LAB ID: secure-user-authentication-with-amazon-cognito-user-pools
Experience a direct and advanced start with Cognito User Pools – whether you are an app creator, a SaaS provider, or a student. Cognito User Pools Labs eliminates the need to start from scratch. Users can simply jump to the interesting portion of using Amazon Cognito User Pools to manage user registration, login, and multi-factor authentication (MFA). The work from ground-up generally includes navigating around different steps, or intertwined components, of the process. What remains is the core part, or the objective, of having the ability to sign-in securely and verify identities via MFA. Account creation remains the starting point – something that Cognito User Pool Labs acknowledges and covers in its simple-to-understand form with the entire process. Often associated with Cloud Engineers, Cognito User Pools can still be undertaken by any mind. One more thing – a resume-ready certificate awaits you after the completion of the lab. Learning Outcomes: By the end of this lab, learners will: • Create an Amazon Cognito User Pool • Configure user sign-up and sign-in options • Configure password policies • Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) • Create and verify users in the User Pool Scenario You are a cloud engineer at an online learning platform. The company wants students to create accounts, sign in securely, and verify their identity using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Instead of building an authentication system from scratch, you will use Amazon Cognito User Pools to manage user registration, authentication, and secure user sign-in. Your task is to: 1. Create an Amazon Cognito User Pool. 2. Configure user registration, password policies, and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). 3. Register a user, verify the account, and successfully sign in using Amazon Cognito.
