In many cases, we want to have access controls to our service. AWS Cognito provides us with a way to authorize users' access to AWS resources. While there are a few options for implementing authentication with Cognito(including AWS Amplify/Cognito User Pool), Auth0 has excellent benefits:

  • Simple yet customizable Universal login
  • Various integrations supported (Social providers, SSO, MFA)
  • Granular user/group management
