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

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.

Stupid thing is, apparently it was working before. On Android "accounts.spotify.com" is in the list of links to be open by the app by default, yet nothing happens.
