Amazon Cognito adds admin API operation to reset user TOTP configurations

calendar_today August 26, 2026 person aws@amazon.com domain amazon-q

Amazon Cognito now provides a new admin API operation to reset a user’s time-based one-time Password (TOTP) multi-factor authentication (MFA) configuration. When users lose access to their TOTP device, administrators can remove the device association, allowing the user to enroll a new device on their next sign-in. This removes the need to recreate accounts to recover locked-out users if they lose access to their TOTP device.
