AWS IAM documentation change
Summary
Fixed a grammatical error in a sentence about MFA policies (changed 'policies that requires' to 'policies that require').
Security assessment
This change corrects subject-verb agreement in a sentence describing MFA policies. The content is about security best practices (MFA), but the change itself is a grammatical fix and does not add new security documentation or address a specific vulnerability.

MFA is an additional security layer that requires users to provide additional authentication factors after providing their username and password to verify their identity. It significantly enhances security by making it much harder for attackers to gain unauthorized access, even if a user's password is compromised. MFA is widely adopted as a best practice for securing access to online accounts, cloud services, and other sensitive resources. AWS supports MFA for root user, IAM users, users in IAM Identity Center, Builder ID, and federated users. For additional security, you can create policies that requires MFA be configured before allowing a user to access resources or take specific actions and attach these policies to your IAM roles. IAM Identity Center comes preconfigured with MFA turned on by default so that all users in IAM Identity Center must sign in with MFA in addition to their user name and password. +Using multi-factor authentication (MFA) with your identities is another IAM best practice.
