I joined Spotify using Facebook and want to delete my Facebook, will my Spotify account be deleted?

[Olivia21]

I joined Spotify in 2013 using my Facebook login. I want to delete my Facebook account but I am concerned it will delete my Spotify account. I'd really prefer not to create a new account as I have 50+ playlists that have the year I discovered the songs in.  Also, I have Premium.

If I deactivate my FB, how will my Spotify account be affected?

Hi! if you delete your Facebook account, it won't delete your Spotify account. If you want to take extra precautions you can by unlinking your Facebook account before you delete it, but I can assure you everything will be fine if you delete your Facebook account.

Unfortunately, I don't have the option to disconnect my Facebook from my Spotify account. I think this is because I joined Spotify with my FB account.  Does anyone know if that affects anything?

Hey there @Olivia21,

Welcome to the Community! We're happy to shed some light on the situation 🙂

If you created your account through Facebook, you can still keep it and all your saved music after deleting your Facebook profile. Check out this Spotify Answer and follow the steps for option 1. 

In case you need to change your email address, you'll find help here.

Once your account is disconnected from Facebook you can follow these steps to edit your display name.

Hope we were able to help. Let us know if you have any other questions!

Hey, I too want to permanently delete my facebook account for the sole purpose of unlinking the connection between my facebook and spotify account (apparentaly I signed up with facebook). I want to do this so that I can edit my email, age and other stuff on my account since it's grayed out. Will I have the option to reconnect to another facebook account after this?

Will I be able to edit my email, age and other settings after my facebook account is deleted?

Hi again @whirlygoof,

Thank you for keeping us in the loop!

We suggest you update your settings before you close the Facebook profile, this way you won't have any issues logging back in. 

You can contact our Customer Support team so they can help you set all your account details. You'll find help here.

I deleted my facebook account months ago and I yesterday I logged out of my premium account. My facebook account is long gone and now I have no way of accessing my premium account. Any thoughts?

I requested to delete my Facebook account today but the account will not actually be deleted for 30 days. I have followed the steps outlined in option 1 and reset my Spotify password. However my Spotify account is still showing my Facebook profile picture. Is this sufficient so that when my Facebook account is actually deleted in 30 days I will not lose my Spotify?

Hi there @abcdefgh2222,

Thanks for the post.

If you've set a password for your account, you should be able to log in with your email address and password in the future. The only thing that will change is that you won't be able to log in via Facebook. All your playlists and account data should stay the same. 

You can always change your account Profile picture and Display name from within the Spotify app. Just click on your profile pic 🙂

Cheers.
