Hi
I took a new premium subscription to Spotify but I'm having a lot of problems!
One that is quite annoying, my username has changed to a name consisting of numbers and letters. Previously it was my name and surname Facebook.
What is going on ?
Hey @Malogurote!
Sounds like you might have opted out of sharing your data with Facebook. You can check this on your account page here.
You should also make sure that on Facebook's end here, Spotify has to be allowed to have access to personal data.
Hope this helps and have a nice day!

it happened to me when i tried to create a new account as i couldn't choose the username of my choice and ended up with one of these stupid random ones.
Hope this helps

And how did you do to find your old name ?

Sometimes i create secondary accounts for to benefit from promos.
You can't customize usernames anymore
