Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience with linking my Ring skills to my Amazon account after changing my email address. This was a bit of a puzzle for me, but I managed to figure it out, so I thought I’d pass along what I learned in case anyone else is struggling with the same issue.
So, here’s the situation: I had my Amazon account linked to my Ring skills using an old email address. I recently changed my email in both Ring and Amazon, but when I tried to link them again, Amazon kept telling me my account was already linked to another profile. Ugh, frustrating!
After some research and trial and error, here’s what worked for me:
-
Log Out Completely: First, I made sure to log out of both my Amazon and Ring accounts on all devices. It sounds simple, but sometimes you have to start fresh.
-
Recreate the Link: Once I was logged out, I went back into my Ring app and tried to link my Amazon account again. This time, I used my new email address and password. I was worried it wouldn’t work, but to my relief, it did!
-
Double-Check Settings: After successfully linking, I double-checked my settings in both apps to make sure everything was updated. It’s a good idea to verify that your devices are still connected and functioning properly.
-
Clear Cache if Needed: If you’re still having trouble, clearing the cache on your devices might help. I didn’t need to do this, but it’s worth a shot if the issue persists.
All in all, it was a bit of a hassle, but I’m glad I figured it out. Now, my Ring skills are working seamlessly with my updated Amazon account, and I don’t have to worry about any mix-ups with my old email address.
If anyone else is dealing with this, I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or if there’s another way you’ve found to solve this issue. Happy smart home tinkering!
