You can get AWS customer support to reset your password if you know the last 4 digits of the credit card used to pay for the account. This is the same info that's printed on any credit card receipt.

If they have your bank account number for whatever reason you can also use last 4 of the bank account number. Your bank account number is not secret by design and most people only have one.

Not only is it not secret, it's printed on every single check for that account.
