Pros and cons description: Simple operation and maintenance, which is handled by GenAuth. Each user pool has an independent secondary domain name; if you need to embed it in your application, you need to log in using the pop-up mode, that is: after clicking the login button, a window will pop up with the login page hosted by GenAuth, or redirect the browser to the login page hosted by GenAuth.
Detailed access method:
3.1 Create an application in the GenAuth console. For details, see: How to create an application in GenAuth
3.2 On the created "Amazon Mobile" identity source connection details page, open and associate an application created in the GenAuth console
3.3 Experience Amazon third-party login on the login page (as shown in the [end-user preview](#end-user preview)).
