Immediate access to online commerce applications can be an advantage… or a drawback if the mobile is for shared use or you usually lend it to your children.

How to prevent others from entering my Amazon shopping account
Security is an issue that we must take very seriously when using any application, but when it comes to an app like Amazon, it is advisable to take all possible precautions. If you’re interested in finding out how to prevent others from breaking into my Amazon shopping account , the first thing to do is set up a password that isn’t easy to guess or come by.
Beyond that our password is secure enough, it is convenient to use two-step authentication . In this way we can receive a warning when a third party is trying to access our Amazon profile . To do this, we enter the Amazon app and click on the icon with a doll that is in the lower menu bar, selecting ‘My account’. Then click on ‘Login and security’ and choose ‘Activate’ in the 2-Step Verification section. In this way, we can choose to receive an SMS or an e-mail when someone tries to access the account.
If in your case the use of the mobile is shared with other people or with small children, it is convenient to be very clear about how to close the Amazon app to avoid problems .
How to sign out of the Amazon app
The doubts about how to log out of the Amazon app are more than reasonable, since it is a fairly clean application, but with some very hidden options. When accessing it, we will have to click on the icon with three horizontal lines that we will find in the lower menu bar.
The next step is to scroll to the depths of that section (better if we hide the drop-down menu of shortcuts), until we see the tab called ‘Settings’, in which the flag of the version of Amazon that we are using also appears, in this Spanish case. Next, we select ‘Exit’ and a confirmation message will appear, in which we will have to press ‘Exit’ again to close our session .
It is important to note that this process is only used to close the session in the Amazon application, but it does not imply that all the ones on the mobile have been closed . Many times we can find that it is also open in the browser, so if you want to make sure to close it there as well, in the next step you will find how to do it.
How to log out of Amazon website from mobile
For those who are already logged out of the app or who do not have it installed but want to find out how to log out of the Amazon website from their mobile, they must open the browser from which Amazon was accessed. Once we are inside the web version of Amazon in the browser (regardless of whether it is Google Chrome or any other), the process is faster than in the app.
We just have to click on our name and the profile icon at the top, and a menu will be displayed. In it, we will have to move to the lower area, where we will have the option ‘Exit’. In this case, the session is closed without the need for a double confirmation , so it is much faster and more comfortable.
Why can’t I sign out of Amazon purchases?
Sometimes we may find ourselves wondering why I can’t log out of Amazon shopping . This may be due to a specific failure in the connection of your mobile (always check that the connection, both Wi-Fi and data, is stable) or an error in the application.
Anyway, there is always a way to heal yourself in health. Press the doll icon on the bottom bar and select ‘My account’ within the Amazon app. Go to the ‘Content and devices’ option .
In that window, at the top you will find a tab called ‘Devices’, and you will be able to see all the Amazon apps under your name (Amazon Prime Video, Audible, etc.) and the number of devices they are installed on. Select the app you want to close, and all the open sessions of it will appear. All you have to do now is locate the device you want to log out of and click on its respective ‘Unregister’ button.
How to Sign Out of Amazon on All Devices
There is another way, much more drastic, that will allow us how to log out of Amazon on all devices . Again, you have to access the section of our profile (doll icon in the lower menu bar) and select ‘My account’. In this case, we return to ‘Login and security’ and we will find a section called ‘Account in danger?’, in which we will have to select the ‘Start’ option.
This option will require an extra permission to continue, so Amazon will send us an email. We will then have to go to our inbox and click on the ‘Approve or deny’ link that we will find in that e-mail. The link redirects us to the app and we will have to click on ‘Approve’, in order to reach the final screen, in which we are told the number of applications that have logged into our account. Click on ‘Close all sessions’ and in a maximum period of 15 minutes you will have all the sessions closed on all devices (except in the app from which you did it).
By following these tips you will be able to prevent unwanted access to your Amazon profile , although you also have a much more drastic ace up your sleeve: uninstalling the application. At specific times when your mobile has to be shared, it may be the option that gives you the fewest headaches, and there will always be time to reinstall it when you regain exclusive control of the device.
