Description
An enterprise's password policy should require a password length of at least 7 characters. Setting a password complexity policy increases account resiliency against brute force login attempts.
How to fix?
Set the aws_iam_account_password_policy minimum_password_length field to 7 and set all fields require_numbers, require_lowercase_characters, and require_uppercase_characters to true.
Example Configuration
resource "aws_iam_account_password_policy" "example" {
minimum_password_length = 7
require_numbers = true
require_lowercase_characters = true
require_uppercase_characters = true
# other required fields here
}
