AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)

How to create a username and password for the AWS Management Console

Recently, the AWS IAM Team announced support for Login Profiles - an easy and convenient way to create username/password pairs that can be used to sign in to the AWS Management Console and AWS Developer Forums.

With CS Browser Freeware, you can easily create and edit Login Profiles.

To create a new username and password for the AWS Management Console:

1. Click Tools > Access Manager (IAM).

   

   The Access Manager (IAM) dialog will open:

   

2. Right-click the user and choose AWS Login Profile > Set new password...

   

   The AWS Login Profile dialog will open:

   

3. Enter a new password and click Save changes.

   Users who use the AWS Management Console must sign in to your AWS account through the IAM-enabled sign-in page.

   The IAM-enabled sign-in page URL has the following format:

   https://<Your_AWS_Account_ID>.signin.aws.amazon.com/console/s3

   CS Browser generates this link automatically. You can send the link and the username/password to the user.

To delete a Login Profile:

1. Right-click the user and choose AWS Login Profile > Delete profile.

   

2. Confirm the Login Profile deletion.
