NEXT STEP

[All Platforms][Other] 2-Factor Authentication

Spotify should, as a matter of good practice and safety, implement 2-step authentication.

 

Previously, Spotify enabled the option to log out other sessions other than the current session.

 

This would prevent hackers from stealing accounts, which would additionaly lead to less account hacks and less work for Spotify employees to assist in these cases.

Hi everyone, thanks for bringing us your feedback in the Spotify Idea Exchange. We’re ready to mark this idea as ‘Under Consideration’. 

 

We are currently investigating various solutions for account security for our users, e.g. 2-factor authentication. Any news regarding user-facing security updates will be posted to this thread as a status change.

Under consideration for something that would take about 2 months of dev time to implement is absolutely **bleep**ing wild after 10 years of this being open

I have been facing issues with mi account, this happen like 3-4 times, some how someone enter in my account event after each time

  • I change my password,
  • close the session in all sites,
  • I don’t have linked apps,
  • my email it’s secured 

but they  are kicking out the people from my family plan and adding some randoms, to be there “free”, doesn’t matter what kind of password, seems like there is a security incident, maybe having 2steps  authentication can avoid this 

 

thanks

The fact that even some of the adult video websites have 2FA nowadays. I can add them into my authenticator app, and Spotify should have 2FA feature too (it's been a decade since the idea first submitted).

I cant believe that in 2025 you do NOT have the ability to do 2 factor authentication! You had a data breach in 2020 compromising over 100,000 accounts! I dont know if you think that was hidden information or what but in the age of needing STRICT controls I cant believe as a security person you refuse to add 2 factor. You have been "deciding" since 2015... 5 years later you had a MASSIVE data breach. Which has lead to a class action lawsuit that was reported in 2023!

Just happened to me this morning.

Please have this feature.

Never ever happened before for any of my accounts on other services..

This is serious!

Instead of sending out E-Mails with confirmation codes (seriously?) when trying to login, please add a real 2FA usable with an authenticator. It's 2025 guys. E-Mail is dead.

Another reason for practicing GOOD IAM ( Identity access management) WITH! Multi-factor Authentication... or are we just waiting for this to happen to you?

This has been open for 10 years. This is unacceptable.

I'm perplexed that even the most basic forms of 2fa are still "under consideration" for such a major and reputable service. 

2fa is not an option these days, it's a requirement to stay safe from malicious actors.

Spotify is a place for our tired souls to rest a bit. I'd like to be able to protect this garden of piece from being corrupted by someone's awful taste.

Thanks.
