• AWS::Cognito::UserPool - Policies - SignInPolicy aws-cloudformation/cloudformation-coverage-roadmap#2200

Please describe a solution you'd like.

Support for passwordless account creation and sign-in with AWS Cognito and Amplify via Amplify configuration of Cognito and the Authenticator component. All auth storage options, session, cookie, etc. should be supported.

I recognize full support requires CDK support of these features. I am hoping the AWS teams can work collaboratively to expand these new Cognito features to Amplify

We love contributors! Is this something you'd be interested in working on?

Hello, @ataylorme and thanks for opening this issue. We just released support for passwordless auth flows on the amplify-js repo (now available in v6.10.0), and will incorporate support Cognito managed passwordless logins on the UI side as soon as we can.

Thank you! One thing that hasn’t been clear to me so far is if there can be passwordless sign up as well as passwordless sign in. Basically Cognito configured for magic links and/or passkeys only

@ataylorme, both passwordless sign up and sign in are supported using OTP codes. Passkeys are not supported during sign up, you must already be authenticated to create one, then it can be used in subsequent sign-ins. Hope that clears things up!
