HAQM Cognito User Pools now enables customers to choose how long their access and refresh tokens should be valid. Access tokens can be configured to expire in as little as five minutes or as long as 24 hours. Refresh tokens can be configured to expire in as little as one hour or as long as ten years. These customizations enable HAQM Cognito customers to balance the security and usability of each application they develop.
HAQM Cognito User Pools provide a secure user directory that scales to millions of users. As a fully managed service, User Pools provide an identity and authentication layer to applications.
Customization of token expiration is available in all regions where HAQM Cognito operates. For a list of regions where HAQM Cognito is available, see the AWS Region table. To learn more about HAQM Cognito, visit the documentation. To get started, visit the HAQM Cognito home page.
