How to Manage Your Amazon Profile
Your Amazon profile collects everything from your saved addresses to your communication preferences. Keeping it up to date prevents the most common ordering and login friction.
Access your profile
Click your name or profile icon in the top-right corner of Amazon, then choose Account or Settings.
Update personal details
Change your name, email, or phone. Amazon may require you to verify the new contact details before they take effect.
Manage saved addresses
Add, edit, or remove shipping addresses. Set a default address so checkout pre-fills.
Manage payment methods
Add or remove cards, wallets, or bank accounts. Set one as the default for one-click checkout.
Communication preferences
Choose which marketing emails and notifications you want to receive from Amazon.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change the name on a Amazon account?
Yes — open profile settings and edit your name. Verification may be required.
Why does Amazon ask for a security check when I change my email?
Email changes are a common takeover vector. The check confirms it is you, not someone with stolen credentials.
