Google Login on AWS Cognito Without Hosted UI (Work-around)

I’ve previously written an article about basic username/password authentication with AWS Cognito. This article will cover registration and authentication using Google.

How to Handle Password Reset in Express.js

No authentication system is complete without a password reset feature. I would personally never ship a product that did not have this feature included. It is necessary to provide a way for users to recover access to their accounts/data in case of a lost or forgotten password. …
