I have the wrong facebook account linked to my spotify account

Solved!

I have the wrong facebook account linked to my spotify account

Hi,

 

I have no idea how but when I log into Spotify I now have my friend's Facebook account connected to it instead of mine.

 

I need to have it disconnected - I have followed numerous instructions (i.e. disconnected from Facebook under 'preferences') but it still continues to show her name on the top right hand corner when I log in and is connected to her account.

 

Can someone please help me disconnect her account from my Spotify?

 

Thank you.

Do you have access to your old Spotify account? Or the email you used to register it?

Yes I do

Login to Spotify Desktop with that old account and unlink Facebook from within the app (Preferences > Disconnect from Facebook).

 

If you don't remember the password, ask for a password reset here:

did not see that it might take up to 24hours for the changes. 

Probably fixed soon.

 

Hi, I too am connected to my friends Facebook even though I am logged into my own account. I have tried unlinking through preferances and re-installing the program but no luck.

The database needs at least 24 hours to update your changes.
Så even though it has not updated yet u will see it soon. 
If not contact me, and well find a solution.

Please help me! My spotify app connects to the wrong Facebook account on my iphone? Don't know what to do

I'm guessing you would have to :

Go to settings in spotify in web browser and delete your saved Iphone profile, so that you can re-log on.
from saving new changes to when it is visably changed might be as long as 24 hours.
Not 100% sure this will help but might.
Best of luck

Hey @Hannia22,

 

Using your computer, follow this to get a device password:

  1. Go to Facebook settings.
  2. Select Security.
  3. Select App Passwords
  4. Click Generate App Password
  5. Enter your current Facebook password and click Submit.
  6. Enter Spotify, and Facebook will automatically generate a password for you.
 
Now logout form Spotify in your iPhone, and use this password, with your Facebook email address as username, to log into Spotify directly (it will work on any device too).
 
Hope it helps. 🙂

My wife and I both have Spotify accounts set up with our Facebook accounts (Amber Bush-Joseph & Sam Bush-Joseph). When I 'Log Out' of her account on the app and try to log back in 'With Facebook' as myself it automatically signs me in as her. We only use Spotify on our iPhone 7's.
