Pretty much what the title says, my parents have prime and I don’t so I have their account on my phone. We are not in the same household, completely separate emails and such. They do not have access to my account.
When I search something or view something on my account, I notice it shows up on their account as well, and vice versa. I’m a 27 year old woman so I’d rather not have my parents see everything I look at or search (I might have searched up vibrators and damn near had a heart attack when I went to my parents account and first thing that popped up was a huge ribbed dildo saying “view again”, lol…). Anyway to stop this? And yes I have deleted the search history but I’d like to not have to do this everytime. Thanks in advance :)
This just happened a couple of minutes ago. I was searching for a specific main-follow plug board on my PC. I came across some results on Amazon, and clicked on them. When I searched something completely different a few minutes later on Amazon using my smartphone a "continue where you left" message popped up, and they showed me the plug board I had looked for on my PC, as well as my search term. I'm using Firefox on both devices and have some privacy add-ons installed. I'm not logged into my Amazon account on either of my devices. Also my browsers clear all cookies and website data everytime I close them. Only my history gets stored (and synced via Firefox sync). But as far as I know they can't read the browser history. I'm living with my parents and my brother, so there are several other devices that use the same ip - but nothing happened on my brother's phone. So how could Amazon know my phone and my PC both belong to me, and show me the things I searched on my PC on my phone? And how can I prevent this from happening again?
Click on "Your Account" in the upper right of the main page.
At the bottom, click "View and edit your browsing history"
This isn't visible in my Account menu. There is a Tab in the .com version called My browsing history, but not in the .co.uk implementation of the site.
In neither case could I find what I know I have browsed for.
Did they remove this? How do I navigate to it now?
I had two Amazon accounts from two different countries a while ago. I deleted one of them 5+ years ago.
Recently I got a notification from Amazon that someone was trying to login to my account and it provided the 6 digit code. Only it went to the email address of the old account.
So I go and try logging into that account myself. I noticed if I entered what I remembered the password to be, it would send me a verification email. Then if I entered the 6 digits, it would clearly say that my account is closed and I need to contact support.
If I entered a random string instead of my password, it would just say the account doesn't exist.
So they still have a record of both the email and password I was using a good 5+ years ago.
Dodgy fucks.
