Amazon Pay is unsafe to use on other sites. (No OTP for consecutive Transaction)

Amazon Pay is unsafe to use.
RBI mandated OTP authentication for online transaction but Amazon pay still doesn’t do the same and this is really unsafe. 







Seemingly, lot of bookmyshow.com accounts are hacked and they have sent mail as above but Amazon pay not having 2 factor authentication causes bigger problem.

My Bookmyshow.com account was hacked and a Ticket in Diamond class was booked at a different city. Somebody booked ticket at Friday 11:30pm for a 9am show next day.

Update: I will write separate post on what happened with bookmyshow.com and why it isn't a very safe. But Amazon Pay not having 2 Factor Authentication also is unsafe.


Remove Auto Login for Amazon Pay.

Here is what you can do to atleast remove Amazon Pay login - so that you are not defrauded in any way.

Go to Amazon.in -> Your Accounts -> and look for "Login with Amazon"






Clicking should get to page where it will show all Accounts that you have Amazon pay linked with. Domino's, Swiggy, Bookmyshow.



I removed all of them and don't intend to use thru Amazon Pay on any other site till they have 2 factor Authentication.

update: 5/21/2019
Amazon has reverted the charges. but they still do not have a answers with respect why no OTP. Also I have removed any login I had for Paytm account.
