What is an activation code?
An activation code is a 6-digit code shown by the Prime Video app. You type it at amazon.com/mytv to sign in your TV without using your password.Top 5 reasons the code fails
Detailed reasons
1. The code expired
Amazon codes are valid for about 10 minutes. If you took a break, the code shown on your TV is likely dead. Reopen Prime Video, get a new code, and retype it at amazon.com/mytv within 10 minutes.2. You mistyped a character
On many TV fonts, 0 looks like O and 1 looks like I. Look at the code twice and enter it slowly. amazon.com/mytv codes are case sensitive.3. You are signed in to the wrong account
Open amazon.com/mytv and check the account name at the top. If it is not the one paying for Prime, sign out and log back in.4. Weak internet on the TV
If the TV cannot reach Amazon servers, the code it displays is never registered on Amazon’s side. Restart your router, then get a fresh code and try amazon.com/mytv again.5. Region mismatch or VPN
A VPN or wrong country setting can make amazon.com/mytv reject the code. Turn off the VPN, confirm your Amazon account country, and retry.Fast checklist
