If you set up an Amazon Macie job and choose to use all managed data identifiers, and then you set it to run on a schedule, will it start including more and more managed data identifiers if and when more get added by AWS?lg...

It looks like passwords are not [one of the managed identifiers](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/macie/latest/user/managed-data-identifiers.html). Is there a recommendation for how to create a custom identifier that has a good balance of false positives and false negatives? I see an SO answer with many RegEx examples for passwords: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21456918 I guess this could be combined with Macie's custom identifiers capability of only showing results that have a certain word within a certain proximity. Just trying to see what has given other people success?lg...

So I have started using the Macie service to do some data classification for a project I am building. I originally tried it with some JSON data that was put into a text file that contained US SSN numbers. I ran the Macie service to have it try and find this data and the scan did not return any findings. Next I figured that I would try the Macie scan on a an excel file with three columns. The first column had 5 first names, the second column had 5 last names, and the third column had 5 SSN numbers. Nothing else was in the excel file. I ran the Macie scan again and it still failed to find any sensitive data. I tried using the all managed identifiers scan and just the individual SSN scan and neither of them returned any findings. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong and why Macie cant find simple SSN numbers? I am happy to provide more context as well as share the files if it will be helpful (all the SSNs are fake numbers for testing).lg...
