Random items getting added to my cart in Amazon

Logout of all devices and change password too for safety.

Disable browser extensions (Price trackers, tab reloaders and such)

Any of your family members using your account (incl Prime?). My Prime account is used by all my family-4/5 members and similar random things were being added to cart. Later realized, it was done by my wife who was also logged into her Amazon account but my cart was being filled, courtesy of prime linkage.

Yup, same happens with me.. i have shared prime with my relatives and that automatically sign-in for Amazon app and they start shopping with my account without even realising

Just check the devices logged in on your account, log out of all others if it is just you using.

New ads/marketing strategy. 1/2 extensions started this last year and now a lot many are doing it. Not harmful (no different than "Add to cart" ones) but its annoying to see multiple products in bulk quantities in the cart

In account settings, find logout from all the devices

Even if you share the account for Prime Benefits, it will change the login in all the Amazon related apps.

Same thing happening 😒

Keepa... It's definitely keepa💁🏼 (atleast for me)

disable it for a period and see for yourself that no longer random item (in quantity of 1000s) added to the cart

Yeah, noticing random items added in bulk. Not something anyone would normally purchase.

Do you have alexa devices in your home? It may be possible someone is adding the items through voice commands

Log-out from all the devices & when you will need to login to Amazon, ONLY use the "Incognito" mode or "inPrivate" mode if you are using Edge browser...In mobile browsers also, you can use this feature...

After you are done visiting, buying etc on Amazon, just close the browser & nothing (cookies, login details etc) will saved in your computer...In this way, you won't have to disable any extensions from your browsers because by-default, all the extensions stay disabled when you are browsing in the Incognito/InPrivate mode...

Also enable 2-Step Authentication in your Amazon settings...Whenever someone will try to log-in to your Amazon account from any unsaved/unknown/new device, you will get an OTP in your mobile to login...I have 2-Step/2FA enabled in all the sites (& Gmail) where they support this mandatory security feature...

I did not disable. it has not harmed me so far. Keepa is more useful . why remove it?

I use, seems like yesterday random product added to my cart too

Ask your friends or family to see who is using your account, and then you'd better change the password of your account.

yes.. so keepa is the culprit?
