[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.

I don't think there is any security feature i can enable that would send me a code on my email or phone number code that i can use to login or confirm it's me logging in, I had United States login to my account 2 times recently and apart from the option to connect external apps or account's (Facebook,etc there isn't any 2FA authenticator QR code to setup).

Hello and greetings from 2024!!

Throwing my comments out there that echo sooooo many others (*hint,  hint!!!*) but 2FA should be ubiquitous (and also not need Facebook integration to be a thing).

I just had a login attempt from someone i dont know where, and i am really worried, i just changed my password and made it really big, but still dont know why i just received a code via SMS (which is extremely unsafe and open to man in the middle attacks) about a loggin attempt on spotify. PLEASE ENABLE TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION NOW, and also GIVE USE LOSSLESS MUSIC NOW, thanks! 🙂

Hi,

this is a new concept of security for EVERYONE :  2 FACTOR AUTHENTICATION.

With an app called GOOGLE AUTHENTICATOR you can sign in into your spotufy profile without having to constantly change thhe password...

Can you  explain why spotify can't have it for everyone??

Thanks

2024 and still nothing moved other then price that will go up in 1-2 months. Might just go with another service more secure that im already paying but not using it.

My Spotify got hacked the other day from Brazil and the UK and I think this could have been prevented with 2 factor authentication. This makes me want to swipe from Spotify to Apple Music cause they do protect our accounts. I love Spotify but they have to keep growing and developing new features and safety options or a lot of users will stop having their services.

This is a basic needed service in todays digital world, by spotify not providing this to all accounts it exposes their users and a clear disregard of their fiduciary duties to their clients.

My spotify account was also hacked from someone in Brazil and I'm in the U.S. and it most likely would have not happened if 2 factor authentication were an option for us.

It is a nonsense that in 2024 that 2 factor authentication is not available to member accounts. Judging by the number of account hacks (mine included) listed in your community and throughout the internet Spotify still has a significant growing Security problem). The fact that 2FA is available to Artists suggests a reasonably easy implementation for member accounts who should also be valued.

Please advise current status and plans. I, like many other long time members enjoy Spotify but having to continually change passwords, deleted hacking devices and their loaded playlists etc is getting very worrying. I don’t want to move to Apple Music or other providers, so please do what you should have already done in making your platform secure for members.

Apologies if this is not the correct place to post this, if so, please post to the appropriate place.

I look forward to receiving a reply/update
