What this check finds
The user has not used their password login for over 45 days (CIS v5.0 §1.11). The password login should be removed from this user, or the user entirely.
Passing looks like: No stale IAM user logins.
How to fix it
Remove console access from inactive users.
AWS CLI
aws iam delete-login-profile --user-name USERNAMEIf the user also has no active access keys, consider deleting the user entirely:
aws iam delete-user --user-name USERNAME

Checked on every scan
KloudLytics runs this check each time it scans a connected AWS account, through a read-only role, and lists every affected resource with its region. On Pro and Business a fix is written for the specific resource rather than the general case above. The exact access it needs
