Federating your account means using compatible accounts that can be linked to a service in order to expedite account creation and sign in. Amazon Games iD supports federation and account linking with these Compatible Accounts.
Important
- Your game progress becomes tied to your Amazon Games iD account. Unlinking your account in the future will impact your game progress.
- Your purchased and earned in-game items will be tied to your Amazon Games iD account and can be accessed directly through your Amazon Games iD account.
- There is a 365 day cooldown period between linking a different compatible platform account to your Amazon Games iD. Make sure to verify you're linking the correct accounts to avoid being stuck with the wrong account linked to your Amazon Games iD.
- If you use federation and have multiple platform accounts you wish to use with your Amazon Games iD, it is advised to link those in the Account Linking section to avoid creating new Amazon Games iD accounts when federating.
- Example: Federating with your Xbox account to create an Amazon Games iD, and then link your Steam account to that Amazon Games iD before federating with your Steam account.
- If you create an Amazon Games iD account using this method and you don't want to setup a specific Amazon Games iD password, you must keep your linked platform account in order to continue accessing your Amazon Games iD.
- Some compatible accounts you federate with may require email verification.
