Creating, Changing, or Deleting a Password for an IAM User

IAM users who access your AWS resources from the AWS Management Console must have a password in order to sign in. This topic explains how to create, change, or delete a password for a user under your AWS account. To complete these tasks, you can use the AWS Management Console, the IAM API, or the command line interface.

After you have created passwords for your users, you can grant them permission to change their own passwords. For more information, see Granting IAM Users Permission to Change Their Own Password. For information about how users access your account sign-in page, see IAM and the AWS Management Console.
