Recommended Action | Update the password policy to require the use of lowercase letters |
- Log in to the AWS Management Console.
- Select the "Services" option and search for IAM.
- Scroll down the left navigation panel and choose "Account Settings" under "Access management".
- Under the "Password Policy" configuration panel scroll down and click on "Change password policy" button.
- Under the "Password Policy" configuration panel scroll down and check the "Require at least one lowercase letter from Latin alphabet (a-z)". If the checkbox is not selected than the password policy does not require at least one lowercase letter.
- Click on the checkbox next to "Require at least one lowercase letter from Latin alphabet (a-z)" so "Password Policy" requires at least one lowercase letter to make the password more strong and secure.
- Click on the "Save changes" button to make the necessary changes.
- Now "Password Policy" ensures that the password requires at least one lowercase letter.
