Federated identities in the AWS Management Console

Federated identity users must change their password from an AWS access portal. For more information, see Resetting your AWS IAM Identity Center user password in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.

Federated identity users sign in using an external identity provider (IdP). You're a federated identity if you either:

  • Access your AWS account or resources with third party credentials like Login with Amazon, Facebook, or Google.

  • Use the same credentials to sign in to corporate systems and AWS services and you use a custom company portal to sign-in to AWS.
