DESCRIPTION

The shared_secret utility generates a digest key / password used by the CognitoDevices security subsystem.

When the shared secret is generated, the utility attempts to update its CognitoDevices record. When a shared secret is generated for the first time on a new device, this update should be inhibited using the --ignore-credentials flag.
