Amplify Authentication - User Attribute Change

Question

The Amplify documentation [link][1] shows that when you update a user attribute "(s)ome attributes require confirmation for the attribute update to complete". What attribute specifically will require confirmation?

Accepted Answer

Hi -

The standard attributes that are available for update as part of Amplify Auth are listed in the Cognito documentation at this [link][1].

Of these phone and email are the two attributes that can be setup for MFA verification.  This is possible from the MFA and Verifications tab within Cognito => User Pools => General Settings. The email verification is enabled by default. The other options are phone number, email or phone, or you can specify 'no verification'
