# Create the User Pool

## Create Cognito User Pool

* Go to Cognito service console in AWS
* Select `Create new user pool`
* Give the `Pool name`
* Select the `Review defaults` option
* Click on `Create pool`

At this stage, we have the most basic Cognito User pool ready to use. Users can do the signup with Email, Username, and Password and sign in with Username and Password.

This will create a basic User pool with all the default configurations. We will add more configurations as we progress.
