Properties

NameTypeDescription
Public Property NewPassword System.String

Gets and sets the property NewPassword.

The new password. The new password must conform to the Amazon Web Services account's password policy, if one exists.

The regex pattern that is used to validate this parameter is a string of characters. That string can include almost any printable ASCII character from the space (\u0020) through the end of the ASCII character range (\u00FF). You can also include the tab (\u0009), line feed (\u000A), and carriage return (\u000D) characters. Any of these characters are valid in a password. However, many tools, such as the Amazon Web Services Management Console, might restrict the ability to type certain characters because they have special meaning within that tool.

Public Property OldPassword System.String

Gets and sets the property OldPassword.

The IAM user's current password.

Examples

The following command changes the password for the current IAM user.

To change the password for your IAM user


var client = new AmazonIdentityManagementServiceClient();
var response = client.ChangePassword(new ChangePasswordRequest 
{
    NewPassword = "]35d/{pB9Fo9wJ",
    OldPassword = "3s0K_;xh4~8XXI"
});
