Using Steam Login with Cognito via AWS GameKit UE plugin

I’m using AWS GameKit to set up database and S3 storage for my multiplayer game, but by default it forces users to either create a login with email/password or to log in with facebook. Basically it just sets up a cognito user pool that can accesses various API gateway endpoints that run lambda functions to interact with dynamo/s3.

I’ve already set up steamworks and am using the advanced sessions plugin in my game and I’d like users who are playing through steam to not need to log in. I would have thought that integrating steam and cognito would be a very common need, but I can find almost no information online about doing it (one 2.5 hr video that is translated) so I am wondering if there is a reason that people aren’t frequently using steam + cognito or if someone can recommend a good tutorial on setting that up.
