AWS::Cognito::UserPoolClient - Devices

[brainstorm]

1. Title

AWS::Cognito::UserPoolClient-Devices-Always/User Opt-In/No

2. Scope of request

Coverage of CRUD actions on the Cognito User Pool Client's "Remember Devices" attribute, which is not yet available via CloudFormation

5. Helpful Links to speed up research and evaluation

This is a followup on AWS CDK issue aws/aws-cdk#7245 for Web Console's UserPool->General Settings->Devices, a.k.a:

"Do you want to remember your user's devices?"

Isn't this already available under DeviceConfiguration?

Always, MFA Yes

DeviceConfiguration:
  ChallengeRequiredOnNewDevice: true

Always, MFA No

DeviceConfiguration:
  ChallengeRequiredOnNewDevice: false
  DeviceOnlyRememberedOnUserPrompt: false

User Opt In, MFA No

DeviceConfiguration:
  DeviceOnlyRememberedOnUserPrompt: true

User Opt In, MFA Yes

DeviceConfiguration:
  DeviceOnlyRememberedOnUserPrompt: true
  ChallengeRequiredOnNewDevice: true

No

Omit DeviceConfiguration

This domain modeling drives me nuts (see also AccountRecoverySetting). Way more difficult and confusing than it should be in my opinion. Maybe Cognito team is planning for features that may/may not happen. No idea.

@cmckni3 Thanks for supplying all the permutations for this! Such a frustrating API.

Thanks from the Cognito team for the feedback. We have updated our documentation to clarify the device configuration settings
