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.backends.amazon.AmazonOAuth2',
           ...
       )
