- nhumrich 9y agoInteresting. Just reading this now, but it makes me wonder, what happens if you set two accounts to the same password?
- falsedan 9y ago> you can create two accounts with the same e-mail address, but you will get into trouble if you try and give them the same password. I'm not sure what happens, so try it and see.
- stordoff 9y agoI've somehow ended up with three Amazon accounts under the same email address. Two on Amazon UK (which appear to be shared with Amazon US and Amazon DE), and then a third on Amazon JP (which only appears to work there). Very confusing at times (I've ended up putting a deliberate misspelling in my name -- Stpehen instead of Stephen -- so I can tell at a glance which account I'm on).
