[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.

Spotify lacks any security whatsoever. No 2FA, no management of offline devices... How are we supposed to protect ourselves from random log ins? Recently got an alert mine got logged in and was looking for those two options. Password changing is NOT ENOUGH!

... Add this feature already, my account keeps getting cracked even with a very strong password. Every big app has this feature except Spotify. Very disappointed.

Dear engineers,

 

Please, deploy 2FA already.

 

Thank you.

  • I already canceled premium because of no 2FA. Back to YouTube music.
  • Plus, Spotify is trying to censor Joe Rogan.

Cannot believe this has not been deployed yet but began consideration 2 years ago. Would love to see Authy as an accepted 2FA. My account keeps getting hacked no matter how strong of a password. This time, they were able to add themselves to my family plan (which requires verify my address, mind you)

omfg this is getting ridiculous

Seriously? 5 years and STILL no 2FA? Where you asleep the last couple of years that you haven't heard the shoots? Cause it's not that hard to implement proper HOTP and/or TOTP 2FA. They are both standardized for a reason!

And I'm pretty sure there are enough turnkey implementations already available for you to adopt.
For god's sake. It's 2020 and it is not rocket science to implement 2FA.

Probably we´ll get a Coronavirus vaccine before Spotify be able to implement 2FA...
