Hi guys,

There isn't anyone logged in at the moment, so a change of password should sort things.

Where are you viewing the playback history? 

If you have tracks appearing in your Facebook feed that you have not listened to it could be being caused by this bug and not by someone else using your account.

 

The sure way to know someone else is using your account is to get the "Your music has been paused as your account is being used elsewhere" error message inside the desktop client.

Hey, got the same problem - someone is using my account. Could you please log everyone out of my account?

Hey guys 🙂 

 

I'm going to close this topic now, if you need a forced logout change your password (which might be via Facebook) as soon as possible and then post on the official topic here and a member of the community team will pick up your request.
