AWS signin: Updates Builder ID sign-in troubleshooting wording to 'third-party login'

Service: signin · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: signin/latest/userguide/sign-in-builder-id.md

Summary

One-sentence wording change in the 'Trouble Signing In?' troubleshooting guidance, replacing 'social login' with 'third-party login'. The linked recovery documentation and the conditions listed (forgotten password, lost MFA device) are unchanged.

Security assessment

Purely a terminology alignment edit; no authentication controls, permissions, or recovery mechanics are added, removed, or clarified in a security-relevant way. The MFA and password recovery references remain as before.

Evidence

+If you can't sign in, choose **Trouble Signing In?** on the sign-in page. For example, use this option if you forgot your password, lost your MFA device, or can no longer use your third-party login. For more information, see [Recover your AWS Builder ID](./recover-builder-id.html).
