Amplify-js: Too many password attempts exceeded needs its own error code from Cognito

[tobiastornros]

Password attempts exceeded needs its own error code from Cognito.

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?
Feature

What is the current behavior?

When a user has exceeded their password attempts or entering wrong password the error code is: 'NotAuthorizedException'.

Only the message property is different:
Wrong password = 'Incorrect username or password'
Too many attempts = 'Password attempts exceeded'

How to reproduce:
Try to authenticate user 5-10 times with incorrect password.

What is the expected behavior?
Maybe provide new error code for this case. PasswordAttemptsExceeded to make it easier to handle this in the client.

Hello, thanks for submitting this issue.

Seems this has been brought up within the Cognito team last year:
https://github.com/amazon-archives/amazon-cognito-identity-js/issues/479

Could this be explained in the docs?
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito-user-identity-pools/latest/APIReference/API_InitiateAuth.html

Some RFIs require more detail to ensure requirements are met

Just going to shout in the echo chamber:

Is there any update on this issue yet? Did the team forget about this issue or forget to post here???

Hello - We've passed this information to the Cognito team internally and they're tracking it. I'll go ahead and close this issue but if you'd like to raise it on another channel you could also open an AWS support case.
