    You should see: The new PIN is saved and older PIN prompts accept the new code.

Extra tips

What to look for: Prime Video asks for a PIN for playback or purchases, and the old PIN is unknown.

Before you change anything: Use the Amazon account that pays for Prime Video. Prefer a browser on amazon.com over random “PIN unlock” sites. Choose a PIN you can store securely. Never share your Amazon password with unexpected callers.
