title: Can one set email_verified to true in Cognito programmatically? How?
body: <p>When I update the cognito users' email attribute via the <code>updateAttribute</code> or <code>adminUpdateAttribute</code> API, <code>email_verified</code> will be set to false. So I'd like to set <code>email_verified</code> to true programitically.</p>
  <p>My understanding is that it should use <code>GetUserAttributeVerificationCode</code> and <code>VerifyUserAttribute</code> API to set email_verified to true, but I don't want users to enter verification code.

  <p>As far as I see below, it seems impossible.<br>
