@kdn102 You just go to www.amazon.com/pin and it will take you to Amazon Video Settings page and on that page it will give you the option to set a 5 digit PIN. Scroll towards the bottom of the page, Enter a 5 digit PIN, Once you click “Save” the changes go into effect immediately. You also have to click “Yes” on the “PIN on Purchase” option (the default is the “No” setting). I tested it out minutes after I updated with a PIN and Yes on PIN on Purchase and sure enough it asks for the PIN when trying to buy video content. So now I can open video content freely in Amazon Prime and the only time it will ask me for a PIN will be for content requiring additional payment.
By the way, please note this is only for video content purchases. I also have an Amazon Echo and I have turned off voice purchasing already. You have to go to alexa.amazon.com and click on “Settings” and then click on “Voice Purchasing” and you can turn voice purchasing on or off there.
So happy to say my Amazon ecosystem components are childproof.
The free video content on Prine isn’t as extensive as I had hoped, but when you combine this video service with the music service and with two day Prime shipping, $56 for a year is a steal. I also have Hulu, so with both services combined there are a lot of shows to watch, with some overlap of course. Thanks OP.
