AWS cognito forgot password API issue

Question

I am using AWS Cognito's forgot password API and it is working fine. But I am facing an issue when  I sign up with the mobile number, and later on, I add an email attribute to that user pool record and call forgot password API it sends a verification code on the mobile number, but I want it to send it on Email, how can I do this? 

Here is my Code.

AWS_COGNITO.forgot_password({ client_id: ENV['AWS_WEB_APP_ID'], username: 'valid username'})

The #forgot_password takes only two values in hash as per API document

Please let me know if any more information is required.

Answer 1

Check user details using get_user

If "mfa_options[0].delivery_medium" is 'SMS', call "set_user_settings" to update delivery medium to 'EMAIL'.
