How do I go about email verifying a user who is CONFIRMED yet email_verified is false?
The scenario is roughly an agent signs up user on their behalf, and I confirm the user through the admin call adminConfirmSignUp. At that point, the user cannot change their password because of the email_verified flag being false.
I can't call resendConfirmationCode because the user is already confirmed.
I can't call forgotPassword because the email_verified flag is false.
The best I can think of is deleting the user account and calling signUp (prompting them to re-enter their password or a new password), hence recreating their account.
Amazon Cognito can automatically verify email addresses or phone numbers. To do this verification, Amazon Cognito sends a verification code or a verification link. For email addresses, Amazon Cognito can send a code or a link in an email message. For phone numbers, Amazon Cognito sends a code in an SMS text message.
When a user updates their email address or phone number in your app, Amazon Cognito immediately sends a message with a verification code to a user if you configured your user pool to automatically verify that attribute. The user must then provide the code from the verification message to your app.
In order to change a Cognito user's status from FORCE_CHANGE_PASSWORD to CONFIRMED , we have to change their password. To change a Cognito user's password, use the admin-set-password command, setting the --permanent parameter. Copied!
To update a cognito user's attributes use the admin-update-user-attributes command, specifying the user-pool-id , username and user-attributes parameters.
Using the AWS CLI you can update the email_verified attribute:
aws cognito-idp admin-update-user-attributes --user-pool-id eu-west-xxxxxx --username xxxxyyyy@example.com --user-attributes Name=email_verified,Value=true
