AWS Serverless: Implementing Passwordless Authentication with AWS Cognito!

Did you know that passwordless authentication is often more secure than traditional password-based methods? Many companies are transitioning to passwordless authentication to enhance security and maintain compliance.   In this video, I will explain AWS Cognito, an AWS service for authentication, sign-in, and user management, and demonstrate how to configure it for passwordless authentication.   AWS Cognito is a fully managed service for user authentication and user management. While it has been around for over a decade, in November 2024, AWS introduced new features, including passwordless authentication, to enhance security and usability.   I will walk you through configuring AWS Cognito for passwordless sign-in, signing up a user, and redirecting them to a desired website upon successful login.
