Hello and welcome to the Spotify Community!

Those numbers you are seeing are your username id.

They are for logging in to your account, without Facebook (you can create a device password and log in with it, if you decide to terminate you Facebook some day)

Spotify Client sometimes has data packages losses, and in them it can have your name.

When it can't receive your name, it tries to get the username number to replace it temporarily.

This is an issue that Spotify is aware of, but is hard to fix. It can happen due to unstable internet or just too slow internet.

I know it can be buggy, it can sometimes go away with a simple reinstallation (but sometimes it doesn't). It acts differently on different users and PCs!

I'm deeply sorry but there isn't much to be done here... If there is anything else I can do, please let me know 🙂

Have a nice day!
