I’m not sure I succeeded the first time I tried to set up multi-factor authentication on Amazon. If Amazon later detects a login attempt from a device it does not recognize as associated with that account, it will prompt for the code from the second factor - text message, voice call, or app (whichever you choose). Users can instruct Amazon to “remember” each device, which disables future prompts for the second factor on that device going forward.
With multi-factor logins enabled, even if thieves somehow steal your account username and password they’ll still need access to the second factor - your mobile phone - to successfully hijack your account. Multi-factor authentication, also often called “two-step” or “two factor” authentication, is a great way to improve the security of your various online accounts ( where available). Step one of enabling multi-factor identification on your Amazon account.
