DeleteLoginProfile

Deletes the password for the specified IAM user, For more information, see Managing passwords for IAM users.

You can use the AWS CLI, the AWS API, or the Users page in the IAM console to delete a password for any IAM user. You can use ChangePassword to update, but not delete, your own password in the My Security Credentials page in the AWS Management Console.

Important

Deleting a user's password does not prevent a user from accessing AWS through the command line interface or the API. To prevent all user access, you must also either make any access keys inactive or delete them. For more information about making keys inactive or deleting them, see UpdateAccessKey and DeleteAccessKey.
