Overview

Amazon sellers must keep their login details current to avoid missed notifications and protect against unauthorized access. This guide walks through the exact steps for modifying the email address and password linked to a Seller Central account, and highlights the role of two‑step verification. Updating credentials promptly helps maintain account health and prevents disruptions to daily operations.

Key Points

• Self‑service updates — Sellers can change both email and password directly from the Login Settings page without opening a support ticket.
• Two‑step verification trigger — Accounts with MFA enabled will prompt for a security code before any change is saved, adding an extra safeguard.
• Current password required — When swapping the email address, the system asks for the existing password to confirm the requester’s identity.
• Double entry for new data — Both the new email and the new password must be typed twice to ensure accuracy and avoid typographical errors.
• Immediate effect on notifications — Once the email is updated, Amazon routes all future alerts, policy updates, and buyer messages to the new address within minutes.
• Password strength matters — A robust password (minimum 8 characters, mix of letters, numbers, and symbols) reduces the risk of account compromise.

How to Update Login Credentials

Changing the Email Address

1. Open Login Settings — Log into Seller Central, hover over the gear icon, and select “Account Settings.” Then click the “Login Settings” tab. Example: A seller logged in as [email protected] navigates to this page to start the change.
2. Select Edit for Email — Locate the email field, click the pencil icon beside it, and a pop‑up form appears. Example: The form shows the current address [email protected] ready for editing.
3. Enter New Email Twice — Type the desired address (e.g., [email protected]) in both “New Email” and “Confirm Email” boxes.
