My Question or Issue

Whenever I log into my Spotify account on the Web Player and close my browser, I get logged out the next time I access the site. I have tried two browsers (LibreWolf and Brave) and both have this issue. Solutions found in other related posts, like clearing all cookies and bookmarking the Web Player, didn't work either. I've reinstalled both browsers, changed my password, created a new account but nothing worked. Spotify does create cookies and I have added both open.spotify.com and accounts.spotify.com as exceptions for which not to delete cookies on exit, to no avail.

I am running out of options and this issue is extremely infuriating.

I am experiencing the same issue, closing the web browser logs me out from Spotify Web Player, making using Spotify a really painful experience. By looking at the stored cookies in my web browser, I can see that the "sp_dc" and "sp_key" cookies are stored as session cookies. These two cookies are set when logging in, so are probably the login cookies. Session cookies means the web browser should delete the cookie when the session closes, ie when the web browser is closed. The web browser does what is is told to, the error here is that these cookies are set as session cookies. I am also using LibreWolf, but looking at the network traffic, I can see that Spotify actually tells the web browser to set them as session cookies, so this is not a browser error, but an error in Spotify's login page.

Steps to reproduce: Open any web browser that has cookie support fully enabled. I use LibreWolf. Dismiss the "do you accept cookies" dialog, accepting or rejecting does not matter here. Click Login. Enter email address and password (ie, login using email, not Facebook or anything like that). You are now logged in. Close the web browser and open it again. Go to Spotify Web Player again, it will now be logged out.

This is a bug that the Spotify development team have to look into.

I also get this message every time I log in. When I "Try again", Spotify opens, but really slowly.

This problem seem to have been fixed now. Now I stay logged in just fine when closing the browser.

I had the same issue. But I think I figured out.

Next time you open the Web Player, click Sign In, put your username/email address.

When asked to put a code that you received by email, just ignore and sign in with your password instead.

On my specific case (Firefox on a Apple Silicon) I noticed when I used a code to log in it would lose the login credentials after closing the browser. But if used my password to log in, it will keep the login credentials.

Please try and see if it works.

Hello, for you chrome browser users. this is the fix. if you are already logged in with a google account to your chrome browser, you can

-go to spotify web player

-log in

-on the main home screen, click on your photo (account) in the top right corner, click settings

-youll see account at the top (edit login settings) just below, click edit (the button is to the right of, edit login settings)

- towards the bottom, you will see available login methods, you need to click and follow the prompts to add " google" as an available login method.

- once youve done that, you will be auto logged into your account so long as you are logged into your chrome browser.
