How to disable voice purchasing on Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant

It's surprisingly easy to make a purchase by using just your voice with an Amazon Echo speaker (less so with a Google Assistant speaker, but we'll get onto that in a bit). Of course, it's one thing when you're aware of this ability. It's an entirely different thing when you're sticking one of these Alexa-enabled devices in, say, your kids' room or your parents' house and your Amazon account is tied in for all of those purchases. You'll probably want to turn off the ability to make Voice Purchases.
