Signup form with email OTP verification with Amazon Cognito

About this template

This signup form with Amazon Cognito includes:

  1. An initial form step that requires the full name, email and password.
  2. A flow that checks if the email is available, generates an OTP and sends it via email.
  3. A second step that requires the verification code.
  4. And lastly, a flow that verifies the OTP, creates the account and issues a token to automatically log the user in.
