My Question or Issue

I am unable to follow these instructions: https://support.spotify.com/uk/account_payment_help/account_help/i-want-to-use-spotify-without-faceb...

to change the email address on my account. When I open my desktop versions of Spotify (on either Mac or Windows) there is no option in settings to 'Disconnect From Facebook' (see attached screenshots) . Please can you help?
Cheers!

Hey, @utection 
Welcome to Spotify Community and thanks for reaching out here!

Did you create your account linking it to your Facebook and then deleted the FB?

Hi @Hezorg,

 
It was all years ago so I honestly can't remember specifics! 

Cheers

Hey again, @utection 

I've asked it again because if you created your account using your FB credentials, you won't be able to change your email address even if you've deleted your Facebook account. So in this case, you'd need to create a new account without a Facebook account. If you want to follow this way, let me know and I'll help you to delete your current account and keep your songs safe to migrate to another account soon.

 

Best Regards,

hezorg

Hi @Hexorg,

 

Is there any way of telling from your side/admin side? It was years ago (5+) so I have no way of knowing.


Cheers

 

That's the only reason that cannot allow that you change your email address. However, if you want to check, try to use another devices or a browser with Incognito mode to change your email address. Let me know if it works...

I have tried that and still having the same problem. Are you a Spotify admin? Could you manually change the address?

Best

Hey again, @utection 

I'm not a Spotify employee... As I said before, probably you've created your Spotify account using your Facebook credentials. So, in this case, you won't be able to change your email address anymore. However, if you want, you can contact the Customer Support to get official support.

 

After that, let me know if you could solve your issue and how have you done it. 

 

If you have any other further questions or need more help, let me know! I'd love to help!

Best Regards,
hezorg

Have a great weekend.

Hi @Hezorg

 

Please could you write me a reply saying that the solution is to contact customer services and I will like + give kudos.

 

In your previous reply it also suggests that there might not be a solution to the issue.

 

Cheers,
