Probably for about a month now when I go to sign in to Amazon I enter my username, and before I can enter the password this box pops up. It is asking me to do exactly what I am trying to do??? <https://i.postimg.cc/X7LPVLq6/security.jpg> Anybody else getting this? I looked in the config file but couldn't find anything obvious. Does anybody know how to stop it? -- Science doesn't support Darwin. Scientists do.

I think I've gotten it removed. -- Science doesn't support Darwin. Scientists do.

Looks as though your Amazon account is set to use a passkey? Check within the amazon web site, your account, login and security. I use a passkey in combination with a USB fingerprint reader <https://amazon.co.uk/Kensington/dp/B08J7KXMM8> I wish more websites were enabled for passkeys ... > Does anybody know how to stop it? 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 Prime unintentionally.
