IAM – Password Policy

• Strong passwords = higher security for your account

• In AWS, you can set a password policy:

• Set a minimum password length

• Require specific character types:

  • including uppercase letters

  • lowercase letters

  • numbers

  • non-alphanumeric characters

• Allow all IAM users to change their passwords

• Require users to change their password after some time (password expiration)

• Prevent password re-use
