Usage

iam_change_password(OldPassword, NewPassword)

NewPassword

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 (U+0020) through the end of the ASCII character range (U+00FF). You can also include the tab (U+0009), line feed (U+000A), and carriage return (U+000D) 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.
