Playlists gone / possible double account

Playlists gone / possible double account

Hello!

 

   I opened my computer today and my Spotify that usually automatically starts up said my password was incorrect and wouldn't log it. I tried to change my password and it said I was connected with Facebook. Nothing on my facebook changed so I kept trying with my original information. It finally let me login but when I went to my profile all of my playlists were gone and showed 0 followers.

 

If I search for my name on Spotify I show up with all of my original playlists before any of the happened but none of that is showing up on the left of my screen. I can follow myself and everything.

 

It seems like when the password thing happened it created a different account for me and now will not log in to my original account.
Ive tried restarting my computer, uninstalling and reinstalling Spotify, disconnecting and reconnecting to my Facbook, and have read through the community.

 

 PLEASE HELP.

Looks like they are both tied to the same Facebook - messy! Unfortunately this isn't something we will be able to solve here on the community. If you could get in touch with the customer services team directly using the online contact form they will be able to lend a hand to get you back to your original account. 

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.

Alternatively, if you prefer support via Twitter, please tweet @SpotifyCares.

I received an email from the no-reply telling me to come on here! I've replied to that like you said. We will see what happens!

 

Thanks for helping me!

 

 

This exactly happened to me, did you get help??

Nothing yet. I'll let you know what they say.

My old and better profile now has no picture and a number rather than my name. All of the playlists are still there but still no word from Spotify.

I am runnning into the exact same issue. Received the same e-mail saying to check the FAQs and discussion boards. I sent back a link to this thread. Have you received any assistance yet?

Nothing yet. 😞 I'll let you know when I have any new information.

Same, that just happened... YOU GUYS, why is this happening 😞

same here, have you found a fix yet?

I have the same issue.

Can you please purge support on fixing this?

I paid for Premium on the 20th of February and my "new" account is a Free account.

Duplicate account issues related to having two Facebook created accounts generally need sorted out by the Spotify support team. If you haven't already done so, get in touch with them directly using the online contact form.

Once you have done that, 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.

Thanks Peter!

I did all that yesterday, replied to the noReply email I got but still no lifesign from Support.

I was hoping that me posting here would kickstart my ticket 🙂

If you don't hear anything back after 24 hours from replying to the automated email, post your 8 digit case number here and we can escalate it further after that time. 😉
