Your Amazon Echo smart speaker gives you an easy and convenient way to shop on Amazon with simple Alexa commands. But with this handy feature comes the risk of accidental purchases. Whether it’s you mistakenly asking for something, forgetting that Alexa is listening or someone else who orders something they shouldn’t, it’s a little scary and can be costly at the same time.
If you want to continue to order items from Amazon with your speaker, but want to protect yourself from accidental purchases, you can set up a Voice Code. This tool adds a layer of security in a sense so that orders cannot be placed, nor payments made, unless the code is used.
Here’s how to create an Amazon Echo Voice Code for Amazon purchases.
The Handoff feature in macOS and iOS lets you move seamlessly between devices, but it doesn't work with Apple Music at all.
