admin_update_device_status#

CognitoIdentityProvider.Client.admin_update_device_status(**kwargs)#

Updates the status of a user’s device so that it is marked as remembered or not remembered for the purpose of device authentication. Device authentication is a “remember me” mechanism that silently completes sign-in from trusted devices with a device key instead of a user-provided MFA code. This operation changes the status of a device without deleting it, so you can enable it again later. For more information about device authentication, see Working with devices.

Note

Amazon Cognito evaluates Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies in requests for this API operation. For this operation, you must use IAM credentials to authorize requests, and you must grant yourself the corresponding IAM permission in a policy.
