From what i understand, that’s the point: you have to use the 2.5.7-snapshot binding (see URL posted above).
I used 2.5.7-SNAPSHOT for logging in, after the login was successful I changed to the 2.5.6.jar again.
I solved a problem not yet addressed here…
With 2.5.7., the login still fails and also includes a “challenge” in addition to entering the password. Even when keying that manually along with Amazon password, it still fails to log in. If you have this problem: it means you have one-time passwords (OTP) set in Amazon as “not required” for the device attempting to login for validation for OH, so it will fail every time.
The solution is to log on to Amazon using a different device (one that that actually logs in to Amazon, like their phone app), then reset your device to require OTP.
That worked for me too!
changing the account.thing ID and reboot
There has been a lot of trouble with the amazon binding the last weeks. @J-N-K and @Trinitus01 spent a lot of time investigating, implementing and testing with others. Most of the problems are solved now, from what i understand.
There were also talks about the OTP and to set your account to “not required”. As OTP has never been supported by openhab up to now, this info maybe a bit hard to realize in this thread.
Maybe this info should find its way into the docs.
I know that @Apollon77 have resolved thoses issues on his alexa-remote library )( so same thing apply for iobroker alexa2 .)
It might be useful to you guy to take a look at his code . But it is javascript
My solution was to delete the amazonechocontrol*.json file in the userdata\jsondb folder. After deleting this file and restart of OH you can recreate your old account thing with the same name.

openHAB just updated from 2.5.6-2 to 2.5.7-7 and now this binding is completely broken for me - just a warning for others who might experience this as well if you update openHAB…
Seems to be a certificate issue, identical to what is described in this community forum post for a different binding that also “broke” when openHAB was updated. Here is the full error code that now appears when I go to the Amazon Echo Control binding configuration URL, in place of where my Echo Devices and serial numbers would normally be listed:

It seems one can “self-sign” the certificate but I’m not too familiar with that process… trying to figure out how to accomplish this now, or might just downgrade openHAB for now…
Edit: Sorry for false alarm, but everything seems to be working again after letting openHABian update Java from Zulu 8 OpenJDK 64-bit to Zulu 11 OpenJDK 64-bit, which is no longer in beta, according to the “openHABian Announcements” info screen. This resolved all of my Java certificate error problems and I am now running the latest openHAB stable (2.5.7-7) again with my Java error issues resolved. Perhaps this information might be helpful should anyone else experience the issues I had when openHAB updated itself.
TL;DR - Make sure you keep your Java updated. 
Edit 2: Well… never mind - the certificate error is back… 
… I’m going to just downgrade openHAB back to 2.5.6-2 for now and call it a night. Sorry for all the posts. Hopefully I’m the only person who is experiencing this issue…
…
Haha, I swear I used the search function! It seems this issue has already been discussed/reported…

See [Java 11 test]: amazonechocontrol 2.5.7-snapshop throws exceptions due to missing cacerts file copying back the cacerts file from Java 8 to Java 11 helps

Thanks! I just tried this now, with no luck 
This link suggests a major purge of everything Java from the system and then a fresh re-install, so I am trying this now to see if it helps…
But it seems the openHABian Zulu-11 installer isn’t properly generating a “cacerts” file at all, so this still may not work. I may try installing Java the old way/directly, without openHABian. Or just go back to Java 8…
I think I’ve solved the problem and everything is working again! Instead of copying the cacerts from the other Java, the approach I found at this link suggested it’s better if possible to totally purge everything Java and then install fresh, letting the certificate store/cacerts file be properly regenerated.
I used the following command to remove all old Java packages:
sudo apt-get purge openjdk* zulu* java-common
and then reinstalled Java 11 via openHABian:
richard@HomeServer:~
$ java -version
openjdk version "11.0.8" 2020-07-14 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Zulu11.41+23-CA (build 11.0.8+10-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Zulu11.41+23-CA (build 11.0.8+10-LTS, mixed mode)
And now everything is online again, I can see my Echo Devices online, and all Echo Smart Home Devices (preview/beta) are working fine as well! 
Fingers crossed it keeps working…
Edit: It worked for five minutes, and now the error is back… 
Edit Again: Everything is working now! Seems to be fixed.
Steps taken to resolve:
-
Update openHAB normally or through openHABian. Then stop openHAB.
-
Purge all Java/Zulu installations:
sudo apt purge openjdk* zulu* -
Make sure you’ve deleted any “cacerts” files on your machine. I used a common file-search program on Linux (Catfish) but you could also use a fancy terminal command to remove all “cacerts” files.
-
Install Java 11 / Zulu OpenJDK manually. For me, on Debian, the commands were:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 0xB1998361219BD9C9 echo "deb http://repos.azulsystems.com/debian stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zulu.list sudo apt update sudo apt install zulu-11
And everything is good to go!

I’ve been running java 11/32 when i updated to 2.5.7 and ran into the same problem. Switching back to 8/32 solved it. I switched forth to 11 again: problem arised. back to 8: problem vanished. From what i understand this is caused by openhabian-config / java install procedure, someone is working on it and we may get a solution the next days.

Thanks! Manually purging all Java/Zulu/OpenJDK and then manually installing Zulu-11 directly from their repository seems to have worked for me (on Debian), and bypassed whatever openHABian configuration script issue is currently botching the install. I’m up and running again!

Thanks a lot! It worked for me too!

The takeaway is:
If you are unable to process the Amazon login during setup of the account thing, i.e. your browser refuses to accept a known good password (and may add a “challenge”), it means the browser you are using for login was set to bypass OTP, i.e. set to “trust this device”.
That is preventing successful login.
Once you re-establish OTP, the login will succeed.
So far, I have not been locked out in OH from after reestablishing the OTP setting.
Thanks a lot! It worked for me, but still no tts on my sonos devices. Only on my dot? it worked up to the beginning of this year. Any possiblity to fix?
I also updated to 2.5.7 today and installed the binding through Paper UI.
Login was successful, but every time talking to my Echo now gives me the following error and LastVoiceCommand is not working (well, perhaps 1 time out of 10):
…and starting my routines also ends in a “too many requests” error again. I think I will finally give up using the binding.
Any suggestions here or is it still being worked on?

You need to switch to master branch for your code to become updated.
Looks good here (java 8/32 to 11/32).
I am on 2.5.7 and still getting the “bad request” warning.
