Amazon implemented OAuth2 protocol for their authentication mechanism. To enable python-social-auth support follow this steps:

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