Managing Passwords

Topics

To access your AWS account resources from the AWS Management Console, an IAM user must have a password (formerly referred to as a login profile). This topic explains how to create, change, and delete a user's password. It also shows how to change the AWS account password, how you can enable users to change their own passwords, and how to set the password policy for users of your AWS account.

Note

Users who access your services only through the API or command line interface do not need a password.

For information about how users access your account sign-in page, see IAM and the AWS Management Console.
