Instead of it going to a second screen and saying вЂњcode sent, enter hereвЂќ, however, it just shows a failure message:

IвЂ™m logging in myselfвЂ¦ДЄ click on the bright orange вЂњSign InвЂќ button and it should proceed to the send a secret verification code phase, right? This produces a login screen, nothing exceptional here. Since you already have an Amazon account, you want to sign in, accomplished by tapping on the вЂњ Sign InвЂќ button on the lower left. In any case, tap on it to launch the Kindle app and it shows a generic startup window: Okay, so вЂњnemesisвЂќ might be a bit strong! Weird.ДЇirst off, your nemesis, the Kindle app for Windows: Now, tap the 'pin to start' option from the displayed menu. First, open your library and press and hold the eBook you want to pin. Google has you create temporary passwords on a per-app basis, but whatВ Amazon does with the Kindle app is rather unique: you actually append the code sent to the end of your password to log in to the Amazon system within the Kindle app itself. The Amazon Kindle app allows you to pin the eBook youre currently reading on your Start screen for quicker access. Unless the app doesnвЂ™t support the greater security, in which case youвЂ™re somewhat left in the cold.Дifferent companies deal with this situation differently. You log in regularly with your account and password (the вЂњwhat you knowвЂќ part), then the server sends a 4-6 digit one-time code to your cellphone (the вЂњwhat you haveвЂќ part) that you then also enter on a secondary screen to prove youвЂ™re the real user.

Until Amazon releases a real Windows 10 app, its probably the best way to read Kindle content on a Windows tablet.

You might want to try the Kindle Cloud Reader using Microsoft Edge to see if you like the experience better. The idea of 2-step verification is certainly easy, movingВ your security to a вЂњwhat you knowвЂќ and вЂњwhat you haveвЂќ status. The Kindle desktop app is just not suitable for tablets, IMO. Amazon isnвЂ™t the first company to offer the improved security of 2-step verification in a way that results in all of its apps to then have to be updated rather significantly to support the better user security system.
