Hi Frank --
The solution you detailed (including using Google Voice) worked great for my mom. Thank you so much!
Recently, though, Amazon has asked for authentication/authorization when she attempts to buy something, and it's sending those validation requests to the Google Voice number. This is NOT the "Two-Step Verification (2SV) Settings"... which are not set up for her account.
I can remove the Google Voice number from her Amazon account settings, but I fear doing so would disable her ability to use the Echo Show for calls. I don't see any way in the Amazon account settings to turn off these authorization attempts, or to direct them to her email only.
Worst case scenario - I can authorize on her behalf via Google Voice. Just hoping to find a solution that doesn't add me as a potential blocker.
