Question

We can associate google, Twitter, or any Oauth2.0 authorisation with AWS cognito. But, can we use our cognito as Oauth2.0 or an identity provider for other websites?

Answer 1

Amazon Cognito is an OIDC provider. So if website supports OIDC, you can use Cognito as an identity provider. You can find more details about OIDC configurations here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/amazon-cognito-user-pools-using-tokens-with-identity-providers.html
