9.2 Credential Storage
Also available via the Security screen, the Credential Storage option is provided for users who
are connecting their Amazon Fire to a Microsoft Exchange-based account.
While this won’t apply to many users it is nevertheless a useful feature, but you will require the
assistance of your network administrator to assist in the correct configuration of

9.3 Changing the Device Owner and Resetting Your Amazon Fire
However regularly you use your Amazon Fire, there may well come a time at which you decide
that you need to make some changes.
These changes might be severe — you might sell your tablet — or they might be more functional,
such as applying an update.
Changing the account on your Amazon Fire means deregistering the device, which can be done
via
Settings > My Account
. Once an account is deregistered, a new Amazon account can be
entered, or setup as described in 2 Setting Up the Amazon Fire. This will then prompt the device
to sync the new owner’s purchased content — books, music, videos, etc. — while the previous
owner is forgotten.
However, when changing device owners you should be aware that any data you have
downloaded or synced to the device from your computer or the web (but not Amazon) should be
removed. Opening
Settings > Storage
displays your Application Storage and Internal Storage
levels. Not only does this give a good idea of the space you’re using up, whoever takes your
device over won’t necessarily want all of your files cluttering up the Amazon Fire!
