Auth0 will run an export for you, but you have to file a support ticket for them to do it, and it may take them a bit of time, so you may end up with some users who get reset to a slightly old password (if they change it between the export and your import) or if you get a new registration.

Given all the pain I've suffered working with both cognito and auth0, I can't imagine a reason for using either in $currentyear.

Yea I went through this as well - when I tested it, they also required you be on a paid plan to even be able to get the export, which is kinda crazy. I work at an auth company now (Clerk) and this experience drove our current approach, which is that you can instantly export all your user data through a button in the dashboard. Maybe it's not as "sticky", but I think respecting your users when they want to get their data or migrate off is way more important.
