Description
IAM password policies can prevent the reuse of the previous four passwords. Preventing password reuse increases account resiliency against brute force login attempts.
How to fix?
Set the aws_iam_account_password_policy password_reuse_prevention field to 4 to ensure the previous 4 passwords cannot be reused.
Example Configuration
resource "aws_iam_account_password_policy" "example" {
password_reuse_prevention = 4
# other required fields here
}
