Login with Amazon for TVs, Game Consoles, and Other Devices

For sign-in on devices that are unable to launch a web browser (including Smart TVs, gaming consoles, watches, or other devices), Login with Amazon is supported using a programming model known as code-based linking (CBL).

Code-based linking is an authorization method in which your device displays an alphanumeric user code and a URL to a user who wants to Login with Amazon. The user then navigates to the URL from another device (such as a mobile phone or laptop), signs into their Amazon account if they aren’t already signed in, and enters the user code. Once they have finished, your device will recognize that they are authenticated, and will receive an access token which can be used to obtain the user’s customer profile data.

To integrate Login with Amazon with your app using CBL, see Login with Amazon for TVs and Other Devices using CBL.
