Set the AWS console password for IAM user with Terraform

[Arbab Nazar]

I am newbie to the Terraform and just want to ask that is there anyway to set the AWS console password for IAM user with Terraform. I am able to configure the IAM users, group, their access and secret key but couldn't find the way to set the console password. Please point me to where I can get it work. Thanks

This would likely need LoginProfile to be implemented in to a resource.

In the meantime, whilst it's not so nice, you can probably do this using a CloudFormation stack instantiated from within Terraform, since CloudFormation supports the Password parameter, accepting fields as a string.

That said, would you end up storing your users' passphrases inside Terraform? That sits a bit uneasy with me at first glance.
