Resolve Cognito login failures by detecting and fixing duplicate accounts.

  • Identifies duplicate user accounts sharing phone numbers or email addresses.
  • Integrates with AWS Cognito and backend user databases for data comparison.
  • Analyzes account status to determine which duplicates to retain or delete.
  • Outputs detailed analysis reports and executes safe deletion scripts.

# Cognito User Analysis

Analyze and fix duplicate Cognito users in clipboard-production by comparing against backend data.

**Skill directory:** This skill's scripts are in `scripts/` relative to this file.

## When to Use

- User reports "403 Forbidden" or can't log in (possible duplicate blocking)
- Need to look up Cognito user details from sub UUIDs
- Finding accounts sharing same phone/email
- Cleaning up orphaned UNCONFIRMED signups
- Backend `cbh_user_id` doesn't match Cognito

**Not for:** Single user attribute updates (use AWS CLI directly)

## Quick Start

```bash
# 1. Verify prerequisites
scripts/check-prerequisites.sh

# 2. Create input file (one sub per line)
echo "68e1e380-d0c1-7028-4256-3361fd833080" > subs.txt

# 3. Pipeline: lookup → find duplicates → analyze → fix
scripts/cognito-lookup.sh subs.txt results.csv
scripts/cognito-find-duplicates.sh results.csv duplicates.csv
scripts/cognito-analyze-duplicates.sh duplicates.csv analysis.csv

# 4. Review analysis.csv, then fix (ALWAYS dry-run first!)
scripts/cognito-fix-duplicates.sh analysis.csv --dry-run
scripts/cognito-fix-duplicates.sh analysis.csv
```

## Prerequisites

Run `scripts/check-prerequisites.sh` to verify. Requirements:

| Requirement                           | Setup                                                       |
| ------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| AWS profile `cbh-production-platform` | `aws sso login --profile cbh-production-platform`           |
| `~/.cbh_token`                        | Get from web app dev tools → Network → Authorization header |

See [references/setup.md](references/setup.md) for detailed setup.

## Scripts

All scripts support `--help`. Run `<script> --help` for full usage.

| Script                                  | Purpose                                     |
| --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| `scripts/check-prerequisites.sh`        | Verify AWS + API token are valid            |
| `scripts/cognito-lookup.sh`             | sub → user details CSV                      |
| `scripts/cognito-find-duplicates.sh`    | Find accounts sharing phone/email           |
| `scripts/cognito-analyze-duplicates.sh` | Compare against backend, assign KEEP/DELETE |
| `scripts/cognito-fix-duplicates.sh`     | Execute deletions and updates               |

## Scoring (Analysis)

Compares Cognito accounts against backend to determine which to keep:

| Score | Meaning                                                |
| ----- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| 185   | Perfect match: cbh_user_id + email + phone + CONFIRMED |
| 100+  | cbh_user_id matches (high confidence)                  |
| 25-99 | Partial match (email or phone only)                    |
| 0-24  | Orphaned signup (UNCONFIRMED, no backend link)         |

Highest score = `KEEP_AND_UPDATE`. Others = `DELETE`.

## Common Mistakes

| Mistake                | Fix                                            |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| 403 Forbidden from API | Token expired → get fresh token from web app   |
| Skipping --dry-run     | Always dry-run first. Deletes are permanent.   |
| Wrong AWS profile      | Run `scripts/check-prerequisites.sh` to verify |
