AWS cli documentation change

Service: cli · 2026-02-28 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/cognito-idp/forgot-password.md

Summary

Updated CLI version references, added --cli-error-format option, expanded Lambda trigger documentation, and modified delivery code pattern validation

Security assessment

While the pattern change (adding tab/newline characters) could relate to validation improvements, there's no explicit security context provided. The Lambda trigger documentation updates are functional rather than security-focused.

-> You create custom workflows by assigning Lambda functions to user pool triggers. When you use the ForgotPassword API action, Amazon Cognito invokes any functions that are assigned to the following triggers: _pre sign-up_ , _custom message_ , and _user migration_ . When Amazon Cognito invokes any of these functions, it passes a JSON payload, which the function receives as input. This payload contains a `clientMetadata` attribute, which provides the data that you assigned to the ClientMetadata parameter in your ForgotPassword request. In your function code in Lambda, you can process the `clientMetadata` value to enhance your workflow for your specific needs.
