   Hello @rittneje, thanks for reaching out and bringing this up. We have confirmed that this is a bug and we are working on a fix. We have also found another command that gives the same error: aws secretsmanager get-random-password.

   We recommend using Python 3.13 for now until the fix is applied.

   @rittneje, thanks for the patience. A fix has been merged and I have tried the command:
   aws iam update-account-password-policy --minimum-password-length <X> --require-symbols --password-reuse-prevention <X>
   looks like it seems to work now from CLI v1 version: aws-cli/1.44.32. Please try again and let us know if there are still issues.
