## Core Concepts
### User Pools
User directory for sign-up and sign-in. Provides:
- User registration and authentication
- OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect tokens
- MFA and password policies
- Customizable UI and flows
### Identity Pools (Federated Identities)
Provide temporary AWS credentials to access AWS services. Users can be:
- Cognito User Pool users
- Social identity (Google, Facebook, Apple)
- SAML/OIDC enterprise identity
- Anonymous guests
### Tokens
| Token | Purpose | Lifetime |
|-------|---------|----------|
| **ID Token** | User identity claims | 1 hour |
| **Access Token** | API authorization | 1 hour |
| **Refresh Token** | Get new ID/Access tokens | 30 days (configurable) |
## Common Patterns
### Create User Pool
**AWS CLI:**
```bash
aws cognito-idp create-user-pool \
--pool-name my-app-users \
--policies '{
"PasswordPolicy": {
"MinimumLength": 12,
"RequireUppercase": true,
"RequireLowercase": true,
"RequireNumbers": true,
"RequireSymbols": true
}
}' \
--auto-verified-attributes email \
--username-attributes email \
--mfa-configuration OPTIONAL \
--user-attribute-update-settings '{
"AttributesRequireVerificationBeforeUpdate": ["email"]
}'
```
### Create App Client
```bash
aws cognito-idp create-user-pool-client \
--user-pool-id us-east-1_abc123 \
--client-name my-web-app \
--generate-secret \
--explicit-auth-flows ALLOW_USER_SRP_AUTH ALLOW_REFRESH_TOKEN_AUTH \
--supported-identity-providers COGNITO \
--callback-urls https://myapp.com/callback \
--logout-urls https://myapp.com/logout \
--allowed-o-auth-flows code \
--allowed-o-auth-scopes openid email profile \
--allowed-o-auth-flows-user-pool-client \
--access-token-validity 60 \
--id-token-validity 60 \
--refresh-token-validity 30 \
--token-validity-units '{
"AccessToken": "minutes",
"IdToken": "minutes",
"RefreshToken": "days"
}'
```
### Sign Up User
```python
import boto3
import hmac
import hashlib
import base64
cognito = boto3.client('cognito-idp')
def get_secret_hash(username, client_id, client_secret):
message = username + client_id
dig = hmac.new(
client_secret.encode('utf-8'),
message.encode('utf-8'),
digestmod=hashlib.sha256
).digest()
return base64.b64encode(dig).decode()
response = cognito.sign_up(
ClientId='client-id',
SecretHash=get_secret_hash('user@example.com', 'client-id', 'client-secret'),
Username='user@example.com',
Password='SecurePassword123!',
UserAttributes=[
{'Name': 'email', 'Value': 'user@example.com'},
{'Name': 'name', 'Value': 'John Doe'}
]
)
```
### Confirm Sign Up
```python
cognito.confirm_sign_up(
ClientId='client-id',
SecretHash=get_secret_hash('user@example.com', 'client-id', 'client-secret'),
Username='user@example.com',
ConfirmationCode='123456'
)
```
### Authenticate User
```python
response = cognito.initiate_auth(
ClientId='client-id',
AuthFlow='USER_SRP_AUTH',
AuthParameters={
'USERNAME': 'user@example.com',
'SECRET_HASH': get_secret_hash('user@example.com', 'client-id', 'client-secret'),
'SRP_A': srp_a # From SRP library
}
)
# For simple password auth (not recommended for production)
response = cognito.admin_initiate_auth(
UserPoolId='us-east-1_abc123',
ClientId='client-id',
AuthFlow='ADMIN_USER_PASSWORD_AUTH',
AuthParameters={
'USERNAME': 'user@example.com',
'PASSWORD': 'password',
'SECRET_HASH': get_secret_hash('user@example.com', 'client-id', 'client-secret')
}
)
tokens = response['AuthenticationResult']
id_token = tokens['IdToken']
access_token = tokens['AccessToken']
refresh_token = tokens['RefreshToken']
```
### Refresh Tokens
```python
response = cognito.initiate_auth(
ClientId='client-id',
AuthFlow='REFRESH_TOKEN_AUTH',
AuthParameters={
'REFRESH_TOKEN': refresh_token,
'SECRET_HASH': get_secret_hash('user@example.com', 'client-id', 'client-secret')
}
)
```
### Create Identity Pool
```bash
aws cognito-identity create-identity-pool \
--identity-pool-name my-app-identities \
--allow-unauthenticated-identities \
--cognito-identity-providers \
ProviderName=cognito-idp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/us-east-1_abc123,\
ClientId=client-id,\
ServerSideTokenCheck=true
```
### Get AWS Credentials
```python
import boto3
cognito_identity = boto3.client('cognito-identity')
# Get identity ID
response = cognito_identity.get_id(
IdentityPoolId='us-east-1:12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012',
Logins={
'cognito-idp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/us-east-1_abc123': id_token
}
)
identity_id = response['IdentityId']
# Get credentials
response = cognito_identity.get_credentials_for_identity(
IdentityId=identity_id,
Logins={
'cognito-idp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/us-east-1_abc123': id_token
}
)
credentials = response['Credentials']
# Use credentials['AccessKeyId'], credentials['SecretKey'], credentials['SessionToken']
```
## CLI Reference
### User Pool
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `aws cognito-idp create-user-pool` | Create user pool |
| `aws cognito-idp describe-user-pool` | Get pool details |
| `aws cognito-idp update-user-pool` | Update pool settings |
| `aws cognito-idp delete-user-pool` | Delete pool |
| `aws cognito-idp list-user-pools` | List pools |
### Users
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `aws cognito-idp admin-create-user` | Create user (admin) |
| `aws cognito-idp admin-delete-user` | Delete user |
| `aws cognito-idp admin-get-user` | Get user details |
| `aws cognito-idp list-users` | List users |
| `aws cognito-idp admin-set-user-password` | Set password |
| `aws cognito-idp admin-disable-user` | Disable user |
### Authentication
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `aws cognito-idp initiate-auth` | Start authentication |
| `aws cognito-idp respond-to-auth-challenge` | Respond to MFA |
| `aws cognito-idp admin-initiate-auth` | Admin authentication |
## Best Practices
### Security
- **Enable MFA** for all users (at least optional)
- **Use strong password policies**
- **Enable advanced security features** (adaptive auth)
- **Verify email/phone** before allowing sign-in
- **Use short token lifetimes** for sensitive apps
- **Never expose client secrets** in frontend code
### User Experience
- **Use hosted UI** for quick implementation
- **Customize UI** with CSS
- **Implement proper error handling**
- **Provide clear password requirements**
### Architecture
- **Use identity pools** for AWS resource access
- **Use access tokens** for API Gateway
- **Store refresh tokens securely**
- **Implement token refresh** before expiry
## Troubleshooting
### User Cannot Sign In
**Causes:**
- User not confirmed
- Password incorrect
- User disabled
- Account locked (too many attempts)
**Debug:**
```bash
aws cognito-idp admin-get-user \
--user-pool-id us-east-1_abc123 \
--username user@example.com
```
### Token Validation Failed
**Causes:**
- Token expired
- Wrong user pool/client ID
- Token signature invalid
**Validate JWT:**
```python
import jwt
import requests
# Get JWKS
jwks_url = f'https://cognito-idp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/us-east-1_abc123/.well-known/jwks.json'
jwks = requests.get(jwks_url).json()
# Decode and verify (use python-jose or similar)
from jose import jwt
claims = jwt.decode(
token,
jwks,
algorithms=['RS256'],
audience='client-id',
issuer='https://cognito-idp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/us-east-1_abc123'
)
```
### Hosted UI Not Working
**Check:**
- Callback URLs configured correctly
- Domain configured for user pool
- OAuth settings enabled
```bash
# Check domain
aws cognito-idp describe-user-pool \
--user-pool-id us-east-1_abc123 \
--query 'UserPool.Domain'
```
### Rate Limiting
**Symptom:** `TooManyRequestsException`
**Solutions:**
- Implement exponential backoff
- Request quota increase
- Cache tokens appropriately

Skill source recorded
Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.
Review before install: Avoid automatic install
Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
Repository metadata and review signals are advisory. Popularity, source discovery and successful execution are different facts.
Version reported in registry metadata; check source releases before relying on it.

This page exposes the same decision, trust, audit, use-case, and install signals through the Registry API, so agents can rank this skill without scraping the UI.
