Error code: auth:3

OctoVeemo2020 — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 22:19:50 GMT

Ok so-

I've tried for AGES now to login on a new profile and this is all I get:

Now my question is: How do I fix this? I've tried every damned thing under the sun+moon, day+night, and NOT ONE of the MULTIPLE "solutions" ended up working.

I'm on an old, 2012 iMac btw.

I solved the problem with a similar method, for those who want to load the file to be replaced: Disk (c) - windows - system32 - drivers - etc

Problem Solved!

Just instead of downloading it from the website try downloading it from the miscrosoft store. It solved my problem.

Honestly, Thank you so much. I couldn't get Spotify to work at all and I was even considering reinstalling windows. You have saved me a lot of time and for that, I thank you

If you still have a problem, I would download the zip file provided above, extract it then delete the host file in system32 and replace it with the newly extracted one. Hope it helps!
