Login with google for the second time : email Attribute cannot be updated
See original GitHub issueDescribe the bug I have the same problem as this #issue. If you make a user pool with required email field then the second google login attempt fails. changing required fields after creating UserPool is not possible and deleting the UserPool and making a new one doesn’t look like a good solution to me because by doing it I will lose all my user’s data!
To Reproduce
- Make a new UserPool with email attribute as required field
- Enable Google federation in UserPool
- Try to login for the second time using hosted ui
- It should give you this error:
email Attribute cannot be updated.
Expected behavior When we use same email address it shouldn’t update email attribute!

It seems after two years of my report, you guys still don’t fix it @sammartinez Actually, I moved away from Cognito a long time ago and can’t test it anymore. It was a horrible experience with a lot of bugs and a lack of necessary features
I can reproduce the same issue. email is not mandatory for my pool, and is selected as readable and writable by my app client. First time login succeeds (and the email attribute on my Cognito user is populated), subsequent logins fail with ‘user+attributes%3A+email%3A+Attribute+cannot+be+updated’ error.
I worked around it by creating a custom attribute called ‘emailaddress’ and mapped the Google email attribute to that.
