-account-password-policy
command. If the new password violates the account password policy, the command returns aPasswordPolicyViolation
error.If the account password policy allows them to, IAM users can change their own passwords using the
change-password
command.Store the password in a secure place. If the password is lost, it cannot be recovered, and you must create a new one using the
create-login-profile
command.For more information, see Managing passwords for IAM users in the AWS IAM User Guide.
