Open the service security settings
Your Account → Login & security → 2-Step Verification
Open the two-step verification settings of your Amazon shopping account and choose the Authenticator App option. Follow the displayed setup flow.
Add the account in Authenticator
- Keep the setup screen open. In Authenticator, use the add-account control.
- Scan the service’s setup QR code. On one phone, choose manual entry and copy the setup key instead.
- Give the entry a recognizable account label. Never share the setup key or QR code.
Confirm and keep a recovery method
Return to the service and enter the current code from your new entry. Setup is complete only after the service accepts it.
This guide is for an Amazon account, not AWS IAM. Keep the alternative verification method Amazon asks you to configure.
If the code is rejected
Check the account, wait for a fresh code and check automatic device time. Keep the service setup page open until confirmation succeeds.
