Aws Amplify Auth Starters

Overview

The AWS Amplify Authentication Starters is a collection of sample applications that aim to simplify the process of setting up and implementing authentication in AWS Amplify. It includes various frameworks such as React, React Native, Expo, and Vue, allowing developers to quickly get up and running with authentication in their applications.

Features

• User sign up: Provides functionality for users to create new accounts and register themselves in the application.
• User sign in: Allows users to authenticate themselves by logging into their accounts using their credentials.
• Multi factor authentication (MFA): Supports an additional layer of security by enabling users to verify their identities through MFA methods like SMS or email.
• Routing / Navigation Auth flows: Implements seamless navigation and routing capabilities that take the user’s authentication status into account, ensuring they only have access to appropriate routes.
• Protected routes: Restricts access to certain routes to authenticated users only, ensuring sensitive information and actions are restricted to authorized users.
• Redirects for unauthorized users: Automatically redirects unauthorized users to the login/signup page, preventing unauthorized access to restricted content.
