Loging in via facebook -AND- via user/pass directly (security failure)

Loging in via facebook -AND- via user/pass directly (security failure)

Hi, All!

 

I am a family premium active member and my account is linked to FB. That is not a problem for me, but now it is being a problem.

My Spotify's password (which is different from FB's) was hacked, and this password gives full access to my account, so they are removing my real family members and adding their own email address for using my Spotify premium signature.

 

It's quite an obvious solution: to change my Spotify password! But once it's linked to FB, Spotify configurations doesn't have this option! 

 

I had an idea: "Gonna pretend I've forgot my password and ask for a recovery password email!" - no way: Spotify tells me that I'm using FB to login so if I want to change the password, I need to do it on FB's configuration!

 

Well, so why the heck Spotify allows both access (via FB -AND- via Spotify's user/pass)??!


Anyone got through this before and got a solution?

I really apreciate any help!

Thanks in advance!

Ricardo I think I figured out how to do it.
On a computer or using "Desktop" settings in a mobile browser, go to account settings on Facebook. It'll have an option called "Applicatios". In there, there's a WHOLE list of EVERY single app you've used to log into face with. There's a kinda "hidden" menu... A pencil to edit the settings of the app & then an "x", for you to remove the app from your Facebook account. Click on the "x", then there will be a pop up asking if you're sure you want to remove said app. Be sure you click "confirm", otherwise the app won't be removed.
I haven't been able to get back on my Spotify app or the website yet, but your email address to log into Spotify with should be the same as your Facebook email log in. Then I'm going to hope it'll just allow me to create a password...
Fingers crossed... LOL!!!
Thank you,
