Creating an Amazon Cognito user pool

We will create an Amazon Cognito user pool using the Management Console. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Amazon Cognito service within the Management Console.
2. Click the Manage User Pools button.
3. This takes us to a listing of all the user pools that have currently been set up inside our AWS account. Since we have not configured any inside this account, it should be empty:

4. Click the Create a user pool button to start creating our first pool. We will immediately be prompted for a pool name and given options for either reviewing the default configuration recommended by AWS or stepping through the configuration one step at a time. Selecting the Review defaults option will simply skip us to the Review page, so let's select Step through settings and see what options are available to us.
