Request Syntax

response = client.update_login_profile(
    UserName='string',
    Password='string',
    PasswordResetRequired=True|False
)
Parameters
  • UserName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    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 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 Amazon Web Services account. For more information, see UpdateAccountPasswordPolicy.
