4. Under the "Password Policy" configuration panel scroll down and check the "Require at least one non-alphanumeric character".

5. Repeat steps number 3 and 4 to ensures password policy requires symbols.</br>
6. Click on the checkbox next to "Require at least one non-alphanumeric character" so "Password Policy" requires at least one symbol to make the password more strong and secure. </br> <img src="/resources/aws/iam/password-requires-symbols/step6.png"/>

4. Under the "Password Policy" configuration panel scroll down and click on "Change password policy" button.</br><img src="/resources/aws/iam/password-requires-symbols/step4.png"/>
5. Under the "Password Policy" configuration panel scroll down and check the "Require at least one non-alphanumeric character (! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + - = [ ] { } | ')". If the checkbox is not selected, then the password policy does not enforce the use of symbols in password.</br><img src="/resources/aws/iam/password-requires-symbols/step5.png"/>
6. Click on the checkbox next to "Require at least one non-alphanumeric character (! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + - = [ ] { } | ')" so "Password Policy" requires at least one symbol to make the password more strong and secure. </br> <img src="/resources/aws/iam/password-requires-symbols/step6.png"/>
7. Click on the "Save changes" button to make the necessary changes.</br><img src="/resources/aws/iam/password-requires-symbols/step7.png"/>
