My Question or Issue

I opened a issue and message Support about this.

When I go to Spotify Dashboard, it says that I need to confirm my e-mail address, but I am already confirmed...

How do I do this?

Okay, so, while we all wait for this bug to be fixed by Spotify's Dev. team, I found a workaround solution.

It's ugly, boring and really annoying, but it solves the issue.

Here's what I did, step by step to manage to "force" a new confirmation e-mail to be sent:

- Access https://www.spotify.com/us/account/login-methods/

- Have at least one login method that uses a Third-Party Application (Either Apple, Facebook or Google.)

- Delete (Yes, delete) the login method "Email and Password".

After deleting it, you will see only the Third Party Apps login methods.

- Log-off from your Account.

- Clear the cache completelly (Using CTRL + SHIFT + I > Application > Storage > Delete Everything)

- Login again, go to https://www.spotify.com/us/account/login-methods/

- Add Email and Password method again.

After doing this, I received the verification link, and after clicking it, https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard now let's me create my app.

It's really annoying but it's what we have, so far.

It will be of course, much better when the verification on our account gets created automatically when using Third Party apps, since when login in with Google/Facebook we don't receive a confirmation link for our E-mail Address.

There is another method. you must sign in your Spotify account in the phone, and go to the developer and there you can verify your email, account don't use your loptop or computer because there is no verify button that sends you a mail that verify your account. Just click it once so that you can get the mail and confirm the verification after that log in your Spotify account in either loptop or PC and go to the developer there you can see that you can now create an app

Sorry about my grammar by the ways

Wow! You are correct. Bizarre I get the email on my phone, but NOT on my desktop.

I only had facebook login(without password) went to "edit login methods": https://www.spotify.com/us/account/login-methods/ and add my email and password there
re-logged to https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard and no need to verify email.

ps: still can't create an app: Note: New integrations are currently on hold while we make updates to improve reliability and performance.
