Family member cannot login

Signed up for family premium. Son had free trial account beforehand. Sent invite via whatapp. Tried to login with email address and password for Spotify on his own iPhone. Says username or password incorrect. He can login via Spotify app with same credentials. He has logged out of app before clicking invite link. He has tried via webpage incognito.

Have wasted 2 hours trying everything! He was sat next to me, so definitely not an address issue! Not a good introduction to Spotify. If we don’t get it sorted quick will cancel and not bother, looks like loads of people have had same problem.

Hello @ALockton,

Thanks for reaching out here and welcome to the Community! We'll be happy to lend you a hand with this.

First off, I'd suggest creating a new invite link by logging into your Family page and send it to your son again.

He should then head to spotify.com (preferably on a desktop device), click on Profile in the top right corner, and there click LOG OUT. After that, he can reopen the new invite link and log in again using the credentials for his own Spotify account (i.e., his email address and password).

Your son can check the email address registered with his account here or reset his password. We'll then send him an email with a link to create a new password.

If his account was created with Facebook, he can also choose LOG IN WITH FACEBOOK to access the account. If he isn't already signed in to Facebook on the device, he will need to enter his Facebook login information.

Should the above tactics don’t work, check out this support page for more tips and tricks. 

Hope this info is useful. Give us a shout if you still need help with this 🙂
