Managing your saved Wi-Fi passwords

When connecting to a Wi-Fi network, you can optionally choose to save your Wi-Fi password to
Amazon. Once saved, we can configure your compatible devices so that you will not need to
re-enter your Wi-Fi passwords for each device. Your Wi-Fi passwords are sent over a secured
connection and are stored in an encrypted file on an Amazon server. Amazon may use your Wi-Fi
passwords to connect your compatible devices but will not share them with any third party without
your permission. Amazon handles any information it receives, including your Wi-Fi passwords, in
accordance with the Amazon.com Privacy Notice.
To opt out of this feature, verify that the Save password to Amazon option is not selected when you
enter your network password.
To change your Wi-Fi password in the future, perform the Wi-Fi setup process again from your
Kindle. Once reconnected to your Wi-Fi network, your updated Wi-Fi password will be automatically
saved to Amazon (if you have not opted out of this feature).
To delete any Wi-Fi passwords that you have saved from this device:
