[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.

please add 2fa to spotify, the security of spotify account are always at stake without 2fa being available to the consumers. It is pretty easy to hack a spotify account, I changed my password multiple times just for people to log in from different parts of the world. 2fa is needed on spotify

 Spotify has taken some excellent steps toward account security, but improving 2-step authentication would enhance safety and user trust even further.

Currently, Spotify offers standard login credentials, but incorporating more robust 2FA options—such as supporting multi-device authentication apps—would be a significant upgrade. This would allow users to secure their accounts even if they switch devices or need to recover access.

A stronger 2FA system would reduce account compromises and lighten the workload on Spotify’s support team when handling hacked accounts.

For instance, apps like Authenticator support multi-device syncing, backup, and cross-platform compatibility, making it easier for users to manage their security without fear of losing access.

Looking forward to seeing Spotify consider this update as part of its ongoing commitment to user safety!
