AWS Sign-In Root Password Recovery Requested

Identifies a password recovery request for the AWS account root user. In AWS, the PasswordRecoveryRequested event from signin.amazonaws.com applies to the root user’s “Forgot your password?” flow. Other identity types, like IAM and federated users, do not generate this event. This alert indicates that someone initiated the root password reset workflow for this account. Verify whether this was an expected action and review identity provider notifications/email to confirm legitimacy.
