update-login-profile¶

Description¶

Changes the password for the specified IAM user.

IAM users can change their own passwords by calling ChangePassword . For more information about modifying passwords, see Managing Passwords in the IAM User Guide .

Synopsis¶

  update-login-profile
--user-name <value>
[--password <value>]
[--password-reset-required | --no-password-reset-required]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--cli-auto-prompt <value>]

Options¶

--user-name (string)

The name of the user whose password you want to update.

This parameter allows (through its regex pattern ) a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: _+=,.@-

--password (string)

The new password for the specified IAM user.

The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character (\u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range

The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )

The special characters tab (\u0009 ), line feed (\u000A ), and carriage return (\u000D )

However, the format can be further restricted by the account administrator by setting a password policy on the AWS account. For more information, see UpdateAccountPasswordPolicy .

--password-reset-required | --no-password-reset-required (boolean)

Allows this new password to be used only once by requiring the specified IAM user to set a new password on next sign-in.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean) Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

To update the password for an IAM user

The following update-login-profile command creates a new password for the IAM user named Bob:

aws iam update-login-profile --user-name Bob --password <password>

To set a password policy for the account, use the update-account-password-policy command. If the new password violates the account password policy, the command returns a PasswordPolicyViolation error.

If the account password policy allows them to, IAM users can change their own passwords using the change-password command.

Store the password in a secure place. If the password is lost, it cannot be recovered, and you must create a new one using the create-login-profile command.

For more information, see Managing Passwords in the Using IAM guide.
