aws_iam_account_password_policy_settings_hard_expiry

You can prevent IAM users from choosing a new password after their current password has expired. For example, a password policy can specify a password expiration period. If an IAM user fails to choose a new password before the expiration period ends, the IAM user cannot set a new password. In that case, the IAM user must request a password reset from an account administrator in order to regain access to the AWS Management Console. You can also leave this check box cleared. If an IAM user allows his or her password to expire, the user in this scenario is required to set a new password before accessing the AWS Management Console.&#92;n&#92;nRefer to [Setting an account password policy for IAM users](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_passwords_account-policy.html) for more information on account password policies.&#92;n

iam_account_password_policy_settings_max_age

You can set IAM user passwords to be valid for only the specified number of days. You specify the number of days that passwords remain valid after they are set. For example, when you enable password expiration and set the password expiration period to 90 days, an IAM user can use a password for up to 90 days. After 90 days, the password expires and the IAM user must set a new password before accessing the AWS Management Console. You can choose a password expiration period between 1 and 1095 days, inclusive.&#92;n&#92;nRefer to [Setting an account password policy for IAM users](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_passwords_account-policy.html) for more information on account password policies.&#92;n
