OT: Sharing Amazon passwords
Sister in law asked for my Amazon Prime password so that she and my mother in law can watch a prime video series.
I've already shared Amazon Prime with my MIL so that she can benefit from expedited shipping. Amazon provides for that. On the other hand, watching a video requires logging into the core account, which also provides access to credit card info and purchase history, and of course, the ability to order anything on Amazon... Thoughts on whether you'd share your Amazon Prime password with relatives (or others)?

Nope.
If I had a family member that was unable to swing a membership for financial reasons and I gave a poo about them I would buy them a membership. If they are just a cheapskate I would politely ask them to pound sand.

My Amazon account was compromised three times within a month and now I am wondering if it is an Amazon employee. I had two unauthorized purchases and they left positive reviews for the items. I did not even know the orders were placed because the same day they were placed, the orders were archived. I found out when the items showed up on my doorstep. I immediately changed my password to a strong password that I used no where else and returned the items. Then a week or so later I had 31 positive reviews show up for an item I did not even buy and that was never ordered on my account. The reviews were labeled unverified purchases. I deleted the reviews and again changed my password to something else. The next day my amazon password was changed by someone and I was locked out of my account. It was as if they were mad that I deleted the 31 reviews. Be careful with Amazon.

assuming they are adults and not starving college kids - shame on them for asking.
being able to stream movies is a luxury of the modern world and not a necessity. keep your personal information personal IMO, just politely say no. Even with people you love dearly, established boundaries are the best way to keep relationships good. good fences make good neighbors, as they say.

Spending it is.  This request came through my spouse, who expected me to hand over the account information. She's pissed at me that I declined the request. Yea, I don't want everyone having access to my account. All sorts of crap will start to show up on my video watchlist. No, I don't trust them to keep the account information safe. And yes, it's stealing. Try explaining that to a spouse. So instead, I told her that Amazon scans for regular video requests from widely separated IP addresses and cancels Prime accounts for sharing violations.

Load up your watchlist with dirty movies and then give them the credentials
They'll never ask again
