Looks as though your Amazon account is set to use a passkey?
Check within the amazon web site, your account, login and security.

I wish more websites were enabled for passkeys ...

Delete the passkey at the amazon site, it will keep offering to recreate 
it, using similar "sneaky" UI tactics they use to get you to sign-up for
