Use GetAccountPasswordPolicy with an Amazon SDK or CLI

    /// <summary>
    /// Gets the IAM password policy for an AWS account.
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns>The PasswordPolicy for the AWS account.</returns>
    public async Task<PasswordPolicy> GetAccountPasswordPolicyAsync()
    {
        var response = await _IAMService.GetAccountPasswordPolicyAsync(new GetAccountPasswordPolicyRequest());
        return response.PasswordPolicy;
    }

To see the current account password policy

The following get-account-password-policy command displays details about the password policy for the current account.

aws iam get-account-password-policy

Output:

{
    "PasswordPolicy": {
        "AllowUsersToChangePassword": false,
        "RequireLowercaseCharacters": false,
        "RequireUppercaseCharacters": false,
        "MinimumPasswordLength": 8,
        "RequireNumbers": true,
        "RequireSymbols": true
    }
}

If no password policy is defined for the account, the command returns a NoSuchEntity error.

For more information, see Setting an account password policy for IAM users in the Amazon IAM User Guide.

// AccountWrapper encapsulates AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) account actions
// used in the examples.
// It contains an IAM service client that is used to perform account actions.
type AccountWrapper struct {
	IamClient *iam.Client
}



// GetAccountPasswordPolicy gets the account password policy for the current account.
// If no policy has been set, a NoSuchEntityException is error is returned.
func (wrapper AccountWrapper) GetAccountPasswordPolicy() (*types.PasswordPolicy, error) {
	var pwPolicy *types.PasswordPolicy
	result, err := wrapper.IamClient.GetAccountPasswordPolicy(context.TODO(),
		&iam.GetAccountPasswordPolicyInput{})
	if err != nil {
		log.Printf("Couldn't get account password policy. Here's why: %v\n", err)
	} else {
		pwPolicy = result.PasswordPolicy
	}
	return pwPolicy, err
}

Get the account password policy.

import {
  GetAccountPasswordPolicyCommand,
  IAMClient,
} from "@aws-sdk/client-iam";

const client = new IAMClient({});

export const getAccountPasswordPolicy = async () => {
  const command = new GetAccountPasswordPolicyCommand({});

  const response = await client.send(command);
  console.log(response.PasswordPolicy);
  return response;
};

$uuid = uniqid();
$service = new IAMService();

    public function getAccountPasswordPolicy()
    {
        return $this->iamClient->getAccountPasswordPolicy();
    }

Example 1: This example returns details about the password policy for the current account. If no password policy is defined for the account, the command returns a NoSuchEntity error.
