This would be great to see. Should it take the form of a simple "Remember this computer" checkbox on the Confirm TOTP Code part of the component? Wherever the checkbox goes, I'd expect it to be automatically shown if the User Pool has a Remember Devices setting of "User Opt-In".
@nk9, yes, it could show up there, or after the user successfully completed TOTP (or SMS but I haven't tried that MFA config with the new Authenticator yet). I'm not sure which would work best based on API calls. But the next time the user shouldn't have to verify with MFA.
This could be generalized to a "remember me" button when you sign in, in conjunction with mfa if needed. We'll need to look into underlying Cognito feature to check the feasibility.
This feature should be possible since it is currently supported in JS API's: https://docs.amplify.aws/lib/auth/device_features/q/platform/js/
