## Account linking
Alexa needs to link your Amazon account to your Home Assistant account. Therefore Home Assistant can make sure only authenticated Alexa requests are able to access your home's devices. In order to link the account, you have to make sure your Home Assistant can be accessed from Internet at port 443.

- Return to the [Alexa Developer Console][alexa-dev-console], go to `Alexa Skills` page if you are not.
- Find the skill you just created, click `Edit` link in the `Actions` column.
- Click `ACCOUNT LINKING` in the left navigation bar of build page
- Do not turn on the "Allow users to link their account to your skill from within your application or website" switch. This will require a Redirect URI, which won't work.
- Input all information required. Assuming your Home Assistant can be accessed by `https://[YOUR HOME ASSISTANT URL]`. For Alexa account linking, by default, the standard port 443 is used. Use your firewall to forward this, if needed:
- `Authorization URI`: `https://[YOUR HOME ASSISTANT URL]/auth/authorize`
- `Access Token URI`: `https://[YOUR HOME ASSISTANT URL]/auth/token`
- Input all information required. Assuming your Home Assistant can be accessed by `https://[YOUR HOME ASSISTANT URL][:PORT]`, where `PORT` is the TCP port. The port can be omitted if it is `443`. For Alexa account linking, by default, the standard port 443 is used by default. Use your firewall to forward this, if needed:
- `Authorization URI`: `https://[YOUR HOME ASSISTANT URL][:PORT]/auth/authorize`
- `Access Token URI`: `https://[YOUR HOME ASSISTANT URL][:PORT]/auth/token`
Although it is possible to assign a different port, Alexa requires you use port 443, so make sure your firewall/proxy is forwarding via port 443.
Although it is possible to assign a different port, it is preferable to use port 443, so in that case make sure your firewall/proxy is forwarding via port 443.
