Amazon "New" Two-Step-Verification

[Kiroshi]

Is anyone using a VPN having to keep having the code sent to them every time even though the box is ticked to recognise on computer?

Its annoying!

Well hot dog that is great news

[elmo]

Absolutely good news... so far!

We were allowed to turn it off now. It seems like the requirement went away, thank god! lol.

It seems as of today Amazon has not enforced a deadline to activate, good news to all our stealthers

Elmo,

What happen if i don't do it. I saw someone posted his account got suspended because he did not do it. My old sim card has been deactivation, so i'm thinking using a different number to do the verification if necessary

[elmo]

Its no longer a requirement with a deadline... If you see the notification for two-step its been updated

I tried to disable 2 step veri. but after that amz stared to requiring me again, same as first time when its came up so I did it again to not cause problem to my 2nd acc.

What I'm using now is the Hushed app, I paid $30 for 1# unlimited text and calls for 365 days, and then I paid $10 for 2nd number that will expire in 90 days but I can extend it to 365 days as well.

Looks like this will be compulsory from 31st October from the message on account today.

Can someone please clarify if we should be worried? I stared seeing these messages like once a day on all Amazon accounts when log in "On October 31, all accounts must be protected by Two-Step Verification. Add this security feature to your account today to ensure uninterrupted access"

[DuSpast]

Yes I did get the same :(

[dachilla]

So what's the hassle? Google Auth App should be the way to go. Don't really understand why you guys are worried about this.

[ebaysuck]

So is this thing a must to log in after October 31 ?

[dachilla]

I didn't get the message yet

I started seeing the same message on some of my accounts.

Your best / most convenient options are using google voice for the phone # or Authenticator App.

Just make sure to never lose either of them.

This is a bit of a nuisance as I have a holiday coming up and won't have much time to get alternative phone numbers.

I take it the Google authenticator app and Google Voice numbers are free and easy to set up?

Do I need both? Google Voice will provide a back up number? Earlier someone posted that it expires in 9 months without use?

I reset my IP address everytime I change Amazon accounts so presumably I won't have to worry about keeping the phone offline?

[dachilla]

Can we use the same authenticator app for multiple accounts?

[chris100]

How do we get Google Voice in the UK?

Reading through the thread the answer is yes, but keep the app offline as a precaution.
