# Federated identities in the AWS Management Console
<a name="fed-password"></a>

Federated identity users must change their password from an AWS access portal. For more information, see [ Resetting your AWS IAM Identity Center user password](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/singlesignon/latest/userguide/resetpassword-accessportal.html) in the *AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide*.

Federated identity users sign in using an external identity provider (IdP). You're a federated identity if you either:
+ Access your AWS account or resources with third party credentials like Login with Amazon, Facebook, or Google.
+ Use the same credentials to sign in to corporate systems and AWS services and you use a custom company portal to sign-in to AWS. 

For more information, see [Federated identity](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/signin/latest/userguide/federated-identity-type.html) in the *AWS Sign-In User Guide.*.
