Hi,
Cognito Identity does not receive or store user credentials. Cognito Identity uses the token from the identity provider to obtain a unique identifier for the user.
Please. go to Cognito's FAQ: https://aws.amazon.com/cognito/faqs/#:~:text=Cognito%20Identity%20does%20not%20receive%20or%20store%20user%20credentials.
Q: When using public identity providers, does Amazon Cognito Identity store users’ credentials?
No, your app communicates directly with the supported public identity provider (Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Google, or an Open ID Connect-compliant provider) to authenticate users. Cognito Identity does not receive or store user credentials. Cognito Identity uses the token from the identity provider to obtain a unique identifier for the user and then hashes it using a one-way hash so that the same user can be recognized again in the future without storing the actual user identifier.
Best, Didier
