Set device password still doesn't work, and now you've removed that ability.

My Question or Issue

Spotify has removed the ability for me to use device passwords on various objects in my home, and then updated the Spotify programs to not see my raspberry pi based speakers (using raspotify, librespot and spotipy) as discoverable so they can't even be authorized locally.
I can see the various speakers being advertised across Zeroconf/mDNS and your various Apps are just ignoring them. As you can see by the attached picture, they are there, but only your "Partner" devices (like the LG TVs) show up in the Spotify App now.

I pay for this service, and now I can't use it the way I want.
You need to work with the developers of these programs and bring back my ability to use my account on whatever device I choose.
I will be looking for a new service if this isn't resolved.
