Urgently Add Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) & Login Notifications

[Lehjardim]

As a user who has had their account hacked I urge Spotify to implement:
-Two-factor authentication (2FA)via SMS/auth apps (Google Authenticator, etc.)
- Real-time notifications for logins from new devices
- Music history backuto restore after breaches

Currently, even with a secure email and strong password, hackers can access accounts directly through Spotify (without changing linked emails). This has corrupted my playlists and recommendations multiple times, causing significant frustration.

While competitors (Apple Music, Deezer) offer 2FA, Spotify lags behind on basic security. This feature is long overdue in 2025.
