Description
Affected app
Name: Kindle for Android
Package id: AmazonKindle.com.amazon.kindle.services.authentication
Describe the bug
I tried to log in to my Amazon account to download my books to my Kindle for Android app. The login screen briefly shows and then disappears (goes back to the MORE screen which shows Sign In With Amazon option).
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open the Kindle for Android App
- In the lower right corner of the screen, click on MORE
- Click on 'Sign In with Amazon'
- Briefly, the Amazon sign in screen shows and then it disappears again.
Expected behavior
I expect the Amazon log in screen to remain on the screen so that I can sign in with my username and password and obtain my books from my Amazon account in my Kindle for Android app.
