[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.

"2-factor authentication (...) is currently not a specific legal requirement"

I think that pretty much says everything we need to know about Spotify's dedication to our account security. 🙄

This group is able to put Spotify on a pencil sharpener but still can't figure out an easy way to enable 2FA? Amazing. We know the technical ability is there, so it must be something else.

Today i got response from spotify: [...] "Whilst 2-factor authentication is one security protection we of course consider, it is currently not a specific legal requirement and Spotify has other appropriate security measures in place"

Well, the other security measures actually aren't appropriate so let's hope 2FA becomes a legal requirement.

And still nothing 😧

You guys are getting a response? When I contacted them about this a little while (about a month or two) ago, they referred me to this forum. 🤔

They do not care... I already switched to Apple Music. I suggest you to do the same.

"Whilst 2-factor authentication is one security protection we of course consider, it is currently not a specific legal requirement and Spotify has other appropriate security measures in place in order to protect our user accounts from security threats"

hahaha what a joke, what type of response is that :)) ?

It just sums up the total ignorance and incompetence that this company has :))

Sorry guys, I made a post here a long time ago and still get these emails with what people comment.
I switched to Apple Music months ago, and I would recommend you should also look into alternatives.

These Spotify smart brains obviously care nothing about your security, they only care about the profit.

HA! So basically "Until we're legally required to add in 2FA, your ass is **bleep**." Yeah, no. I'm less likely to come back once 2FA is implemented now. I made a petition. Can I get people signing it? https://chng.it/QLQzrnrh6w

All in favor to make 2FA a legal requirement?

I tried Spotify again after switching a year ago to Apple Music. But is is really unbelievable that until today, 11 December 2021, there is still no 2FA. Still “Under consideration”. This is a W.T.F. Before the next renewal date I strongly think to go back to Apple Music again.
