In this recipe, we will log in to our application using Amazon credentials. We can do the same with other supported providers such as Facebook, Google, and Twitter. While the steps within Cognito will be similar to all the providers, configurations that have to be done at the provider side may be different for different providers. Nevertheless, working with one provider will help us to improve our understanding of the complete process.
