Cognito Managed Login has no recovery path for unconfirmed users

Amazon Cognito Managed Login has a UX gap in the sign-up confirmation flow that can leave users stranded.

Reproduction steps:

1. User signs up via Managed Login
2. User is prompted to enter an email confirmation code
3. User closes the screen before entering the code
4. Later, user tries to sign in

Current behavior:

• The user sees "User is not confirmed"
• There is no visible option to enter the confirmation code
• There is no option to resend the confirmation code
• The user cannot proceed without external support or custom implementation

Expected behavior:

• From the "User is not confirmed" state, provide:
  • A way to enter the confirmation code
  • A way to resend the confirmation code

Impact: This creates a dead end for legitimate users and increases production support burden, as users cannot recover by themselves. It can also lead to lost user conversions in real-world applications.

This issue makes managed login unsuitable for fully self-service onboarding flows without additional custom implementation.

This is not just a UX improvement request, but a necessary recovery path for real-world usage.

Is there any official workaround for this using managed login only?

Current guidance (including community answers) often suggests deleting the user from the Cognito console as a workaround. However, this is not a viable solution in production, as it requires manual intervention and does not scale for real users.
