I have created an IAM user account. Now I want to connect with this user to the AWS console.

AWS says:

For Users who need access to the AWS Management Console, create a password in the Users panel after completing this wizard.

I have created one password for the IAM user.

Trying to log in to the AWS Console using the new user name and the password does not work.

What do I have to do?

If you do not have the AWS Alias Configured then you would use

https://Your_AWS_Account_ID.signin.aws.amazon.com/console/

if an alias is configure then

https://Your_Alias.signin.aws.amazon.com/console/

Apparently the URL for the AWS IAM Login is quite hard to remember. I have created this site to navigate to the respective IAM Console's Login page by just remembering the alias or the account number.
