Here's a simple boto3 script 📜 to reset AWS IAM user passwords that I wrote. It's integrated with a password generator tool to match the strict AWS password policy enforced in my environment. It also includes an optional argument to list all current users allowing you to capture the username you need to reset which can help eliminate some back-and-forth Q&A with the requester.
Pain points I was looking to address with this one:
✅ No more logging into the AWS console UI
✅ No more crafting the "aws iam update-login-profile …" command
✅ No more manually generating passwords to match the strict password policy enforced
