Package cognitoidentity provides the API client, operations, and parameter
types for Amazon Cognito Identity.
Amazon Cognito Federated Identities Amazon Cognito Federated Identities is a
web service that delivers scoped temporary credentials to mobile devices and
other untrusted environments. It uniquely identifies a device and supplies the
user with a consistent identity over the lifetime of an application. Using
Amazon Cognito Federated Identities, you can enable authentication with one or
more third-party identity providers (Facebook, Google, or Login with Amazon) or
an Amazon Cognito user pool, and you can also choose to support unauthenticated
access from your app. Cognito delivers a unique identifier for each user and
acts as an OpenID token provider trusted by AWS Security Token Service (STS) to
access temporary, limited-privilege AWS credentials. For a description of the
authentication flow from the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide see Authentication
Flow (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/authentication-flow.html)
