Hi, i only yesterday got around to resetting my Mail password to discover several emails telling me about Netflix being added to my account and to "click here" to register. When i clicked, the link said there was a problem.

I called VM Support and they didn;t appear to understand my issue and stated "your registration will be fixed within 5 days". Don;t know how that'll work as VM has no idea what my Netflix account info is.

I've signed out of my Netflix account (everywhere) and reset my password so i'm happy that what's showing on the Netflix channel and App is not my account (it hasn't been hi-jacked). I would though like to view Netflix on my VM box so need the other account to be gone...

Click OK on your 360 remote on the screen that you just posted. On the next screen use the navigation buttons to move all the way across to the left. It opens another side panel. Don't worry about not being able to understand the language/symbols on this screen or the following ones.

I recently changed TV and lost the Paramount+ App (from the TV Apps) and found the App on the VM Box. I then saw the Netflix App and thought, well why not use it, especially as the basic access is free.

Think i have a Tivo Box, the settings above aren;t visible to me. I can select "Home > Settings" but there's nothing obvious to me to find Netflix (I've been thru most of the menu options within Settings).

Netflix used to cast a blind eye toward password sharing, but that blind eye is quickly turning into the Eye of Sauron. Now, Netflix subscribers must pay extra to share their accounts with family and friends outside their household.

The 30-year-old Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (or CFAA) is often cited as a federal law that could make password sharing a crime, and in 2016, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a particular case of corporate password-sharing was illegal under the CFAA.

Starting back in May, Netflix began emailing users in the United States and other regions who are sharing their accounts with people outside their households. The email details how you can transfer a profile to a new account, as well as the option of paying to share your account.

I stopped buying kindle books years ago. I now buy my books from Google Play. They are generally same price. I use adobe digital editions to read them. I seriously hate amazon and if I can source what I want elsewhere, I usually will. If I can support my local high street I will make that my first port of call. Amazon is too big, too powerful and lost its customer focus imho.

You can actually get a hold of the fraud department with Amazon. If they are uncooperative than go through your bank and report Amazon as a hacked account/ fraudulent charges and your bank should be able to retrieve your money. But as for your accounts and all of your content on Amazon. There are multiple ways to get back in but most routes involve calling Amazon and talking to the right people. I share this info becaude I had a customer have this exact same issue.( I work as a fraud specialist for several banks.) I know my reply is much later than your post but hope this helps

I have not seen this so far. I use Chrome to access my Prime account, and my default browser, Waterfox, to track deliveries using the links in the emails from Amazon telling me that my order has shipped and that, by clicking on them, I can go to an Amazon page where I can track them. On both cases, everything is still as it has been for quite a while already. Perhaps this is being deployed gradually and not everybody has been included yet in the new system?

(1) I regularly clear the caches every two or three days and all cookies (no 3rd party allowed) when I close a browser: so far this year close to 1GB of stuff there has gone into the trash and been put outside, by the curb, to be picked up by the urban sanitation squad. If keeping something in the caches for two or three days between cleanings, saves me the annoyances people here are complaining about, then I see no reason to change my current practice. Of course the reason for my being trouble-free may have nothing to do with cookies or with caches, clean or otherwise: Maybe I live a charmed life!

I always logout after each session and start fresh with the next shopping/browsing excursion. These random security sign in requests are part of the Amazon site protection features. I actually appreciate the extra step.

Not asked for a code sent to me before completing my login to Amazon, here in the USA. I just checked. Only asked for my email address and password, as always. But I subscribe to Amazon Prime, so perhaps that makes a difference, rather than my location?

As it was earlier on, so it is now: Not asked for a code sent to me before completing my login to Amazon, here in the USA. I just checked. Only asked for my email address and password, as always. But I subscribe to Amazon Prime, so perhaps that makes a difference, rather than my location? Go figure. Just glad that this is not my problem. So far.

What you and others complaining here are doing? I have absolutely no problems like yours either with Amazon or with AOL, and I am in contact pretty much daily with both and have not been bothered even once in many so-untroubled years already in the way you, it seems, are.

Your lack of having experienced the same rigamarole as the other posters (having to use 2FA) could be from your browser and computer having been fingerprinted over time (years, perhaps?) by Amazon and AOL due to a possible lack of privacy-conserving settings being available in the browser and other software to prevent such a procedure from taking place.

2FA is neither bad, nor adorable: it means some extra work to get connected to a site, and this could be an inconvenience, for example if one has to do something in short order at several different sites that each require a different third bit of personal identification, depending on what type of extra IDs these may be:

I suppose all of this extra inconvenience/annoyance has become necessary due to the amount of Internet related attacks hitting everyone. Hopefully it will not get worse, and maybe even get better as measures are taken against certain countries making the headlines these days.

Because I never have done that, and have had no problems at all using Amazon otherwise. For example, I just logged in to track a package expected today with no problems when logging in or with then with being able to get the tracking information: all normal, as it has always been for years by now, in my case. And I buy all sorts of things and stream shows and movies quite often from Amazon.

I am about to go crazy. I have spent hours trying to get into my Audible account to use my 5 credits. Now I am being asked to put my user name and password in. Then I am told a code will be sent to my cell phone by text. But my cell phone does not receive the code. I have talked to at least 7 agents from Amazon and they all give me security questions that are impossible to answer. Any suggestions short of starting over with my membership which would mean I lose my Audible credits.

I never, ever have had this problem and use Amazon quite a lot, year-round, shopping season or not, both for buying things online (more than before, because now I also have a thing about (a) going to places that might be crowded, (b) Covid and (c) being a Senior Citizen being three things that might not be getting along that well these days) and also Prime for entertainment.

I was not receiving verification codes from Amazon.com or Amazon.ca. I spoke to Amazon password department 1-877-345-3364 and they determined via problem solving with me that I had blocked Amazon on my text messages. She had me unblock it and choose another password and now all is working fine.

They are doing it to me now also. After 4 years of ordering, (I am on disability), they now want verification on every purchase and there is nowhere to verify it. It is getting really annoying and I may just give all of my business to Walmart & King Soopers now who I also order from.

March 19th: just signed out of Amazon, and will continue to do that. It will be interesting to see if I get asked for 2 factor ID every time I sign-in. I will follow up here in a few days.

There is a problem with Amazon and Microsoft Edge. Amazon seems no longer to remember anything on Edge no matter the settings. I can log on and off multiple times per day and every time I get the email verification request.

How do I know it is Amazon not working with Edge? Because this NEVER happens on Google Chrome on the same computer and operating system. And because using Edge on every other site than Amazon encounters no problem.

I had this strange thing happened recently. Amazon sent me an OTP (One time password). The thing is, I use my Amazon account on my laptop, which never leaves my place, I have a private WIFI, and I did not share my account. Plus my last order is not valuable, so no need for the OTP. Should I be worried? I went to Amazon security and I changed my password, but the thing with the OTP still freak me out.

One possibility is that users periodically use the Private or Incognito mode on the browser (typically black url field) . This mode forgets everything each time you exit the browser. Make sure you are in normal mode.
