Here’s an interesting little nobble that could trip up a person or several.
Alexa will allow people/persons within hearing range to order/buy things on the controlling Amazon account.
If you have Alexa, and if you don’t want someone to be able to say ‘Alexa, buy me a Maserati’, you have to go in to the settings to switch this off.
It’s simple to do:
Go to alexa.amazon.com or open the Alexa app on your mobile device:
Click Settings in the left menu
Scroll down and select Voice Purchasing
Click the toggle beside Purchase by voice to disable the feature
Now then, who wants to buy a Maserati?
“Alexa, disable the disable feature”
“Disable feature disabled”
“Alexa, buy me a Maserati”
