1. Login to Amazon Developer Portal - developer.amazon.com
2. Click Alexa -> Alexa Voice Service -> Get Started
3. Click Create Product.
4. Fill-in these values and save:

On this page you'll provide information about your product. In this case, the Alexa PC project.

1. Product Name - The display name in the developer portal, type Alexa Workshop.
2. Product ID - Type: alexa_workshop.
3. When asked if your product is an app or device, select Device.

6. Enter a brief description. For example: My first Alexa project.
7. When asked how users will interact with your product, select Touch-initiated and Hands-free.

Security Profile

On this page we'll create a new Login with Amazon (LWA) security profile. This associates user data and security credentials with one or more products.

1. Click Create New Profile.
   

2. Enter a name and description for your security profile, then click Next. For example:

   • Security Profile Name: Alexa Voice Service Sample App Security Profile
   • Security Profile Description: Alexa Voice Service Sample App Security Profile Description

   Note: These are suggested values. You provide custom information for Security Profile Name and Security Profile Description.

   A Client ID and Client Secret will be generated for you.

3. Enter your Allowed origins and Allowed return URLs.

   • Allowed Origins: Click "Add Another" and then enter https://localhost:3000 in the text field that appears.
   • Allowed Return URLs: Click "Add Another" and then enter https://localhost:3000/authresponse in the text field that appears.
   • Click Next

You are now ready to generate self-signed certificates.
