**bleep** as usual. (Aka someone is using my account)

**bleep** as usual. (Aka someone is using my account)

Well, well, here we are again. Now my girlfriend is facing the same issue as I did two month ago - someone keeps highjacking her Spotify account and starting playback of music she does not listen to. Interestingly it is always -in my opinion- bad rap music - just as it was when I faced this issue in 2017, then in 2018 and at the beginning of this year. We both don't listen to rap and thus I am sure it's not just something from our playlists - but hey - there is something new for her: music starts playing on the last connected device. If she was last listening to music via our Echo Dot Gen 3, playback randomly starts on that device - pretty nice if you are trying to sleep and your Bathroom Eco starts playing music at full blast. 

 

So ONCE AND FOR ALL GET THIS **bleep**ING ISSUE FIXED. Are you guys employing apes to wrote your apps and services? If I would deliver a service / or an API with security issues like that, i'd be fired instantly. I am really not sure if I want to have a company handle my credit card information - which should be securely stored - if the core service is so buggy and insecure....

Oh thank you so much. Not.

Do you really think logging out from all devices (as described by the help article) helps? I am having this issue for years now, have logged off from all devices multiple times and nothing changed this is not a bug the user can fix it is a security flaw.
