An error occurred calling InitiateAuth operation: Unable to verify secret hash for client

Hi,

I’m trying to use the package using the example you provide… but it doen’t work, what I’m doing wrong?

from warrant import Cognito

POOL_ID = 'eu-central-1_J1HZ86xLX'
APP_ID = '23o6vbtasvacvd7f567go7svfk'
USERNAME = 'user1'
PASSWORD = '@perw1fg'
ACCESS_KEY = 'AKIAI5WPBLQZAQFPLGGQ'
SECRET_KEY = '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'

u = Cognito(POOL_ID, APP_ID, username=USERNAME, user_pool_region='eu-central-1')#, access_key=ACCESS_KEY, secret_key=SECRET_KEY)
u.authenticate(password=PASSWORD)

The settings are fake 😉

The error message is the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Please, update the documentation, it would be nice know about this at the “Getting started” stage.

Try this answer which I posted in stackoverflow. It mention how to create SECRET_HASH in python without uncheck Generate client secret when creating an app.
