My Question or Issue

When I open the Spotify (Windows Desktop application), I no longer receive the login prompt (it had stopped working maybe 2-3 days ago); instead, I receive the prompt in the attached image, asking me to login through the browser.  Login from the browser works, but I would prefer to login from the app and not always open a browser.

I have already tried uninstalling, clearing temporary and registry files, restarting the computer, then reinstalling.

I checked with my Firewalls and they all seem to permit Spotify to do as it pleases.

I don't seem to have any connection issues as I'm freely surfing the web and logging in from the browser.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

I get the browser prompt to authorise the app and continue to the app, but the big green button does literally nothing and I dont know what else to do. I can literally sign in to the web version of spotify on everything.

same. performed a clean reinstall, still issues. when i reinstall the app, and click "Log in", it asks me to log in on your browser (logged into web player already, no other browser prompts for username/password), then immediately jumps back to the "log in" screen.

If you are on a VPN it won't work, exited off mine just to login and it worked, got right back on the VPN after and the app continues to work

I am unable to get it to open DIRECTLY throigh the app too, and this is frustrating. Spotiy keeps sending every log-in attempt to the Opera browser, and this messes up with my work habits regarding Opera . My Spotify account is based on a Google profile - on Opera I am also (steadily) logged in with Google /Gmail, but a *different* Gmail account. I don't want it taking any detoru over Opera at all - how do I get it to open directly in the desktop app??
