Account Switching on Desktop App between users profiles

Account Switching on Desktop App between users profiles

Plan / Duos Plan

Country / Canada

Device / Desktop PC, Spotify App

Operating System / Windows 11


My Question or Issue:

To switch between Spotify accounts on the desktop app, you'll need to log out of your current account and log back in with the desired account. There isn't a built-in feature to switch between accounts without logging out and in again. 

 

This is ridiculous and annoying to have to logout and back in for EACH user/profile in our Duos plan every time we want to use Spotify.

My wife and I both use the same PC at home but we each have our own Duos Plan/ profile. Every other app like Netflix, Prime, etc have this Profile tab for choosing who is using the app, but not Spotify.

Why do you have to complicate how we use our PAID service and then make even more frustrating by having to open a separate web browser just to login, instead of doing it right in the app??? WHY!!!??

What is the point of taking me to another COMMENT where the guy is asking or suggesting the EXACT SAME THING as me??

 

This is NOT an answer I can accept!  There is no solution yet, just more people asking for easy account switching on the PC app.
