Amazon Cognito · Schema

DeviceConfigurationType

The device-remembering configuration for a user pool. A DescribeUserPool request returns a null value for this object when the user pool isn't configured to remember devices. When device remembering is active, you can remember a user's device with a ConfirmDevice API request. Additionally. when the property DeviceOnlyRememberedOnUserPrompt is true, you must follow ConfirmDevice with an UpdateDeviceStatus API request that sets the user's device to remembered or not_remembered.

To sign in with a remembered device, include DEVICE_KEY in the authentication parameters in your user's InitiateAuth request. If your app doesn't include a DEVICE_KEY parameter, the response from Amazon Cognito includes newly-generated DEVICE_KEY and DEVICE_GROUP_KEY values under NewDeviceMetadata. Store these values to use in future device-authentication requests.

When you provide a value for any property of DeviceConfiguration, you activate the device remembering for the user pool.
