Properties

AccountRecoverySetting

Use this setting to define which verified available method a user can use to recover their password when they call ForgotPassword. It allows you to define a preferred method when a user has more than one method available. With this setting, SMS does not qualify for a valid password recovery mechanism if the user also has SMS MFA enabled. In the absence of this setting, Cognito uses the legacy behavior to determine the recovery method where SMS is preferred over email.

Required: No

Type: AccountRecoverySetting

Update requires: No interruption

AdminCreateUserConfig

The configuration for creating a new user profile.

Required: No

Type: AdminCreateUserConfig

Update requires: No interruption

AliasAttributes

Attributes supported as an alias for this user pool. Possible values: phone_number, email, or preferred_username.

Type: List of String

Update requires: No interruption

AutoVerifiedAttributes

The attributes to be auto-verified. Possible values: email, phone_number.

Required: No

Type: List of String

Update requires: No interruption

DeletionProtection

When active, DeletionProtection prevents accidental deletion of your user pool. Before you can delete a user pool that you have protected against deletion, you must deactivate this feature.

When you try to delete a protected user pool in a DeleteUserPool API request, Amazon Cognito returns an InvalidParameterException error. To delete a protected user pool, send a new DeleteUserPool request after you deactivate deletion protection in an UpdateUserPool API request.

Required: No

Type: String

Allowed values: ACTIVE | INACTIVE

Update requires: No interruption

DeviceConfiguration

The device-remembering configuration for a user pool. A null value indicates that you have deactivated device remembering in your user pool.

Note

When you provide a value for any DeviceConfiguration field, you activate the Amazon Cognito device-remembering feature.

Required: No

Type: DeviceConfiguration

Update requires: No interruption

EmailConfiguration

The email configuration of your user pool. The email configuration type sets your preferred sending method, AWS Region, and sender for messages from your user pool.
