Spotify playing on someone else's device? (Spotify can be hacked?)

Spotify playing on someone else's device? (Spotify can be hacked?)

Today my account wanted to play on someone else's computer, and when I switched back to this computer it then started playing their music.  After stumbling around I logged out of everywhere, and now it's completely happy again.

So, presumably my FB login could've been hacked, but there're numerous reasons why I don't think that's actually what happened.  Instead I think whatever tokens/cookies/whatever Spotify uses to connect itself got mangled or hacked.  Seems like Spotify may have some sort of security bug?

Hi there!

Sorry to hear that you think someone else has gained access to your Spotify account. Check out this Spotify Answer for the next steps to take.


Thanks!

this literally happened to me 10 minutes ago

Yea, what a BS answer, basically "Clearly someone got your password."  No, nobody got my password, they managed it some other way.

Kicking all of the logged in users out through the web UI worked for me.
