Question

We have 2 diff userType "producer" and "consumer". Where if user signs up with the email "[email protected] " as producer we assign custom:userType attribute as "producer".

Now same user wants to sign up as a consumer with the same email "[email protected] " but the user already exists in the Cognito pool with userType as "producer".

So is there any solution for this? Where user can use the same email for both userType.

Configuration -
Cognito user pool sign-in options -
User name
Email
Phone number

Hey @yashBrahma, thank you for reaching out. we can utilize email alias,
for example, [email protected] and [email protected]. Cognito will treat these as separate emails on user signup.

Additionally, we can utilize username as signup mechanism, where for example we can create different usernames that are tied to the same email address and can add multiple emails as well.

consumer123 with email [email protected] as "consumer"
