How to recover Amazon Prime Password

Amazon Prime

Why Can’t I Log into my Amazon Prime account?

If you’re having trouble logging in, recheck your username and password properly or you may need to reset your password.

Here are some things to check if you’re having trouble logging in

  • Email Address: Check your email address if it is in the correct format as username@domain.com  etc.
  • Make sure you’re using the correct email address and the correct password for the account with that email.
  • Check your phone number if you created your account with a mobile phone number, Make sure to include your country code in your mobile phone number.
  • Password: While typing password check CAPS Lock and NUM Lock on your keyboard. Passwords are case sensitive, so “PASSWORD” and “Password” are different passwords. If you’re sure you’re using the correct email address or mobile phone number, you can try resetting your password.

If you have forgotten your password then you can easily reset it on the amazon prime website by following this simple process:

To reset your password:

  1. Go to the Password assistance option
  2. When asked, enter the email address or mobile number you have added to your Amazon account and select continue.
  3. Amazon will send you an email or SMS (you can choose one) which will contain an OTP ( One Time Password ), to verify that only the owner of the account is requesting to reset the password, no one else.
  4. Enter the OTP you received and select continue.
  5. Create a new password.
  6. Your new password is active as soon as it’s created.
  7. The new password you typed will be applicable for all Amazon-related accounts associated with the same email address.

 What is Two-Step Verification?

Two-Step Verification is an extra layer of security to your account log-in.

It is provided by websites or applications to improve security and to make sure that only the owner of a particular account can log in to their account.
