We are migrating an application from AWS to GCP. In AWS, we use Cognito service for maintaining different types of users inside userpools (for example: SSO users has different userpool and users with email and password are configured in different userpool, for MFA users, they have different user pool) In AWS Cognito, we also leverage certain functionalities like appclient id and secret for generating JWT tokens and authorizer lambda in pre-sign up trigger)
How can we achieve the above implementation in GCP?

The two main components of Amazon Cognito are user pools and identity pools. User pools are user directories that provide sign-up and sign-in options for your app users. Identity pools enable you to grant your users access to other AWS services. You can use identity pools and user pools separately or together.
Amazon Cognito lets you easily add user sign-up and authentication to your mobile and web apps. Amazon Cognito also enables you to authenticate users through an external identity provider and provides temporary security credentials to access your app's backend resources in AWS or any service behind Amazon API Gateway.
After successful authentication, Amazon Cognito returns user pool tokens to your app. You can use the tokens to grant your users access to your own server-side resources, or to the Amazon API Gateway. Or, you can exchange them for AWS credentials to access other AWS services.
Google Identity platform looks like amazon Cognito.

You can use Firebase Authentication as a equivalent of Amazon Cognito. This table provides a comparison between Amazon Cognito and Firebase Authentication.
