Troubleshooting Guide
Create an Amazon passkey and test it the safe way
Amazon is a high-frequency account for shopping, payments, and household access. That makes a passkey useful, but it also means setup mistakes create real friction fast.
Quick fixes
- Create the passkey from Amazon sign-in and security settings.
- Use the device and browser you actually use most for Amazon.
- Test one clean sign-in immediately after setup.
- Keep backup sign-in options active until the passkey works on at least two devices.
Why Amazon passkey setup should be tested immediately
Amazon accounts are often used across phones, laptops, and family-shared devices. If you create a passkey in one browser context and never test it, the first failure usually happens when you are trying to complete a real purchase.
A clean sign-out and sign-in right after setup is the fastest way to validate that the credential is stored where you expect.
Backup planning for a household account
If multiple people rely on the same Amazon account, document who has access and which device stores the working passkey. Do not assume everyone can recover the account the same way.
Keep one fallback path until you confirm passkey access from your main phone and one secondary device.
