Federated identities in the Amazon Web Services Management Console

Federated identity users must change their password from an Amazon access portal. For more information, see Resetting your Amazon IAM Identity Center user password in the Amazon IAM Identity Center User Guide.

Federated identity users sign in using an external identity provider (IdP). You're a federated identity if you either:

  • Access your Amazon account or resources with third party credentials like Login with Amazon, Facebook, or Google.

  • Use the same credentials to sign in to corporate systems and Amazon services and you use a custom company portal to sign-in to Amazon.
