If you do not want to save the key on Amazon and automatically use it on other Dash devices that you will purchase in the future, remove the check mark from the item Save password on Amazon.

How do I order a product with the Amazon Dash Button? Simple, by pressing the button on the latter! The acceptance of the order is confirmed by notification on Amazon and via the light on the Dash Button, which first flashes white and then turns green. If the light does not turn green but red, it means that the order was not successful because the product is not available or because there are connection problems with the Wi-Fi network.
By default, the Amazon Dash Button allows you to do only one order at a time: this makes accidental key presses harmless and prevents unwanted orders from being sent. In any case, if you want, you can deactivate this protection measure.

Personally, I do not recommend deactivating the protection against multiple orders, also because the Amazon Dash Button is designed to be easily accessible by everyone (it has a hook and an adhesive strip to attach it to walls, shelves, etc.) but obviously you decide which solution best suits your needs.
Know, however, that you can cancel orders placed through the Dash Button before the products are shipped by following the standard procedure for canceling orders on Amazon, then by going to the section My Account> My Orders of the Amazon website or app and clicking on the item to cancel the order.
