FAQ told me to log in and out of FB but it didn't work for more than a year.

Why can't we change our username or it following the FB account?
Such a disappointment that Spotify labelling us users as just digits, and us to accept that way!
Hey @telshuk
That string of characters is your actual Spotify username, which was assigned automatically to you when you created your account through Facebook.
Fortunately, they aren't something you need to remember, since you can simply sign in with your email address.
Sometimes it's displayed like that in the app, but normally it should update itself after a little while with your name.
Hope it helps. 🙂
