Faster account recovery for users

Improving user experience and operations by enabling secure support-driven account recovery.

Problem

  • Blocked accounts required developer involvement, delaying resolution
  • Users could wait hours to regain access
  • Customer support lacked tools to act independently
  • Direct system access (e.g. AWS Cognito) could not be safely granted

Work

  • Identified the problem and initiated the effort to improve the workflow
  • Coordinated with teams to design and deliver a secure solution
  • Enabled support to perform recovery actions within controlled permissions
  • Ensured balance between usability and strict security constraints

Impact

  • Reduced account recovery time significantly
  • Improved user experience by restoring access faster
  • Enabled support team autonomy
  • Removed recurring operational burden from engineering
