I sign up with mobile number, and later on I add email attribute to that user pool record and call forgot password API it sends verification code on mobile number, but i want it to send it on Email, how can i do this? Here is my Code.

The #forgot_password takes only two values in hash as per API document

Check user details using get_user

If mfa_options[0].delivery_medium is 'SMS', call set_user_settings to update delivery medium to 'EMAIL'.
