I can't sign in

Sometimes multiple accounts are created if you visit Amazon and accidentally indicate that you're a new customer when you sign in. This creates another account with the same email address and a different password. When signed in to one account, you won't be able to see or edit in the other account.

To fix this, sign out of the current account and then sign back in again with the email and password associated with your KDP account. We recommend clearing any saved passwords from your browser before signing in again.

Forgot the password for your KDP account? To reset it:

1. Go to KDP and click Sign in.
2. Click Forgot your password? This opens the "Password assistance" window.
3. Enter the email address or mobile phone number associated with your KDP account.
4. Enter the One Time Password sent to the email address or mobile phone number associated with your account and click Continue.
5. To protect your account against unauthorized access, you may also be required to enter your zip code or credit-card expiration date. After you’ve done so, click Continue.
6. Enter your new password.
7. Click Save changes and Sign-In.

Merge accounts

To have your accounts merged, you need to contact us. We need the title of one book from each KDP account and its corresponding ASIN or ISBN. We'll only be able to move the old account if the new account has complete information. If there are royalties pending in your account, please verify that your name, account number, and routing number are current and match the account information on file with your financial institution. This ensures that you receive outstanding royalties.

After you gather the information we need and verify your account details, contact us. We'll move the old account and then confirm that this is done.

Note: Merging your KDP accounts will move your published books from your old KDP account to your new one. However, it won't move old account information (e.g., tax interview details, sales reports, payment information) to the new account.

Close an account

To have your account closed, you need to contact us. Before we can close your account, you need to unpublish available books. If there are royalties pending in your account, please verify that your name, account number, and routing number are current and match the account information on file with your financial institution. This ensures that you receive outstanding royalties.

After you unpublish your books and verify your account details, contact us to authorize the closure your account.
