Where is KDP author login?

Kindle Direct Publishing login is at kdp.amazon.com. That is Amazon’s dashboard, not AuthorShelf.

Where is the Amazon author dashboard?

Use kdp.amazon.com for KDP Bookshelf and author.amazon.com for Author Central. AuthorShelf Portal login is for production on AuthorShelf packages.

Author Portal Login (Not KDP or Amazon Author Dashboard)

Sign in to the AuthorShelf Portal for production. If you need KDP author login or the Amazon author dashboard, that is Amazon — official links below.

KDP author login / Amazon author dashboard

Search mixes three different logins. Use the official one:

KDP author login, KDP Bookshelf, KDP dashboard: kdp.amazon.com — Amazon’s self-publishing dashboard.
Amazon Author Central: author.amazon.com — your public Amazon author page, not production files.
AuthorShelf Author Portal: production (phases, eProofs, messages, royalties after Title Live). Sign-in button above.
