![]() So I have several addons in my browsers to stop tracking, impertinent advertising, personal info filching, and so on and so forth. Of course the reason for my being trouble-free may have nothing to do with cookies or with caches, clean or otherwise: Maybe I live a charmed life! If keeping something in the caches for two or three days between cleanings, saves me the annoyances people here are complaining about, then I see no reason to change my current practice. (1) I regularly clear the caches every two or three days and all cookies (no 3rd party allowed) when I close a browser: so far this year close to 1GB of stuff there has gone into the trash and been put outside, by the curb, to be picked up by the urban sanitation squad. ? wrote: “ Don’t you ever clear the cache on your browser or disable tracking? Have you heard of online privacy?” ![]() Has anyone else seen anything like this before? I have also cleared my cache and cookies twice with no effect. Just the verification code and the standard wall of text about Amazon caring about your privacy and security. That is not whats happening here, there are no links in the verification emails at all. What little info I managed to find that sounded anywhere close to this was talking about people receiving forgotten password reset texts when someone was trying to hack their accounts. If I don’t click the button after entering my password, the code never gets sent and if I click the Amazon logo at the top of the page it takes me back to the homepage like I never entered my email and password. This also doesn’t seem to be like what people report with randomly receiving phishing texts or emails purported to be from Amazon. This also doesn’t appear to be directly affecting anything with how the account is actually working and none of the settings have changed. Secondly is that I’ve never had 2FA enabled or any other device except this computer attached to this Amazon account. Not even a few years ago when Amazon was hacked and made everyone change their passwords. The first strange thing about this is that this account is close to 10 years old and I’ve never seen anything like this before. There are 2 things that make this strange. Even after deactivating, it's possible (maybe even likely) that will always keep a record of everything your deactivated account ever bought from the site.Starting yesterday, after correctly entering my email and password I’m shown a screen (still directly on Amazon) with a button which will send a verification code to my email to verify my account. To do that, you'd need to begin using a new account and deactivate your old one. This means that archiving is not a foolproof way to hide the history of buying something from Amazon. Even when archived, the order will still remain in Amazon's system (linked to your account), and it can be seen on your "Archived Orders" page through the desktop website version of .īe advised that if someone knows about how archived orders work and has access to your Amazon account, they can find the orders you've hidden. The only alternative is to "archive" an order, which is Amazon's way of allowing you to hide an order from your main order history. Currently, there is no way to truly delete an order you've placed through Amazon from your purchase history. The short answer is that you can't completely delete an order from your history. ![]() If you've bought something on that you don't want to show up in your order history, you can't delete it, but you can hide it using an "archive" feature.
