AWS Builder ID now supports Sign in with Apple

AWS Builder ID, your profile for accessing AWS applications including AWS Builder Center, AWS Training and Certification, AWS re:Post, AWS Startups, and Kiro, now supports Sign in with Apple as a social login provider. This expansion of sign-in options builds on the existing Sign in with Google capability, providing Apple users with a streamlined way to access AWS resources without managing separate credentials on AWS.\n

With Sign in with Apple integration, developers and builders can now enjoy access to their AWS Builder ID profile using their Apple Account credentials. This enhancement eliminates password management complexity, reduces forgotten password issues, and provides a frictionless experience for both new user registration and returning user sign-ins. Whether you’re accessing development resources in AWS Builder Center, enrolling in certification programs, participating in community discussions on AWS re:Post, exploring startup resources, or using Kiro to code your next app, your Apple Account now serves as a secure gateway to your builder AWS journey. 

To learn more about AWS Builder ID and get started with Sign in with Apple, visit the AWS Builder ID documentation.
