My Question or Issue

Hello, I got a notification in Google Chrome that my password for my Spotify account had been leaked in a data breach. Previously, I think I had two accounts here at Spotify. One with my email as username and the other with a nickname as username. I wonder if perhaps the the login with my email as username perhaps has been de-activated? I changed the password for the login with my username and that seemed to work.
