Bonus: Enable 2FA for Your Amazon Account

Amazon’s two-factor authentication is a good way to secure your Amazon account. Once enabled, you will need your account password and a one-time password to log in. It is especially recommended if you notice unknown logins on your account.

To enable 2FA, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your Amazon account.

2. Open Amazon on any web browser and go to ‘Account & Lists’.

3. Click on Account.

Step 3: Click on ‘Login & security’.

Step 4: Enter your current password and click Sign in.

Tip: Besides your registered mobile number, you can add additional numbers. Then, select the relevant number from the options.

Step 7: Click on Get Started after completing the previous steps.

Step 8: Select the mobile number for 2FA OTP and send it.

Step 9: Enter the OTP and click Continue.

Step 10: Check the box to add your current web browser as a recognized device and click ‘Got it. Turn on Two-Step Verification.’

Enabling Two-Step Verification for your Amazon account allows for enhanced security. If you have specific trusted devices, you can disable 2FA for them individually. This means that only the chosen device will bypass the OTP requirement for login, while all other logins will still require it.
