MikeRock, thanks for the advice. And what's with the not listing anything for around 90 days thingy? Is there anything that we should be cautious about after creating our stealth account? Is it that we need to take care about sales velocity - not too many sales in too soon a time? Does Amazon really have a sales limit like eBay?

I've also received this message today. Does anyone know if it's mandatory for just Seller Central or all other Amazon service like Amazon Associates, Merch by Amazon ?

Now it seems most accounts are requesting a two-step verification, otherwise your account will be automatically suspended within a couple months of registration.
I have done a couple of them and they are no big deal.

You have 2 options to verify and receive code:
1. Text Message (SMS) - Works best for multiple accounts
2. Authenticator APP

Just make sure to use a phone # that has never been used on Amazon previously and that you have access to.

Remember to keep the phone number live and active, so you don't lose it!
Otherwise you may run into a nightmare if your account is locked and you lose the verification phone #

Any country phone # provider seems to work fine (I tested 3 international #s on the accounts to accommodate international sellers).

After you complete the two-step verification process, you'll be given the option to verify your device. Once your device is verified, you have the option to "remember" it and avoid having to do the two-step verification every time you login with that device.

Keep in mind, any new device added to log into your Amazon account will most likely trigger a code to verify.
That means if you are planning on getting a new laptop, make sure you have access to the verification number you provided them with.

Solutions:
1. Use any phone # you have, any country, as long as it has never been used before on Amazon.
2. Google voice seems to be working (Keep in mind if they are inactive for 9 months you can lose your google voice number).
This is mostly available to USA, UK might have a harder time getting a Google voice # but still possible.
3. Prepaid phones / SIM cards picked up at local stores.

Secure your Amazon account and don't get locked out!

If I use same smartphone and multiple SIM cards:

1 Sim/phone number for each account and switch them on same smartphone, and use it for text message verification,

there is no way amazon can link them, right ?

Thanks

There is no way amazon can link you if this is used multiple times as the app only provides a unique number to the 'code' given

So on each account - 1 new number from a mobile phone and the win auth app should do the trick
