Description
IAM password policies can require passwords to be rotated or expired after a given number of days. Reducing the password lifetime increases account resiliency against brute force login attempts.
How to fix?
Set the aws_iam_account_password_policy max_password_age field to 90 or less.
Example Configuration
resource "aws_iam_account_password_policy" "example" {
max_password_age = 30
# other required fields here
}
