Hello,

 

I would like to authorize my app on the spotify application and not on the web app, except that https://account.spotify.com does not open with the spotify application, what should I do.

 

It already work with webapp flow, but I want to change to pass by the spotify app directly.

 

Thanks

This link dosen't exist anymore https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/general/guides/content-linking-guide/ and I don't know how to redirect to authentication through spotify:// custom uri

trying to achieve the same!

I think the auth link (https://account.spotify.com) should be a universal one, otherwise, it makes a bad user experience. Not everyone (including me) can remember they password and log in. For at least, on https://account.spotify.com should be an option to log in via the Spotify App.

 

For my particular use case, I built a seamless app where users can manage their playlists in a few clicks. It's quite annoying to stuck on this auth step. I just feel that I lose engagement here, though It should be very fast.

 

Spotify team, please make it possible 🙏

 

Also, I would suggest renaming the title of the topic to `Universal login link` or something like that. I built a web app, but I also need a thing to utilise installed Spotify app for auth purposes.

 

I found a few more articles on the Internet about this request.
