Description

The AccessKey resource does not allow to set the description.
This is the current AccessKey documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-iam-accesskey.html

You can add it using the UI:

Descriptions are a console only thing, and are saved as tags on the IAM user

Which is difficult for CloudFormation (and similar tools), because you get a circular dependency that way.

This could be added to the AccessKey Resource (and it would make sense to have it there), but it would also need a change to the drift detection of the User so the added tag isn't seen as drift there
