Someone's using my Spotify account

Someone's using my Spotify account

Last couple of days someone started to use my Spotify account. It seems like my account was hacked. I'm in my wife's family plan and I use Facebook login. I couldn't figure out a way stop hacker to use my account. I can login to my account but my music suddenly stops because some device that I don't know starts listening. Also device name keeps changing. This seems like a wide scale scam someone pulling. Spotify should stop this. BTW, I changed my Facebook password and there is no problem there.

Hey @user-removed, welcome to the Spotify Community!

 

Could you try a couple things and then let me know if the problem still continues?

1) On Spotify.com, go to your Account page and change your password. While some users have said that this hasn't fixed their problem, it has worked in other cases. (Facebook users need to change their Facebook password.)

2) Also on your Account page, there is an option that says "Sign Out Everywhere" which will disconnect you from all active devices. If you do this as well as change your password then the problem should disappear.

3) Another option is to go to the Apps tab on your Account page, here you can revoke permission from apps that want to access your Spotify account. If you see anything here that you don't trust, remove it from the list. I currently have 3 apps connected.


Let me know how it goes 🙂
