Yes, when it hears "Alexa", it will respond to anyone. You can change the activation word from "Alexa" to something more personal or unique to avoid that. The news was playing on the TV the other day and they talked about Amazon's record sales and they said "Alexa" during the news broadcast and she turned on.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes anyone can say "Alexa" and she will answer. I have the echo dot too and she answers to my husband as well.

I am...I tell her good morning and tell her good night and she answers. Its really cool.
