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.

Hey! Welcome to the community 🙂 

 

Can you try going to Edit > Preferences > Disconnect from Facebook and then do a clean reinstallation of the client and see if that helps?

I have the same problem! I have 2 accounts (one with my facebook and the other with a different email account) and theyre both linked to the same facebook. Can you please disconnect me? Or delete my email account? --which ever is easier.. Thanks!

Hi lgarza - Do you have a subscription one of those accounts? I can only find one acct with this email address. 

Hi there, I am having the same problem. Could you please disconnect my spotify (lrd.brantingham [Snip-Email(Privacy)-Peter]) from the facebook account linked to it (one Chelsey Newsom) ?

Hey! Welcome to the community 🙂 

 

You should be able to do this yourself. In the desktop client, log in with your username "lrd.brantingham" and Spotify password, then go to Edit/Spotify > Preferences > Social Network > Disconnect from Facebook and that will break the link for you. 

 

Also, just to protect your inbox from spam I am going to hide your email address from non-staff members 😉

When i was going to link my facebook, my son's facebook was still logged in and now my account has linked with his facebook, can you please disconnect them because its very annoying.

Hi Jurjen1967 - This can be easily fixed by following the steps outlined here: Wrong facebook attached to my account 

I have the same problem, can some disconnect the facebook account on my ID? Thanks x

Hi emsy - Have you followed the steps I linked to above?

Hi there, I also seem to be having the same problem listed, that my Spotify account is linked to the wrong Facebook account.  Even when I log out and log back in, my Spotify account is still associated with someone else's name, although the picture changes to mine.  Could you please help me reset it?  Thanks in advance!

I had that happen to me in the past....it happened when I was signed into Facebook on Firefox and my friend was signed into Facebook under Internet Explorer.  Since theirs was under IE and IE was the default browser, it logged in with that name, I signed out of Spotify, then signed them out of Facebook and made sure the right browser was default, then logged back in again and it had the correct name once I changed the default browser and signed out my friend.... (sorry for runon sentence)... lol

Are you using your Spotify username and password to log in (not your Facebook details)? 

That should get you back into your account with your playlists.

 

If not, you will need the Spotify team to help you out, drop them an email using this form and someone will be able to help recover your accounts. 

 

If you get an automated email reply back directing you to the community or help pages, you need to reply directly to that email (even if its from no-reply) and one of the customer services agents will get back to you as soon as possible.
