How to edit the limit of attempts to change a password in AWS Cognito?


I have implemented a change password feature and now I would like to test it. But I’m facing the limit of attempts. What should I do to prevent this error?

Attempt limit exceeded, please try after some time


Solution

  • I am on the Cognito team. This is not configurable. We do have protection mechanisms to prevent users from abusing forgot password APIs which is probably what you are witnessing.
