Amazon Cognito

Amazon Cognito lets you add user sign-up, sign-in, and access control to your web and mobile apps quickly and easily. It can scale to millions of users and supports sign-in with social identity providers, such as Facebook, Google, and Amazon, and enterprise identity providers via SAML 2.0.

In this case, I am using Cognito as it is very easy to start with and integrate, plus I am using a bunch of features that can integrate with Lambda where I can put my custom logic.

For more details check out the documentation.

Pricing

If you are using Amazon Cognito Identity to create a User Pool, you pay based on your monthly active users (MAUs) only. A user is counted as a MAU if, within a calendar month, there is an identity operation related to that user, such as sign-up, sign-in, token refresh, or password change. You are not charged for subsequent sessions or for inactive users within that calendar month.
