What is App-to-App Account Linking?

App-to-App Account Linking is the new way rolled out by Amazon to simplify the linking process between Alexa and third-party app, e.g eWeLink app.

What changed?

Before this upgrade, users need to open the Alexa app, search the eWeLink Smart Home Skill, tap to enter eWeLink account credentials, then finally, be able to confirm the linkage.

Now you can connect the two services without having to enter account credentials repeatedly.

How do we accomplish all that in 3 seconds? It's very simple.
