Description

I would like to request a feature based off of AWS SDK JS:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/CognitoIdentityServiceProvider.html#adminCreateUser-property

Basically, Cognito pool allows users to access certain things with unauth (unconfirmed) access. Ideally, this requires only signing up with an email (only email and no password), where they should receive an invitation email with a temporary password. This is considered an invitation and the user status is marked as FORCE_CHANGE_PASSWORD.

This works as expected if creating a user from **within the admin console**, but the default signup method for Amplify requires a password to be set. Can Amplify also allow the option to signup/invite user like the AdminCreateUser method?
