Usually Amazon only asks for a code if you are on a computer that they perceive as unknown (to Amazon).
That's a fact. They hit me up most every time I log in as I use VPNs that rotate IP addresses every few hours on all my devices. It's the price I happily pay for my virtual anonymity.

That seems to be a sometimes thing with many websites, and I hate it. It's never happened to me with Amazon, though.
I wanted to pay for a $50 purchase on my Lowe's CC, and they wanted a security check, but they weren't able to complete it. Ridiculous.

Same thing happened to me. I tried to send a message that I wanted to stay with my existing password. No way to get message through. So, just changed my password per their request and all is now OK. This morning I got an email from Amazon notifying me that, "per my request", they had changed my password.

My wife and I have no problems either. Have you had a past dispute or something that makes them question who is trying to log in?

I do not experience that at all. I just checked and was able to login in 1 second. Are you a Prime member?
Sorry for your frustration.

Adding to my previous post, you will be asked for additional security items if you log in using a VPN or in Private Mode in may browser.
The very short version is that, for whatever reason, you are not recognized as your usual Amazon-using "self".

It seems to be par for the course at the moment on many sites who seemed to be obsessed with inventing even more hoops to jump through in the name of cyber security. Amazon and Paypal are driving me crazy with this unnecessary nonsense.

Well you're talking to someone who has spent the last 60 years working with computers, room-sized to micro and helped send a man to the moon. So I guess it's all my fault and I'm too dumb to own a computer.

Here are two numbers that I have used to contact Amazon: 888-280-4331 & 888-280-3321
Hopefully, someone there will be able to help you or at least point you in the right direction.

Sorry for your troubles. I have no problems with log in.
In the 1960's my family used to vacation in Bellaire, MI. We stayed at some cottages owned by the Vestal's who I am sure are long gone. Lot's of good fishing stories.

I have never had to get a code for Amazon. I just ordered this weekend. I have never heard of such a thing.

Were you, as someone else suggested, using a computer or device which you hadn't used with Amazon before?

Yup, same here. No need for sign-in code
