Amazon's process is becoming more flawed as it grows. Originally for protecting against unauthorized purchases (balancing the write off of fraudulent purchases vs losing customers because of excessive security), it no longer works when the same account is used for their cloud services.

Excuse me while I delete all of my files from Amazon's Cloud Drive...

Exactly. Amazon has very good protections against someone ordering things with your credit card to their address, and that used to be their primary exposure. Not so much anymore.

Use a different account for cloud services (which most companies would already do) and use two factor auth. Easy breezy.
