| Recommended Action | Update the password policy to require the use of uppercase 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.
- On the "Set password policy" page scroll down and check the "Require at least one uppercase letter from Latin alphabet (A-Z)". If the checkbox is not selected than the password policy does not enforces the use of uppercase letters in password.
- Click on the checkbox next to "Require at least one uppercase letter from Latin alphabet (A-Z)" so "Password Policy" requires at least one uppercase 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 uppercase letters.
