i have one amazon account i'm locked out from because i forgot the name i used to sign up for it (there are numerous ways i could've written it and they only gave me three attempts) and another one that's blocked because i incorrectly filled my credit card details while ordering a gift card and about to just create a third one because they want me to call them and talk to support for both cases.

Password manager with auto-fill can prevent both issues :)

how so? it would just offer me a list of possible combinations of name/surnames.
i could've written them in four different languages (english, ukrainian, russian, polish), and that's not even including transcription into latin for ukrainian and russian.
and also they don't even say if they expect name-surname or surname-name ordering, so the check is fundamentally broken and impossible to pass reliably.

also the password managers usually don't save cvv and even if they did I'd have to disable that feature because I'm using dynamic cvv that refreshes every hour

The password manager suggests the details you saved for amazon, usually at sign-in. It doesn’t just show you a list of everything you ever typed into a form field.
