[All Platforms][Other] 2-Factor Authentication

[ThomasVH]

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.

That's incredible - it's even worse lol

At this point maybe they profit off the compromised accounts? Like faking stream revenue through bot farms? I have no idea what the justification could possibly be.

Like I know IT doesn't generate profit but it's a really important department...

Shareholders have them in a chokehold it seems

I’m a little disappointed we didn’t mark the 10 year anniversary in some way, like a festive 2FA cake.

🎂happy belated, our ignored feature request!

@zururaM they just merged mine into this one, I see what you mean

My wife's account has now been accessed by a third party twice in one day. Once from Brazil and once from the United States, according to the e-mail. But there are still only 6 months to go until we can celebrate 10 years of 2FA Live idea.

PS: I just earned another badge for being in the Spotify community for 5 years. And I'll give you three guesses why I signed up here 😉

It's 2024... why does a platform as large as Spotify not have 2FA support for users? Apparently they support it for artists already:

This is pretty ridiculous tbh.

10 years with zero solutions, I think it's time to explore other music services.

Ridiculous.

Might as well also comment that this is particularly atrocious in 2024

The fact that a service as large and renowned as Spotify doesn't have even the most basic form of MFA, being a code sent via email or SMS, is unacceptable and nothing short of insulting. It's 2024, get your act together Spotify. MFA should have been implemented 9 years ago when it was first brought to attention.

 Activate 2-step verification also for casual users and not just for spotify artists.
