Amazon.com (or "Amazon", for short) is the most popular all-purpose online retailer. While you can browse the Amazon.com website without having an account of your own, you cannot purchase anything until you have signed up for your account; your Amazon credentials consist of a user name, which is an email address of your choice (that you own, of course), and a password of your choice as well. Once your Amazon.com account is setup, you have the ability to change your password at any time.
How do I change my Amazon password? (Your Amazon.com account password)
Follow these simple steps to pick a new password for your Amazon.com account:
- First, open your web browser and go to "
www.amazon.com
":
- Once the page has loaded, click on the "Your Account" link, found near the top right corner of the homepage: (and most other pages on the Amazon.com website).
- If you were already signed in to your account, you will see a "Your Account" summary page. Otherwise, and most frequently, you will instead see more or less the same page, but with a blank sign in form displayed in the right side of the screen, that looks like this:
- Enter your account user name under "E-mail Address", and type your current password inside the "Password" text field; then, click on the "Sign in" button.
- The same account page will reload, this time showing instead of the sign in form, a "You are signed in as: {Your Amazon User Name}" confirmation message.
- Now scroll midway through the current page, until you see a section labeled "Settings"; the first link under "Account Settings" is "Change Name, E-Mail Address, or Password" - click on it:
- The next screen displays three pieces of information: "Name", "E-Mail", and "Password". Click on the "Edit" button you see on the right of Password and the little stars:
- Here is the Amazon.com password reset form you'll see on the following screen:
- Enter twice the password you want to change to for your Amazon account inside the first two text fields; then (for your security) enter your current Amazon password (just a safety measure to prevent others from changing your Amazon.com password when you're signed in).
- Finally, enter the "captcha" characters inside the last text field, and click on "Save changes".
And this is how easily you can change password on Amazon.com! Just remember to sign in with the new, updated credentials next time. If you are regularly using Amazon from a public computer, it is actually a good idea to regularly rotate passwords to ensure that no-one gets hold of yours.
Quick Amazon Password Tip: Also remember that if you have set your web browser to automatically login to your Amazon account, you will receive an error message if it uses the old password. Just update your settings, and enter your new Amazon.com password, and you are done!
