How to fix a Spotify login error
Sometimes it becomes impossible to enter an app or service for various reasons. However, there are ways around this problem.
Method1: Make sure the problem is not due to the servers being down
Sometimes the servers of the online services you use are unavailable due to some problems such as service repair. You will notice these issues if you are a member of Spotify’s social networks.
One of the other ways to check the servers of a service is the Down Detector website. Users update this website.
Method 2: Check your username and password
Make sure you have entered your login information correctly. If your username or password needs to be corrected, you will get an error. You could also use Facebook and Apple accounts to sign up on Spotify. If you have used one of these two methods for registering, tap on one of these two links to log in: Log in with Facebook or Log in with Apple
One thing to note is that if you move to another country, update your country after you log in to your Spotify account to don’t have trouble entering.
Method 3: Reset your Spotify password
If you forgot your password, there is no way to log in, so you have to reset it. Another point is that if you have signed up on Spotify using your Facebook and now have deactivated your account, you will not be able to log in to Spotify, and you should reset your password. How to reset your password?
If you want to enter Spotify with a PC:
- Under Login Details, click Reset Password.
- Enter the email you signed up with or the email associated with your Facebook account in the password reset form.
- Check the Recaptcha box to show that you are not a robot.

- After receiving the email sent to your email, you need to tap on the Go to Spotify button. This link can only be used for up to 4 hours.
Method 4: Update your Spotify
Sometimes some versions of published apps have software bugs, and the developers try to fix these problems in future versions. Check if the app installed on your device is the up-to-date version. For this, refer to Play Store (for Android phones) and App Store (for iPhone). If you see the update button next to the Spotify name, it means that the installed version is not up to date, and you should download and install the new version.
Restart your device
Many software glitches that occur for apps can be solved by restarting the device and refreshing the system. If your Spotify has crashed due to malware, the best solution is to restart the device.
Method 5: Log in to Spotify using a browser or other device
By doing this, you will understand where the problem is. If you use another device or browser to log in and can enter your account, it shows that the problem is with the app or browser that you tried to use. But if you encounter an error in the new app or browser and still cannot log in, it shows you that the problem is related to Spotify and its servers, and you should wait for them to solve that.
