[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.

Apparently comments and voting means absolutely nothing to this garbage company, since there has been exactly zero movement by Spotify to implement MFA for users in 10 years since this was posted and 6 years since it went "under consideration." But hey, they make billions in profits for their shareholders, so who cares, right?

i've had so many people trying to reset my password and iphones that i don't have are connecting without me knowing and i have to reset my password again and again and its getting out of hand how unprotected premium users are we really need 2-step verification how has there not been a 2-step verification for premium users can you guys do this for real trying to chill with music without someone trying to login to my account

Sugiro que utilizem a opção Autenticação em dois fatores, pois há constantes casos de invasão de contas do spotify e não se ver a empresa tomando mais medidas de seguranças que dificultem essa invasão.

A few years ago, I discovered that my password had been leaked on the Dark Web, a common issue in today’s digital landscape. While I updated my password on several platforms, I overlooked changing it on Spotify. Unfortunately, since Spotify does not offer two-factor authentication (2FA), it didn’t take long for someone in Italy to take over my account.

Thankfully, I was able to recover my account relatively quickly with the help from Spotify support. However, this raises a critical question: why hasn’t Spotify implemented a security solution like 2FA?

With 2FA, my account likely would have remained secure. I would have received a notification of the login attempt and had the opportunity to act—such as changing my password—before any unauthorized access occurred. Today, almost all reputable platforms offer 2FA, often through an authenticator app of the user’s choice.

So, my question to Spotify is this: why, in 2024, do you not provide this fundamental security feature? The lack of 2FA leaves users’ accounts—and the sensitive information within them, including payment details—vulnerable to unauthorized access.

Thank you.

I am a Spotify premium user, and my account has been hacked, so for preventing this kind of situation I think it will be a good idea to try to implement the 2 factor authentication and get a different code every time we need to login

I'm so baffled discovering there is a thread like this going on for nearly a decade... with no action taken. What's even more inexcusable is that 2-factor authentication is currently allowed for Spotify "artists" only. So that right there shows Spotify is capable of implementing this for all users successfully. They're just choosing not to.

Spotify, don't you want to earn more money from people actually having to buy their own Premium instead of STEALING our premium accounts that us paying users already pay for? How low does this seriously have to go before real action gets taken? With my account getting hacked today, it's already beyond low to me - and I'm sure the countless other users facing this same unnecessary nonsense.

It's been a few years, and every few months I still got Spotify email alert of someone trying to login / trying to reset my password. 

Any chance of this implemented soon?

I believe Artists accounts already have MFA (or well, 2-Step verification) supported? 

What's stopping this from being added to users / listeners account?

Last week I had 3 attempts from someone trying to log in my account…

When are you going to implement this feature for the premium subscribers?

Recently, personal account thefts have been taking place on the Spotify platform. The information i have collected shows that the account cannot be stolen without access to e-mail - and yet it happens.

The ideal solution to this problem would be to introduce two-step verification for personal accounts. Unfortunately, this function is only available to Artists, and "Plans" to add such a function for personal users fell through in 2018 (According to the Spotify Ideas forum).

This thread is a rehash of an earlier idea that hasn't been introduced since 2018.

Please Spotify, atleast enable 2fa authentication login by Notification or Email or SMS
