Allows a user to enter a confirmation code to reset a forgotten password

Description

Allows a user to enter a confirmation code to reset a forgotten password.

See https://www.paws-r-sdk.com/docs/cognitoidentityprovider_confirm_forgot_password/ for full documentation.

Usage

cognitoidentityprovider_confirm_forgot_password(
  ClientId,
  SecretHash = NULL,
  Username,
  ConfirmationCode,
  Password,
  AnalyticsMetadata = NULL,
  UserContextData = NULL,
  ClientMetadata = NULL
)

Arguments

ClientId

[required] The app client ID of the app associated with the user pool.

SecretHash

A keyed-hash message authentication code (HMAC) calculated using the secret key of a user pool client and username plus the client ID in the message. For more information about SecretHash, see Computing secret hash values.

Username

[required] The username of the user that you want to query or modify. The value of this parameter is typically your user's username, but it can be any of their alias attributes. If username isn't an alias attribute in your user pool, this value must be the sub of a local user or the username of a user from a third-party IdP.

ConfirmationCode

[required] The confirmation code from your user's request to reset their password. For more information, see forgot_password.

Password

[required] The new password that your user wants to set.

AnalyticsMetadata

The Amazon Pinpoint analytics metadata for collecting metrics for confirm_forgot_password calls.

UserContextData

Contextual data about your user session, such as the device fingerprint, IP address, or location. Amazon Cognito advanced security evaluates the risk of an authentication event based on the context that your app generates and passes to Amazon Cognito when it makes API requests.

ClientMetadata

A map of custom key-value pairs that you can provide as input for any custom workflows that this action triggers.

You create custom workflows by assigning Lambda functions to user pool triggers. When you use the ConfirmForgotPassword API action, Amazon Cognito invokes the function that is assigned to the post confirmation trigger. When Amazon Cognito invokes this function, it passes a JSON payload, which the function receives as input. This payload contains a clientMetadata attribute, which provides the data that you assigned to the ClientMetadata parameter in your ConfirmForgotPassword request. In your function code in Lambda, you can process the clientMetadata value to enhance your workflow for your specific needs.

For more information, see Customizing user pool Workflows with Lambda Triggers in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide.

When you use the ClientMetadata parameter, remember that Amazon Cognito won't do the following:

  • Store the ClientMetadata value. This data is available only to Lambda triggers that are assigned to a user pool to support custom workflows. If your user pool configuration doesn't include triggers, the ClientMetadata parameter serves no purpose.

  • Validate the ClientMetadata value.

  • Encrypt the ClientMetadata value. Don't use Amazon Cognito to provide sensitive information.
