Spotify accounts seem hackable even with 2fa (facebook)

Spotify accounts seem hackable even with 2fa (facebook)

I'm not sure if somebody else experienced this, but recently other folks are messing up my play-sessions and adding playlists.


I noticed that somebody seemed to have gotten my "device account logon" number (i used to register my playstation 4 to it) and managed to use some kind of regular device authentification to abuse my playlist.
I know Spotify does not support two factor logon that's why i created a spotify account with facebook which *does* support two factor logon and i *Use* that. So there is no way somebody can abuse my facebook account to login to my spotify account.

I know which devices i use to listen to spotify to and i know that i don't share my account inormation with anyone else.

so it seems you have an easy leak in your device registration area or in your facebook sharing mechanism. However i noticed in the support area a face-book picture from someone who is  definitely not me and it showed the device logon number next to it.

Am i the only one to experience this or does this happen to others as well?Attached is a screenshot showing a picture from somebody elses facebook account and my original device number.
To prevent more wreak havoc, i have created a new account.
