Login with Amazon Authorization Code
Note: This documentation is for
developers integrating Login with Amazon features into their apps. This isn't a customer support page. If you're a Fire TV or Fire tablet customer and you're having trouble entering your Fire TV authentication code, add a post in the
Amazon Digital and Device Forum to request help. Alternatively, contact
Amazon Customer Service.
An authorization code is sent to a client as the first step in an Authorization Code Grant. When the client receives the authorization code, it calls the Login with Amazon authorization service
with the code, their client identifier
and client secret
.
The authorization code is useless by itself, and therefore any malware that intercepts the authorization code cannot impersonate the client to gain an access token.
