To edit your Amazon account information, you need to access the "Login and Security" section and make the desired changes. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Go to Your Account: Sign in to your Amazon account on the Amazon website or app. Navigate to "Your Account" (usually found under your name in the top right corner on the website or in the menu on the app).
-
Select Login and Security: Within "Your Account," find and click on "Login and Security." This section contains all your account's security-related settings.
-
Edit Account Information: You'll see a list of account information, such as your name, email address, phone number, and password. Next to the account information you'd like to update, select "Edit".
-
Follow On-Screen Instructions: Carefully follow the on-screen prompts and instructions to make the necessary changes to your information.
-
Save Changes: Once you've made the desired edits, select "Save Changes" to confirm and apply the updates to your Amazon account.
Example:
Let's say you want to change your email address:
- You would go to "Your Account" then "Login and Security."
- Find the "Email" section and click the "Edit" button next to it.
- Enter your new email address in the provided field.
- You may be prompted to verify the new email address via a code sent to your old email.
- Finally, click "Save Changes."
Important Considerations:
- Password Security: When changing your password, choose a strong and unique password that you don't use for other accounts.
- Two-Step Verification: Enabling two-step verification adds an extra layer of security to your account, making it harder for unauthorized users to access your account even if they know your password.
- Verification: Amazon may require you to verify changes via email or phone, so keep your contact information up to date.
