I am using AWS Congito Hosted for authentication. One thing I would like to be able to do is have a cancel option on the login screen like this.
So that if they decide to back out they can easily go back to the previous screen. Is it possible?

We have a native app and an Alexa skill. You can't use the Alexa skill without the app and you need to have your app account first. Some users are creating accounts with the Alexa skill that aren't linked with their app accounts.
We can disable self-registration and the sign-up link goes away in the hosted UI, but it also prevents account creation from the application using Amplify.
I looked at the hosted UI customization CSS to see if I could style that link to hide it, but the CSS customizations don't seem to address that link specifically. I'd like to avoid reinventing the entire auth wheel just to get rid of that one link.
Is there any way to disable the "sign up" link in the Cognito hosted UI without disabling self-registration?
Thanks!
You have 2 options as far as I know.
Use custom lambda trigger on signup to reject calls made from your hosted UI
Use your own login page instead of hosted UI.
Unfortunately, there is no way to modify the contents of the UI. You can only change the CSS and add a logo.
The first method is easier but is a bad implementation because you are confusing your users with a button to register but then rejecting all their attempts. Second method is the best way to achieve what you want.
Another method is to use the adminCreateUser function, give it a temporary password and suppress email sending of the temporary password. Then do adminSetUserPassword to give the user the desired permanent password.
This technique seems to work properly when the "Enable signup" feature is disabled.
I want to use instagram's API but it asks me for authentication. I have logged in instagram but still I cannot get the authentication. Going through the web I found that we need to Register a new client but I don't know what details I need to give there.
This is certainly not a comprehensive answer, but to get you started go to https://www.instagram.com/developer/register/ and look for the Manage Clients button in the upper right corner. You'll need to be logged in first. Then click Register Your Application. You will have to have your callback URL ready to go, what they call the redirect_uri.
I'm trying to develop a rally app using the app builder. When I load App-debug.html in my browser, I am prompted to enter my user credentials in the form provided. I enter them, but the form re-appears over and over again.
I did notice that the login attempts to authenticate via https://rally1.rallydev.com:443. If I go to this in another window and enter my account details I am able to get in. However, when I do log in, there is a corporate redirect that takes place (for SSO) and I ultimately end up on us1.rallydev.com.
How would I get my app to authenticate through us1.rallydev.com. Changing urls in App.js and config.json only causes errors when trying to load javascript for APIs.
The app should always just piggyback on your existing session. Changing the serverin config.json and re-running rab build should cause all traffic to go to that server- if that's not happening then that's a bug.
You won't be able to authenticate from scratch using SSO from an app, but it should have no problem re-using an existing session.
Another option is to use an API Key to develop: https://help.rallydev.com/apps/2.0/doc/#!/guide/embedding_apps
I have a web application that uses google & facebook oauth2 to authorize the users.
But, the application can also be hosted in other sites in a frame.
The problem is that in that case google blocks the login phase (since it's in a frame), is there a way to overcome it?
I don't think so. If possible stay away from embedding other site with frames.
You could contrive something where your client makes an ajax call to your server. If your server send the login redirect, your client can use the 302 location to open a popup window. You will of course need to make sure the user isn't blocking popups.
I'm trying to add Azure Mobile Service authentications to my WinRT app. I got everything working and I can sign in with all the 4 social media accounts(Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft Account). But when I close the app and restart it, I have to write my user name and password even if I check the Remember Me button on either one of the options. Let say I logged in with my Facebook account, what I want to achive is, when I restart the app and click Login with Facebook, it shouldn't ask my username and password but automatically authenticate me. The remember me button seems to not working. Is there a way to achive this?
Thank you for the answers.
Edit: I'm using C#/XAML for my my app.

Note
... This method is easy to configure and supports multiple providers. However, this method also requires users to log-in every time your app starts. To instead use Live Connect to provide a single sign-on experience in your Windows Store app, see the topic Single sign-on for Windows Store apps by using Live Connect.
