"Show product key" button not showing anymore at Amazon

Closed

I just looked at my account and there is no more "show product key" button, which means all the keys appear straight away and I cannot tell which keys have been used. I saw other people reported about it on the internet but I didn't find a way to reverse it.

The help page at Amazon explain that the button should be there so guess I'm missing something...

I reported this to Tony over a month ago and he was supposed to get back to me after speaking to the development team, but he never did. It's a known problem. Sometimes the "show key" button is there, other times the keys are revealed already, yet other times you hit the button but it reveals everything instead of just the key you want revealed. It's a mess and now I'm forced to manually keep track of which keys I've used.

They changed this a while ago. It's really annoying to me as well, since that's how I keep track of keys.

Are we talking about that button in the games library, when you buy a new game?

I got some games from Mayhem sale a few days ago and that button was there.

Yes, we are talking about the same button. I bought some games from the Mayhem sale and the keys of all them was shown to me right away, without allowing to click a button to reveal them. It's pretty annoying when you have a few dozen games.

What a pain in the arse. Thankfully I have a list of my used keys written down for just in case this happens, but I shouldn't have to do that. :u I'll have to go check to see if it's doing that on my account.

ETA They're still there, thankfully. That means less work for me.

Pain in the ass, if you want a refund. (If possible even when there was a button.)

Yeah, kinda of a bother, some indie bundles are like that too, I prefer HumbleBundle's way of showing which ones you've opened...
