It's been a while since I've set up an Amazon Echo device. Do I need to come over there and teach some Amazon folks about the OAuth Device Flow? There is a better way than making me type my password on this screen!

  @aaronpk it’s very odd since I believe their devices like firetv have this sort of flow implemented. So they know how just for some reason don’t do it?

  Why? It just means it takes a long time and you need to clear everyone from the room ;-)

  Better not use a 24-character random combination of letters, numbers, and symbols with mixed case!

  Oof. The ‘Device Authorization Grant’ would be a big win here. Even better if it had a QR code (or push notification-based permissioning via a separate authorized device) as I’ve seen on other systems.
