# Federated identities in the Amazon Web Services Management Console
Federated identities

Federated identity users must change their password from an Amazon access portal. For more information, see [ Resetting your Amazon IAM Identity Center user password](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/singlesignon/latest/userguide/resetpassword-accessportal.html) 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. 

For more information, see [Federated identity](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/signin/latest/userguide/federated-identity-type.html) in the *Amazon Sign-In User Guide.*.
