IAM Password Policy

In order to protect your users from being attacked you should define your organization password policy

  • Strong passwords = higher security for your account
  • In AWS, you can setup 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 own passwords
    • Require users to change their password after some time (password expiration)
    • Prevent password re-use
