Device Password

[cswestii]

I am trying to de-link my Facebook account from Spotify. I requested the link to set a device password, but every time I click the link to do so, I get an error page. This has been happening for a couple of weeks. Can anyone help fix this?

Hey @cswestii,

Did you use Facebook to create your account?

If not, login to Spotify Desktop and unlink Facebook from within the app (Preferences > Disconnect from Facebook).

If you created your Spotify account with Facebook, you need to create a new account with a different email address from the one you use for Facebook. That will give you a Spotify username of your choice, so you won't have to rely on a Facebook account. Once you have this new account, fill out the contact form, and someone from Spotify will be happy to help you migrate your Premium privileges (if you have them), library, playlists, friends, etc. to this new account.

Hope it helps. 🙂

I did use FB to create the account originally, but I don't use FB anymore which is why having this login linked is problematic.

Creating a new account with a new email address seems like quite a technological nuisance and annoyance as well. I have a primary personal email and that's it. Hard to believe I would have to create a brand new email address that I'll never use just to de-link my Facebook login.

Is there no way to just de-link Facebook while keeping my existing email as my login?
