If your TV or streaming device is asking you to visit amazon.com/code, don’t worry—this is a standard and secure step to register your device with your Amazon account. In some cases, you may also be asked to go to amazon.com/mytv. Both URLs serve the same purpose: linking your TV or device to your Amazon account so you can access services like Prime Video.
What Is amazon.com/code and amazon.com/mytv?
When you install an Amazon app on a smart TV, Fire Stick, or other streaming device, Amazon wants to verify that it’s really you trying to access your account. Instead of typing your full password with a remote, Amazon generates a one-time code on your screen. You’re then asked to go to amazon.com/code or amazon.com/mytv on a computer or phone, sign in, and enter that code. This process confirms that your device is authorized, making it safer and easier to connect than manually entering login details on your TV.
When Will You See This Prompt?
You’ll typically see this prompt when:
- Setting up a new device
- Reinstalling or updating the Amazon app
- Resetting your device
- Logging out and back in
Once the code is entered and accepted, the device is registered and ready to stream.
Is This Safe?
Yes—as long as you’re on the official Amazon website. Amazon.com/code and amazon.com/mytv are secure, legitimate pages used only to activate devices.

How to Stay Safe
- Type the URL directly into your browser

- Never give your login or payment info on unofficial sites
- Bookmark amazon.com/code or amazon.com/mytv for future use
