Last updated: Jul 31, 2022
You are not obliged to continue using the Amazon Echo Show device with the same registered account. You are prompted to link your Echo Show device to an Amazon account while configuring it. If you subsequently decide you'd want to use a different account for your device, you can modify this setting.
The steps to changing your Amazon account are rather basic and are detailed below. Either the Echo Show 5 device itself or the Alexa app on your phone can be used to do this task.
Via Alexa App
Step 1: Tap on More in the Alexa App
You must tap on More in the Alexa app after opening it on your phone. On your phone's screen, it is in the bottom right-hand corner. Its icon is composed of two and a half horizontal lines.
Step 2: Tap on Settings
