I'm currently trying to run aws cognito-idp initiate-auth, I'm using the correct username, password and client id, so I'm not sure what to do.

This is the error I'm getting

  • Nothing seems wrong with your command. Is it possible that the service was actually temporarily unavailable (503)? – Register Sole Jan 21 '22 at 05:55
  • I've used this service before to authenticate my aws Cognito account – Leah Sherman Jan 21 '22 at 17:25
  • If the service is actually temporarily unavailable, how do I change my account status from FORCE_CHANGE_PASSWORD? @RegisterSole – Leah Sherman Jan 24 '22 at 23:48
  • Maybe try this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40287012/how-to-change-user-status-force-change-password – Register Sole Jan 25 '22 at 01:56
  • I did what they recommended and this is what I'm getting https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iLEksxx02utQmxNS_IH0nzVaCFUTEXzN/view?usp=sharing – Leah Sherman Jan 25 '22 at 17:27
  • Is there a mismatched double quote or quote in one of the masked fields? dquote seems to indicate so – Register Sole Jan 26 '22 at 04:03
  • The only quote marks that exist in the command are around the password attribute which is in double quotes – Leah Sherman Jan 26 '22 at 04:28
  • Ok, is there a special character in the password, like one of these `#\`$"\!'`? If yes, can you try again, but replace the double quotes with single quotes? Double quotes may not escape these characters in UNIX. – Register Sole Jan 26 '22 at 05:14
  • I have a special character in my password and I'm now using single quotes. I'm getting An error occurred (503) when calling the InitiateAuth operation: Service Unavailable – Leah Sherman Jan 26 '22 at 21:19
