Error: Native crypto module could not be used to get secure random number.

Describe the bug I’m using the serverless.com framework together with: "amazon-cognito-identity-js": "^4.5.2" and I still get the error: Error: Native crypto module could not be used to get secure random number. even though it was supposed to be fixed in version 3.2.0.

It happens when I use the CognitoUser.authenticateUser method. Any updates on this issue?

I am still experiencing this error with Angular 11 when running ng-serve, and @aws-amplify/auth.

Warning: ./node_modules/amazon-cognito-identity-js/es/utils/cryptoSecureRandomInt.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'crypto' in '/Users/mattijs/www/earnr/earnr-dashboard/node_modules/amazon-cognito-identity-js/es/utils'

I have tried installing "amazon-cognito-identity-js": "^4.5.4-unstable.6",

"compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "paths": {
      "crypto": [
        "../../node_modules/crypto-js"
      ]
    },

and installing latest ampliy/core, auth and pubsub. Nothing works.

I can’t use require, TS compiler is freaking out.

Thanks again for the reproduction sample @Ladvace! I have made a small adjustment in this PR that should fix the behavior you’re seeing. It is available to use now with the unstable tag, and we will likely have a release to latest next week.

Can you verify that unstable works for you?

Also, with that fix, it is no longer required to add global.crypto = require('crypto') in your code, as this will handle that automatically.
