Ask HN: Why doesn't Amazon have 2 Step for Consumers?

2 points by cenal 11y ago ↗ HN

They have it on the web services side of the business but not for consumers. Seems like a huge oversight.

This was brought to my attention by a friend who is being attacked by a cyber criminal. The hackers keep calling into Amazon and getting his password reset. He can't enable 2 step to do anything about it.

Close account. Update home router firmware, then get new e-mail account with security with 2 step on chrome. Turn off WiFi if your router has a known flaw that can not be patched = but a new router that is secure.

This criminal has probable discovered some secret aspect of his home/work e-mail account and re-hacks the account.

It might be a WiFi hack?
