Target customers: all users of Alibaba Cloud's Resource Access Management (RAM) service, particularly organizations and individuals committed to maintaining the highest standards of account security. New feature/specification: The system actively protects your accounts in three key use cases: 1. At logon: If a RAM user attempts to log on with a password that is known to be compromised, they will be required to reset it immediately before they can access the account. 2. During password changes:When a RAM user sets or changes their password via the console, the system will automatically reject any password found in the compromised database, forcing the selection of a secure, unique password. 3. Configurable API protection: RAM administrators have the flexibility to enable or disable this password check for changes made via API calls. This allows them to balance strict security policies with the needs of automated workflows.
