Wrong Facebook Account Linked

[redisant]

My wife logged into my spotify account on her laptop and now spotify thinks I'm her and is posting all of my listening to her facebook account. I saw other people have the same issue and support has to disconnect them since there's no actua real disconnect button in the preferences of the application. 

Can someone disconnect my wife's facebook from my account please?

Hello there,

That should have been taken care of now - Check your account!

[redisant]

Thank you David. This method of doing things is really not a convenient thing for users or Spotify staff such as yourself. Is there going to be an improvement to this? Automatically grabbing the facebook cookie from the machine is really not a great plan. I'd like to be able to manage the account myself when stuff like this happens.

Thanks again for the help though.

What exactly causes a Spotify account to be linked to Facebook? The only methods that should link a Spotify and Facebook account should be that the user clicks "Connect to Facebook" in Spotify preferences or the Spotify website. Obviously there's some secret methods as well because users keep getting accidentally connected to Facebook without their approval.

Why is this happening? I do NOT want Spotify to ever get connected to Facebook and there's obviously a way that this can happen without the user's consent. Stop this.

redisant - There certainly is. Under the Preferences menu, there should be an option under the "Social Networking" tab called "Disconnect From Facebook"

Stupify - Spotify would only connect with Facebook on consent of the user. Such consent would be -

* Creating a new account

* Connecting an older account to Facebook in the Spotify Client (Preferences menu, various "Connect to Facebook" buttons, clicking on "Get Started" on the "People" section

* Clicking on one of the Spotify Play Buttons over on Facebook. 

* Logging in with an email address rather than your username.

Although in the last two cases, you'll see the prompt below. To get through to the client, some things need to be accepted. By clicking on the "Are you <USER>? Please login", it will connect that username to the Facebook account in question. By clicking "I'm new to Spotify, let's go!", it will create a new account connected to aforementioned Facebook account. By clicking the "X" at the top of the box, it will log you out.

David, While that button is there now, when I was having the problem I assure you that it was not. The "Connect" button was there and didn't work.

Hmm, not too sure why it would have disappeared...

Hey!

I have the same problem with wrong facebook account linked to my spotify. It's my mothers, her name is in the profile box on the top right of the screen when I log in. When I look in the Preference option it says: Connet to Facebook, but when I try it fails. 

I feel like i've reached a dead end. Can someone help me?

Cheers

[fantasaga]

I got the same issue when I made an account for my baby brother, his FB account got linked to my spotify. Is there a way to unlink this myself ?

/P

Hey there!

Absolutely. You can unlink Facebook account easily. Go to Edit and then to Preferences. Then scroll to bottom and Disconnect from Facebook.

I hope I made your day with this answer.

Have a nice day!

There certainly is. Under the Preferences menu, there should be an option under the "Social Networking" tab called "Disconnect From Facebook"

This is not an option on my spotify.  I have two facebook accounts and I need to disconnect my Premium Spotify account with my facebook with the email thatsmrskelly2u@live.com and sync it with my current facebook account with the email wildchild50476@live.com

Can someone please help?! 

Thanks!

HI thatsmrskelly2u - There seems to be a bit of confusion here regarding connecting/ disconnecting your Facebook. 

This option is only available for users that signed up without Facebook and created a unique username. If you joined through Facebook that option won't appear. Disconnecting is not possible. 

If you need help with a new account you've created please fill out the contact form. We can then help via email.
