Register a Device on Amazon With a Code: Simple Steps

Start on the device you want to register. Open its Amazon app or account settings, choose Sign In or Register, and look for an on-screen code and a web address. On a TV or streaming device, the code often appears after you select a sign-in option that uses another device. Keep that screen open: the code may expire if you leave it for too long.

On your phone or computer, type the web address shown on the device screen directly into your browser. Sign in to the Amazon account you want linked, enter the code exactly as displayed, and follow any confirmation prompts. Check the address before entering your password; use the address shown by the Amazon app or device rather than one from an unsolicited message.

First, compare each character on the device screen with what you typed; similar-looking letters and numbers are easy to mix up. If Amazon says the code has expired, request a new one on the device and enter it promptly. Make sure the device is connected to the internet, then restart the app or device if a fresh code still fails.

Open the app or device settings and look for the registered account name or email address. If it’s the wrong account, use the device’s Deregister or Sign Out option and repeat the process with the correct Amazon login. Once you’re set up, the Amazon promo code and deal calendar guide can help you plan purchases on that account.
