I actually refused to use Spotify for years because they required Facebook login. I gave in eventually as Rdio lost to Spotify in the market. Like many, though, I am deeply concerned about Facebook's policy direction and leadership. I did disconnect my Spotify account from my Facebook account the hard way (with customer support) a few months ago.
In general I am enthusiastic about federated signin, but I don't want to do business with Facebook.
- mi_lk 8y agoWhat do you mean that Spotify requires Facebook login, I don't have a fb account and are using it just fine. E: Missed the past tense. I just checked, you can sign up with your email address.
- RafiqM 8y agoIt used to. In fact Spotify shared the same auth database with Facebook (not oAuth, the literal same password - change it in FB, it changed in Spotify and vice versa)
- jocoda 8y agoStarted doing FB only login in Sep 2011, but if you already had an email login you could keep it. Lasted for about a year then it was dropped.
- jliptzin 8y agoCouldn't you just make a new, empty facebook account just for spotify login with no real personal info on it?
