Amazon text password

I’ve always used DH’s Amazon account and ordered stuff, no point paying for 2 accounts. Now I can’t get on as it now sends a text message with a code to his phone.
Has he put this on the account, or is it a new thing on all accounts?

Why don’t you ask him if he’s added it to his account?

Because he’s asleep and I thought I’d ask on here.

Unless we know him though and have discussed password protocols with him how woukd we know?

2FA is a thing, more than that who can say

It should only happen the first time you log in from a new browser or phone. It’s automatic as far as I know but it’s possible he could have updated his security settings to make it happen every time. I’ve never looked in to it that much.

Because I asked if Amazon had put it on all accounts. If you’ve not got an account you won’t know.

Not yet but I did read something the other day about Amazon starting 2 step payment authentication. Which will be annoying as it's my husbands account like yours but linked to our joint account

I've not had this on my Amazon

I think its a new thing, I've had this happen to me this week on my own account on a device I've used before.
