AWS IAM documentation change

Service: IAM · 2026-04-19 · Documentation low

File: IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_passwords_enable-user-change.md

Summary

Changed API description from 'To create an alias for your AWS Management Console sign-in page URL' to 'To update the account password policy'

Security assessment

Corrects documentation to accurately describe the API operation for updating account password policies, which is a security feature. This improves accuracy of security documentation but doesn't address a specific vulnerability.
