# Use `GetAccountPasswordPolicy` with an AWS SDK or CLI
<a name="iam_example_iam_GetAccountPasswordPolicy_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to use `GetAccountPasswordPolicy`.

------
#### [ .NET ]

**SDK for .NET**  
 There's more on GitHub. Find the complete example and learn how to set up and run in the [AWS Code Examples Repository](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/dotnetv3/IAM#code-examples). 

```
    /// <summary>
    /// Gets the IAM password policy for an AWS account.
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns>The PasswordPolicy for the AWS account.</returns>
    public async Task<PasswordPolicy> GetAccountPasswordPolicyAsync()
    {
        var response = await _IAMService.GetAccountPasswordPolicyAsync(new GetAccountPasswordPolicyRequest());
        return response.PasswordPolicy;
    }
```
+  For API details, see [GetAccountPasswordPolicy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/goto/DotNetSDKV3/iam-2010-05-08/GetAccountPasswordPolicy) in *AWS SDK for .NET API Reference*. 

------
#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To see the current account password policy**  
The following `get-account-password-policy` command displays details about the password policy for the current account.  

```
aws iam get-account-password-policy
```
Output:  

```
{
    "PasswordPolicy": {
        "AllowUsersToChangePassword": false,
        "RequireLowercaseCharacters": false,
        "RequireUppercaseCharacters": false,
        "MinimumPasswordLength": 8,
        "RequireNumbers": true,
        "RequireSymbols": true
    }
}
```
If no password policy is defined for the account, the command returns a `NoSuchEntity` error.  
For more information, see [Setting an account password policy for IAM users](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_passwords_account-policy.html) in the *AWS IAM User Guide*.
