Step 3. Add social sign-in to a user pool (optional)

You can enable your app users to sign in through a social identity provider (IdP) such as Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Apple. Whether your users sign in directly or through a third party, all users have a profile in the user pool. Skip this step if you don't want to add sign in through a social sign-in identity provider.

Before you create a social IdP with Amazon Cognito, you must register your application with the social IdP to receive a client ID and client secret.

Create a developer account with Facebook.
Sign in with your Facebook credentials.
From the My Apps menu, choose Create New App.
Enter a name for your Facebook app and choose Create App ID.
On the left navigation bar, choose Settings, and then choose Basic.

4. Choose Continue, and then choose Register.
On the Download Your Key page, choose Download to download the private key and note the Key ID shown, and then choose Done. You will need this private key and the Key ID value shown on this page after you choose Apple as your identity provider in Step 2: Add a social IdP to your user pool.

In this section, you configure a social IdP in your user pool using the client ID and client secret from the previous section.

Original console

To configure a user pool social identity provider with the AWS Management Console

Go to the Amazon Cognito console. If prompted, enter your AWS credentials.
Choose Manage User Pools.
Choose an existing user pool from the list, or create a user pool.
On the left navigation bar, choose Identity providers.
Choose a social identity provider: Facebook, Google, Login with Amazon, or Apple.
Choose from the following steps, based on your choice of social identity provider:
- Google and Login with Amazon — Enter the app client ID and app client secret generated in the previous section.
- Facebook — Enter the app client ID and app client secret generated in the previous section, and then choose an API version (for example, version 2.12). We recommend choosing the latest possible version, as each Facebook API has a lifecycle and deprecation date. Facebook scopes and attributes can vary between API versions. We recommend testing your social identity log in with Facebook to ensure that federation works as intended.
- Sign In with Apple — Enter the Services ID, Team ID, Key ID, and private key generated in the previous section.

Enter the names of the scopes that you want to authorize. Scopes define which user attributes (such as name and email) you want to access with your app. For Facebook, these should be separated by commas. For Google and Login with Amazon, they should be separated by spaces. For Sign in with Apple, select the check boxes for the scopes you want access to.

Social identity provider	Example scopes
Facebook	`public_profile, email`
Google	`profile email openid`
Login with Amazon	`profile postal_code`
Sign in with Apple	`email name`

Your app user is asked to consent to providing these attributes to your app. For more information about their scopes, see the documentation from Google, Facebook, Login with Amazon, or Sign in with Apple.

With Sign in with Apple, the following are user scenarios where scopes might not be returned:

An end user encounters failures after leaving Apple’s sign in page (can be from Internal failures within Amazon Cognito or anything written by the developer)
The service ID identifier is used across user pools and/or other authentication services
A developer adds additional scopes after the end user has signed in before (no new information is retrieved)
A developer deletes the user and then the user signs in again without removing the app from their Apple ID profile

Choose Enable for the social identity provider that you are configuring.
Choose App client settings from the navigation bar.
Select your social identity provider as one of the Enabled Identity Providers for your user pool app.
Enter your callback URL into Callback URL(s) for your user pool app. This is the URL of the page where your user will be redirected after a successful authentication.
```
https://www.example.com
```
Choose Save changes.
On the Attribute mapping tab, add mappings for at least the required attributes, typically email, as follows:
1. Select the check box to choose the Facebook, Google, or Amazon attribute name. You can also enter the names of additional attributes that are not listed in the Amazon Cognito console.
2. Choose the destination user pool attribute from the drop-down list.
3. Choose Save changes.
4. Choose Go to summary.

New console

To configure a user pool social identity provider with the AWS Management Console

Choose User Pools.
Choose an existing user pool from the list, or create a user pool.
Choose the Sign-in experience tab. Locate Federated sign-in and select Add an identity provider.
Choose a social identity provider: Facebook, Google, Login with Amazon, or Sign in with Apple.
Choose from the following steps, based on your choice of social identity provider:
- Google and Login with Amazon — Enter the app client ID and app client secret generated in the previous section.
- Facebook — Enter the app client ID and app client secret generated in the previous section, and then choose an API version (for example, version 2.12). We recommend choosing the latest possible version, as each Facebook API has a lifecycle and deprecation date. Facebook scopes and attributes can vary between API versions. We recommend testing your social identity log in with Facebook to ensure that federation works as intended.
- Sign In with Apple — Enter the Services ID, Team ID, Key ID, and private key generated in the previous section.

Enter the names of the Authorized scopes you want to use. Scopes define which user attributes (such as name and email) you want to access with your app. For Facebook, these should be separated by commas. For Google and Login with Amazon, they should be separated by spaces. For Sign in with Apple, select the check boxes for the scopes you want access to.

Social identity provider	Example scopes
Facebook	`public_profile, email`
Google	`profile email openid`
Login with Amazon	`profile postal_code`
Sign in with Apple	`email name`

Your app user is prompted to consent to providing these attributes to your app. For more information about social provider scopes, see the documentation from Google, Facebook, Login with Amazon, or Sign in with Apple.

With Sign in with Apple, the following are user scenarios where scopes might not be returned:

An end user encounters failures after leaving Apple’s sign in page (can be from Internal failures within Amazon Cognito or anything written by the developer)
The service ID identifier is used across user pools and/or other authentication services
A developer adds additional scopes after the end user has signed in before (no new information is retrieved)
A developer deletes the user and then the user signs in again without removing the app from their Apple ID profile

Map attributes from your identity provider to your user pool. For more information, see Specifying Identity Provider Attribute Mappings for Your User Pool.
Choose Create.
From the App client integration tab, choose one of the App clients in the list and Edit hosted UI settings. Add the new social identity provider to the app client under Identity providers.
Choose Save changes.

You can create a login URL by using the elements from the previous two sections. Use it to test your social IdP configuration.



https://<your_user_pool_domain>/login?response_type=code&client_id=<your_client_id>&redirect_uri=https://www.example.com

You can find your domain on the user pool Domain name console page. The client_id is on the App client settings page. Use your callback URL for the redirect_uri parameter. This is the URL of the page where your user will be redirected after a successful authentication.

Note

Amazon Cognito cancels authentication requests that do not complete within 5 minutes, and redirects the user to the hosted UI. The page displays a Something went wrong error message.
