!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] lets you easily add user sign-up and sign-in and manage permissions for your mobile and web apps. 


[{$pagename}] supports:
* [Single Sign-On]
* [OpenID Connect]
* [OAuth 2.0]

You can create your own user directory within Amazon Cognito, or you can [authenticate] users through [Social Identity Providers] such as [Facebook], [Twitter], or [Amazon]; with [SAML] identity solutions; or by using your own identity system. In addition, [{$pagename}] enables you to save data locally on users' devices, allowing your [applications] to work even when the devices are offline. 

You can then synchronize data across users' devices so that their app experience remains consistent regardless of the device they use.
