On the days of Amazon's mid-year promotions, many new birds and young men are gearing up to lose weight on their purses. How about protecting our accounts when Amazon is picking up hands?
Account security issues are often overlooked by various Amazon ocean tactics. A friend recently turned to Amazon for help with the fraudulent use of Amazon account gift cards. In the process of excluding various forms of theft, he discovered that the friend's account login email, account password, and receiving gift card email were all stolen by the thieves. He himself was unaware that the time of misappropriation was actually in two or three months. In the past, although several twists and turns to contact customer service to resolve, but unfortunately the interval is too long, it is too late. How to protect the security of your account assets is a compulsory course for readers before they pick their hands.
This topic starts with a text message received early in the morning. When the phone's alarm bell sounded on time, I saw a login verification code of more than 5 points from Amazon. I can't help: Who moved my account? Immediately open the computer to check the account, secretly glad that because of the setting of two-step verification, no loss was caused.
So, what exactly is the two-step verification? How to set it up?
Two-step verification (Two-Step Verification) is a function that has long been ignored by domestic buyers. After entering the login password for an Amazon account, it requires additional authentication via a dynamic password generated by the mobile phone authentication/verifier app, only the password and the second Step verification can only be accessed through the account.
There are 2 alternatives for Amazon's second-step verification: 1) mobile authentication; 2) binding the dynamic password output by the authenticator. The setting method is as follows:
Click to enter the login and security settings in the red box
Enter advanced security settings
Select the method used for the second step verification, and select one of the authenticator and mobile phone verification code.
If the number of the preferred authentication channel is not convenient for receiving information when logging in, it can switch to the second number receiving verification code at any time.
The mobile phone authentication can choose to receive the verification code via text message or voice message, and click Change to enter the modification.
After entering the received verification code, click Verify code and continue to proceed to the next step.
All places where you need to enter your mobile phone number must be selected as China +86 for the area code.
Authenticator settings:
There are two authentication devices recommended by Amazon, Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator. The following uses Google Authenticator as an example.
Just click Add new Authenticator App on the Advanced Security Settings page to enter the Add Authentication Device page:
Download the Google Authenticator app to your phone, open the app to add a new account, and scan the QR code on the device authentication page. I do not know why the mobile phone sweep this QR code is not very agile, can only choose to manually enter:
Google Authenticator's verification code will change over time, do not forget to select "based on time", fill in the upper right corner after the "√" to confirm, it will jump out of the 6 changes over time, on the phone like this:
Put the current 6-digit number of the authenticator into the lowermost dialog box, click Verify code and continue, and the validator is set.
To remove the validator, click Remove and follow the prompts.
In view of the troublesome authentication of the authenticator, if the readers have two mobile phone numbers that are normally used, it is recommended to use the authentication method of the primary+backup mobile number.
It's still very tedious to go through two-step verification every time. Amazon allows you to set frequently used login devices to avoid second-step verification. After you fly your home computer into a common device, you only need to enter the login password as before. Buy, buy, and buy.
Some other tips on account security:
1. Select an e-mail address that is different from the registered account's e-mail address to receive electronic gift cards exclusively.
2. Don't store electronic gift cards in the mailbox for a long period of time. If the number of purchases is too large to be consumed in a short period of time, consider using the form to save the gift card information to your computer and delete the gift card mail.
3. If the gift card is used by itself, select the ready-to-use gift card at the time of purchase and the balance will be directly accumulated to the account.
4. Delete the credit card that is not commonly used in the payment method and has a high credit limit. If necessary, limit or lock out overseas transactions.
See here, if you haven’t set up 2-step verification for your reader’s Amazon account, set it up as soon as possible. Set one minute earlier, the account is more secure.
