I can’t see how copying a code from an email into ‘your browser (in the address bar)’ could possibly confirm your identity.
At best it might prove you received an email…
Copying something into the address bar sounds like an attempt to direct you to a malicious domain.
Was the email addressed to you by name or was it generic?

Yes that’s the email I received and opened a topic: https://sellercentral.amazon.co.uk/forums/t/careful-enquiry-from-amazon-customer-amazon-assistance-email/508192
Some useful links for future reference.

Definitely a scam.
It’s an encoded URL. If you drop it into this website, it will tell you what the real URL is.

Do you check the email it is from? It should show as something similar to
do-not-reply@amazon.co.uk
It should not look something like -
tic8yp5rm2jaluk-uczutm6mjjmraoye@googlegroups. com
In every email you get, Amazon or not, please look first at the address it is sent from.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know why they split the code into two? I assume if they sent it as one string it’d get detected?

Being the nerd that I am, I can tell you those % bits are a way of smuggling characters through. When entered into an address bar they get translated.
%2E becomes a full stop
%6F becomes a lowercase o
So translate those two, remove the space in the middle and you have the URL it is trying to send you to (which I won’t type here).
Definitely a scam.
