AWS cognito: Update SDK doc links and user pools wording

Service: cognito · 2026-10-09 · Documentation low

File: cognito/latest/developerguide/getting-started-with-identity-pools.md

Summary

Updates links to the JavaScript SDK v3 and .NET SDK v4 setup/credentials-provider pages, rewords the user pools reference to 'Authenticating users with Amazon Cognito user pools', and renames a nav entry to 'Switching identities'.

Security assessment

The changes are link retargeting to newer SDK major versions plus editorial wording/nav updates. No security feature, vulnerability, or credential-handling guidance is added or changed.
