Twenty years ago, if I would’ve said that Amazon will become the largest online marketplace, people would’ve called me a madman. But luck favors the brave or to put it in Jeff Bezos’ wise words, “I believe you have to be willing to be misunderstood if you’re going to innovate.”

For those of you who are unaware as to what Amazon is, it is the largest online marketplace on the planet and was founded by none other than Jeff Bezos, a self-made billionaire. It all started way back in 1994 when Amazon was just a marketplace for books.

From there, it all went uphill for Jeff and Amazon. Tons of services including your beloved Amazon Prime Video were announced in the coming years. It even has an application by the same name where users can log in to their Amazon account using the app to access the marketplace on the go.

Creating an account on Amazon is child’s play, but still, some people manage to confuse themselves.

In case you are one such individual who wants to create, access, or even recover their Amazon account, well, we happen to have the perfect blog for you as today’s blog will shed light on the login processes along with the password recovery of an Amazon account for all operating systems.

But before we get into that, let us get to know about some of the known services that made Amazon what it is today.

Products and services offered by Amazon

Amazon Prime

In the year of 2005, Amazon announced a brilliant service by the name of Amazon Prime. It was a membership subscription that offered free two-day shipping on all sorts of purchases for a mere $79 per year. Gradually, Amazon launched the service all over the globe. It was launched in Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom in 2007, France in 2008, Italy in 2011, Canada in 2013, and India in 2016.

The Prime membership had a lot to offer apart from just free shipping. Prime photos, Prime music, and Amazon video are some of the major perks of Prime membership. In 2016, Amazon started offering the option of monthly payment for Prime memberships.

Consumer Electronics

Amazon’s very own reading platform. Kindle was launched way back in 2007. In simpler terms, it is an e-reader that downloads content from a certain website via a wireless network. A pretty solid display along with minimal battery consumption is offered by Kindle, thanks to the e-ink technology.

As many as 2.7 million e-books are available for purchase at the Kindle store and this stat is 7 years old, so one can only imagine how many more new e-books have been added up till now. Not only this, the Amazon Fire TV set-top box system was announced by Amazon in 2014.

Apart from Amazon, it also offers streaming services of other OTT platforms such as HULU and Netflix. After this, came a premium smartphone by the name of Fire phone, but the production of this device was discontinued a year later due to the poor reception and sales from people all over the world.

Amazon Echo, a smart speaker that can also be commanded via voice came in the market and took it by storm. A couple of years later in 2016, Echo dot, a smaller and more compatible version of this speaker was launched by Amazon.

Amazon Drive

Known by many as the cloud drive, Amazon Drive, to put it bluntly, is a cloud storage application that offers secured cloud storage, file sharing, photo printing, and file synchronization as well. One can simply use an Amazon account to transfer and manage files and folders from multiple devices such as web browsers, desktop applications, mobiles, and even tablets.

Users from US origin also get the added benefit of ordering photo prints and photo books with the use of Amazon Prints Service.

All in all, Amazon photos is a service that focuses on storing, organizing, and sharing photos and videos. Unlimited storage for photos in their original format, which also includes several RAW files is offered to prime users.
