# Account Alias

Account Alias in AWS IAM is a user-friendly name that you can assign to your AWS account. Instead of using the default account ID, which is a numeric string, the alias provides a simpler way to reference your account, especially in sign-in URLs. This makes it easier for users to remember and access the account securely.

```
aws.iam_account
```
