For Django, add this class path to ``AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS``. For other
integrations, use the same class path in the framework-specific backend
setting.

Amazon implemented OAuth2 protocol for their authentication mechanism. To
enable ``python-social-auth`` support follow this steps:

1. Go to `Amazon App Console`_ and create an application.

2. Fill App Id and Secret in your project settings::

    SOCIAL_AUTH_AMAZON_KEY = '...'
    SOCIAL_AUTH_AMAZON_SECRET = '...'

3. Enable the backend::

    SOCIAL_AUTH_AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
        ...
        'social_core.backends.amazon.AmazonOAuth2',
        ...
    )
