“Amazon Cognito is a service that you can use to create unique identities for your users, authenticate these identities with identity providers, and save mobile user data in the AWS Cloud.”
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/?id=docs_gateway
Amazon Cognito provides authentication, authorization, and user management for your web and mobile apps. Your users can sign in directly with a user name and password, or through a third party such as Facebook, Amazon, Google or Apple.
The two main components of Amazon Cognito are user pools and identity pools.
User pools are user directories that provide sign-up and sign-in options for your app users.
Identity pools enable you to grant your users access to other AWS services.
