Describe the bug

When installing the alexa media player integration, the last step is to open amazon login page from the local HA instance.
After entering the amazon email address, the password page is show. After entering the password, the email address page is shown and the loop occurs forever.

The address is:
http://192.168.1.10:8123/auth/alexamedia/proxy?config_flow_id=__REMOVED_ID__&callback_url=http://192.168.1.10:8123/auth/alexamedia/callback?flow_id%3D__REMOVED_ID__

I've removed the ID as i'm not sure if it's safe to post here. Replaced with __REMOVED_ID__
To Reproduce

1. Add integration -> Alexa media player
2. enter:
   amazon,co.uk
   valid email
   valid amazon password
   Newly generated 2FA app key
   http://192.168.1.10:8123
   public url blank
   inc devices blank
   exc devices blank
   60
   1.5
   inc devices via echo unchecked
   advanced debuggin unchecked.
3. Submit.
4. Enter the generated OTP into amazon, tick the confirmation box in HA and continue.

At this point, the internal URL opens:
http://192.168.1.10:8123/auth/alexamedia/proxy?config_flow_id=__REMOVED_ID__&callback_url=http://192.168.1.10:8123/auth/alexamedia/callback?flow_id%3D__REMOVED_ID__

and the loop begins:
email address -> password -> email address -> etc..

Expected behavior

Successful integration install.

there is a workaround ...

_" Through trial and error trying to figure out the flow sequence, I was able to trick it and get to the OTP window.
After you've cycled through name, password and back to name, select the option Create Account New to Amazon?
Fill in a first & last name (anything at all as not going to matter so "Q W" is quick and easy to type!)
Amazon will then inform you that an account with your email already exists.
At that point re-select "Sign in Already a customer?" and proceed with the email and password windows and then the OTP window should appear. By that point though, the integration generated OTP has likely expired but you can just enter your current app generated OTP code and it should work.
If it returns to the integration add window and it just sits and spins and never progresses, that likely means the proxy listening session has expired and you'll have to repeat the process."

Enjoy
