Documentation is all over the place. And Cognito can be broken it 2 or 3 products by itself. Getting through the documentation took me a lot of time. I am also struggling with a few API calls that seem to return some issues

I like how easy it is to log into many tools using Google Identity. It is very seamless.

I hate that you can not edit the name once it is created or you cant change the name later
