My account does not have an email address attached to it. Unable to verify email.

Plan : 3 month

Premium - UPI Payment

Country : India

Device : Android

My Question or Issue : 

I can't log in to my account anywhere except on my phone!

I paid for 3 months through the UPI payment option in India (a prepaid plan) on my phone with the Google Pay app. I was signed up and logged in on my phone number using an OTP (One-time password through SMS) and so I didn't enter my email anywhere. I downloaded the windows app and there's no option to login using a phone number. I never set a permanent password for the account or an email address and I don’t have facebook, there’s absolutely no way to log in anywhere else but my phone. When I try to reset my password using a Spotify generated username, I get “Unfortunately there is no email address associated with the specified user. We are therefore unable to send a password retrieval URL to you.”.

This seems like a backend issue and I can’t seem to find a support email or ticket system to solve this.

Note: This is a different account I am posting on, I can’t register my premium account on spotify community for the same reason.

Hi @robinsonn1, 

Thank you for reaching out here in the Community!

If you've created an account using your phone number, you won’t be able to add an email address to it. If you want to have one added, you should get in touch with Customer Support. 

You can find the contact form here. 

I hope it helps!

After 1 hour of tedious hardwork, I have finally found the way to add email id to the Spotify Account created by a phone number. First make sure the mail id u r going to use doesnt have any account created through it. Now go to this link

https://www.spotify.com/in-en/account/profile/

You will find a blank space for email id. Just enter your email id and click save changes. You are done.

You are most welcome. If you find this useful please support me by studying hard and making your parents proud.

Heyy, 🙂 
I previously tried this but for some reason i feel like there are 2 parallel accounts created. 
Phone number account has premium plan. I added email like you mentioned above. When i try to login via email on my laptop it shows non upgraded version and my old account for some reason.

Hi folks,

Thank you for your posts.

@saranyachaganti For what you mention, it seems like you have two separate accounts, One registered under the phone number and the other registered under the email address. 

In this case, we suggest you delete the free account using these steps. Please make completely sure you've logged with the email address before deleting it. 

After doing this, please wait 14-30 days from the day of deletion to register the email address on your Premium account.

Let us know if you have any questions.
