Amazon Exam SCS-C02 Topic 3 Question 15 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's SCS-C02 exam
Question #: 15
Topic #: 3
[All SCS-C02 Questions]

A company runs an online game on AWS. When players sign up for the game, their username and password credentials are stored in an Amazon Aurora database.

The number of users has grown to hundreds of thousands of players. The number of requests for password resets and login assistance has become a burden for the company's customer service team.

The company needs to implement a solution to give players another way to log in to the game. The solution must remove the burden of password resets and login assistance while securely protecting each player's credentials.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The best solution to meet the company's requirements of offering an alternative login method while securely protecting player credentials and reducing the burden of password resets is to use Amazon Cognito with user pools. Amazon Cognito provides a fully managed service that facilitates the authentication, authorization, and user management for web and mobile applications. By configuring Amazon Cognito user pools to federate access with third-party Identity Providers (IdPs), such as social media platforms or Google, the company can allow users to sign in through these external IdPs, thereby eliminating the need for traditional username and password logins. This not only enhances user convenience but also offloads the responsibility of managing user credentials and the associated challenges like password resets to Amazon Cognito, thereby reducing the burden on the company's customer service team. Additionally, Amazon Cognito integrates seamlessly with other AWS services and follows best practices for security and compliance, ensuring that the player's credentials are protected.

I think option D is worth considering. Using API keys instead of usernames and passwords can add an extra layer of security to the game. Plus, setting up an Amazon API Gateway API can streamline access to game functionality.
