Request Syntax

login_profile = login_profile.create(
    Password='string',
    PasswordResetRequired=True|False
)
Parameters
  • Password (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The new password for the user.

    The regex pattern that is used to validate this parameter is a string of characters. That string can include almost any printable ASCII character from the space ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range ( \u00FF ). You can also include the tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D ) characters. Any of these characters are valid in a password. However, many tools, such as the Amazon Web Services Management Console, might restrict the ability to type certain characters because they have special meaning within that tool.

  • PasswordResetRequired (boolean) -- Specifies whether the user is required to set a new password on next sign-in.
