Login with facebook button not working

Flipback012 — Sun, 10 Apr 2016 21:47:51 GMT

I'm currently running kubuntu and i decided to install spotify, i have run spotify on ubuntu and kubuntu several times on different operating systems. When i tried to log in this time, I go to press the "log in with facebook" button and absolutely nothing happens. the same thing occurs when i press the "Reset Password" button. I can see the text on the Log in with facebook button get darker as i click it so i know that its not a problem with not being able to click it.

Hey @Flipback0121 Welcome to the Spotify Community. ^^

That doesn't sound quite right.

Try filling in your Facebook details in the username and password field.

Let us know if that helps, thanks! ^^

Peace

Wow thanks that worked on the first try! I didnt think of that before, I thought that the login box was only for the long number that spotify assigned me and a password.

If nothing happens when you click LOG IN WITH FACEBOOK button, you might be suffering from this bug:

If my guess is correct, you can not use the mouse on certain buttons, but keyboard navigation might work. To click the LOG IN WITH FACEBOOK button with the keyboard, keep pressing tab until you see the cursor in Email or username, then hold shift and press tab once to move the focus back one element and press enter.

If this is not your problem or it is, but the workaround doesn't help, go to https://www.spotify.com/account/ and login and check if you have an e-mail address on your account and try to create a password. Then you can probably login with your e-mail address and the password.
