I recently learned that AWS Cognito can handle security and authentication. Is it true that AWS Cognito can manage these aspects for my application? If I have an existing app that currently has no authentication or authorization, can I integrate it with AWS Cognito to cover all authentication and authorization needs? Additionally, what are the key features of AWS Cognito that I should be aware of?
Details:
-
I have built a web application without any security features.
-
I want to add user authentication and authorization without having to configure security manually.
-
I heard AWS Cognito can manage OAuth2, JWT tokens, and social logins.
Specific Questions:
-
Can AWS Cognito handle user registration, login, and password management?
-
Does AWS Cognito support multi-factor authentication (MFA)?
-
Can it integrate with social identity providers like Google and Facebook?
-
What other security features does AWS Cognito provide that might benefit my application?
-
If I integrate AWS Cognito, will it manage all aspects of authentication and authorization, allowing me to focus on building the rest of the app?
-
What steps are involved in integrating AWS Cognito with an existing app?
-
Does AWS Cognito support role-based security for access control?
Thank you for your help!
