Change from Facebook login to an actual spotify account?

When I first setup spotify, I used the facebook login option. But now, I'd like to change this by creating an account for spotify (username and password) but don't know how.
Is there a way to do that by keeping my account as is, but creating new login details?
I don't mind keeping it connected to facebook (as I have deactivated all the sharing stuff) but I don't like this trend that everything are dependent of facebook accounts.
Thanks.

I want to swap forms a fb login to a spotify login so that I can use a new sonos system. I have a premium account and do not want to have to cancel this to have to set up a new one. Surely there is a solution? 
Help. R
Hey! Welcome to the community :) 
There is no direct way to transfer from a Spotify account creating using Facebook to the dedicated Spotify account. I wrote a tutorial on how to do it here, but it is not ideal and requires a little bit of work. 
You can use Spotify on Sonos without changing your account type though! You just need to retrieve your device username and password by following the steps outlined in this FAQ and then using those details to login on Sonos.

    Support usually replies within 24-48 hours.
    If you still have not gotten a reply:
    Did you get a confirmation email from the contact form? It should be similar to "Spotify Support Case #XXXXXXX". If so, reply back to that email and tell them you still need help.
    If you got an automated reply email telling you to check the help section or the community, you need to reply back to it saying you still need help, even if it's from a no-reply address.
    If you never got an email, look in your spam folder to see if there is an email in there. Make sure you are checking the email account you used to sign up to Spotify. You can check the email on your account here.

  • [Tutorial] How to Disconnect Spotify from Facebook

    How to Disconnect Spotify from Facebook
    This is not an officially supported Spotify workaround. 
    It seems to be a common request on the community to want to disconnect accounts from Facebook. 
    If you wish to do this, then follow the instructions below closely. 
    Please note: It is highly recommended that you log in and cancel your subscription IF and ONLY IF you are planning to deactivate your Facebook and you have Spotify account created with Facebook , as once you have done that, you may not be able to log in to cancel. You may also want to log into your online profile and set all the email notifications to "Never" to stop Spotify sending you emails on that account. 
    This serves as a "Do It Yourself" guide since it is the fastest way to disconnect from Facebook. If you have a premium/unlimited subscription or would rather have someone at Spotify assist you in doing this, don't hesitate to get in touch with customer services instead using the online contact form.
    1.  Check your account type.
    The method of how to disconnect from Facebook depends on how you originally created your account. 
    If you have a dedicated Spotify username and password, then go to step 2a.
    If you created your Spotify account using Facebook, and therefore log in using your Facebook email address and password, go to step 2b. 
    If you log in using Facebook normally, but are unsure if you created your Spotify account using Facebook or a Spotify username, log into your online profile using your Facebook details. If you see a username consisting of ten digits you're likely using a Spotify account created through Facebook. and need to go to step 2b. 
    2a. Disconnect from Facebook.
    Since you have a dedicated Spotify account, disconnecting from Facebook is easy.
    In the desktop client:
    Windows - Go to Edit > Preferences > Social Network > Disconnect from Facebook.
    Mac - Go to Spotify > Preferences > Social Network > Disconnect from Facebook. 
    Once you have done that, your Spotify account is no longer linked to Facebook, you need not continue any of the steps below. 
    You may find due to data caching in the client, that you still see Facebook information (such as the People list) hanging around, a quick clean reinstallation of the application should fix that for you. 
    If you can't see the option to connect/disconnect, then you are logged into a Spotify account created with Facebook not a dedicated Spotify one. 
    2b. Create a new account.
    Disconnecting from Facebook is not possible if you have a Spotify account created with Facebook.
    You can obviously select not to share your activity on Facebook from the Preferences menu, however, if you wish to completely disconnect then read on. 
    If you wish to stop using your Spotify account created through Facebook, then you will need to create a new dedicated Spotify account from the signup page which should now be available in all launch countries. Once you have done that, make sure to note down your new Spotify username and password and keep them in a safe place. Continue to step 3. 
    The easiest and quickest way to move your playlists from one account to another is explained in steps 3 and 4. Since there is no way to directly transfer playlists from one account to another, this process subscribes your new dedicated Spotify account to the playlists on your old Spotify account created via Facebook.
    3. Backup Playlists
    The easiest and quickest way to backup your playlists is to sign into your Spotify account created with Facebook and simply drag and drop them from the left sidebar of the desktop client onto your desktop, or into a folder. This will store links to those playlists locally. 
    4. Restore Playlists
    Log into your new dedicated Spotify account, created in step 2b.
    Now, drag and drop your playlists from your desktop (or folder) into the Spotify client, and they should reappear. These playlists won't be editable, since they are still "owned" by your old account. However, once you have got them into the client, if you want to make them editable you just need to make a new Playlist (File > New Playlist) and then copy and paste all the tracks from the uneditable one into the new one. You can also drag a subscribed playlist to the "New Playlist" button which will instantly copy the playlist and make it owned by you (Thanks Stupify for this awesome tip!)
    The fastest way to highlight all the tracks is to click on the playlist, press Ctrl/Cmd+a and then press Ctrl/Cmd+c to copy them. Then navigate to your new playlist and press Ctrl/Cmd+v to paste. Continue to step 5 (if applicable).
    5. If you have an unlimited/premium subscription…
    There is no easy way for you to transfer an unlimited/premium subscription from one account to another.
    The simplest and fastest way to get back up and running is to simply unsubscribe from the subscription page on your old Spotify account created using Facebook and then resubscribe on your new account. I would recommend you cancel and then use up all your remaining premium days on your old account before you subscribe again, you have already paid for them!
    6 (Optional). Request the removal of your Spotify account created using Facebook.
    If you wish to request your Spotify account created through Facebook be disabled then please read and follow the instructions in this topic.
    I would strongly suggest that if you do not do this step, that you at least log into your online profile on your old Spotify account created with Facebook and set all email notifications to "Never" to stop Spotify sending you any emails. 
    Once you have completed the required steps above, you should have a complete Spotify account which is not in any way connected to Facebook. 
    Happy Listening!
    Peter
    If you have any issues with your account, or in following these steps, then the Spotify team will be happy to help, just drop them an email using the online contact form.
    I do not work for or in anyway professionally connected to Spotify.

    Hi!
    I'm trying to disconnect my spotifyfrom my facebook so i can shut my facebook down. I used your tutorial however could not find the social network tab, The only option is to uncheck "Share on Facebook what i listen to" which is unchecked BUT sharing on Facebook anyways. I'm also on a premium account. How the hell do i do it? I just want to get rid of facebook. Let me goooooooo.....
    Hey :) 
    Did you read step 1? 
    If you created your account using Facebook, you won't have the disconnect from Facebook option, since your account is tied to Facebook. In that case you will need a new account as described in the tutorial.

    Windows - Go to Edit > Preferences > Social Network > Disconnect from Facebook.
    Mac - Go to Spotify > Preferences > Social Network > Disconnect from Facebook
    If you're still having issues I sugget looking over this guide. I hope this helps!

  • Change login from Facebook to Spotify account

    I currently log in via Facebook but want to access my Spotify on a shared ipad where it's not my Facebook that is on there. So how can I change to logging in to Spotify n not through Facebook?

  • Can't locate email content? All of a sudden my email content has disappeared from inside MacMail? The actual emails are coming through but I am unable to view them as the area is just left blank! Nothing has been done to have changed this?

    Can't locate email content? All of a sudden my email content has disappeared from inside MacMail? The actual emails are coming through but I am unable to view them in the content area! Nothing has been done to have changed this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Implement a way to transfer from a Spotify account created using Facebook to a Spotify only account

    I have noticed an increase in posts recently relating to people who wish to deactivate their Facebook accounts, but if they do so they will also loose access to their Spotify account, since it was created using their Facebook details. 
    There should be an easy way to change your Spotify account, from a Spotify account which is tied to Facebook, to a Spotify (email only) account without the need to go through the quite long process outlined in my tutorial here. 
    This relates quite closely to being able to change your username idea, but I think this is different issue!
    Please please please implement this!
    Peter

     
    Thanks so much to everyone!
    At the moment, we're unable to implement the idea suggested above for a few reasons. As a few of you have noticed, our system currently doesn't support the changing of usernames since playlists are tied to usernames. Many folks who created accounts via Facebook before we implemented an email registration option would like the option to "transfer" their account to another.
    You can indeed follow the instructions in Peter's aforementioned guide to transfer your account. Moreover, we understand the want for a simpler way to move to an email created an account instead of a Facebook created account. However, we won't implement an option to "transfer" your account at this time.
    If you have any questions about how to transfer your account, follow Peter's guide for the quick fix or contact customer support.

  • After change of Facebook Account: Notification Central shows notifications from old FB Account

    Hi there,
    I changed the Facebook Account on my 10.8.3 iMac. When I post something through notification Central everything is right. But incomming notifications are from the previous account.
    I removed all settings, shut my mac down and added everything new, but there are still the notifications from the previous account. Anyone an idea how I can fix this?
    Thank you

    It's actually controlled in System Preferences - Mail/Contacts/Calendars. Locate the Facebook account there and remove it.

  • Names in Members field under the UNIX Attributes Tab have changed from standard format (i.e. John Doe) to the actual account name (jdoe)

    Hello,
    Names in Members field under the UNIX Attributes Tab have changed from standard format (i.e. John Doe) to the actual account name (jdoe). The only time this happens is if a domain account is deleted and the remnant of the account remains and has to be removed
    manually. However all of the accounts, with the exception of any new ones recently added, now show the account name only. Any ideas on what caused this and how to fix it?
    Thanks :)

  • Storing Facebook Login Data Of A user In An Application

    I've recently been working on a desktop application which allows users to view some of their facebook details such as albums, images and statuses within my application itself. However I've noticed that every time the user access the app before they can access these details they need to be taken to facebook, actually login and then close internet explorer before my application can access these details. As far as I know this is a necessary validation procedure however I believe this defeats the object of having a user's facebook details in my application when the user has to first access facebook anyway to login and see these details when they could have simply stayed within facebook in internet explorerand viewed these details there.
    What I'm wondering is if there's any workaround to cut out this middle man and perhaps allow a user to store their facebook login details in my application so that the app can perhaps log them in automatically by submitting these details to facebook when they access the app and they won't need to visit facebook to log in manually. Is there any way to do this perhaps in an invisible html component or something?

    Yep the problem is I'm trying to cut out the part where the user gets taken to the login page altogether, my reasons for this being that:-
    1. My app operates in full screen mode and navigating a user to internet explorer to sign in to facebook forces them out of full screen mode. I do have links to websites and we content in my app but these all simply bring up a html component containing the selected website within my application itself.
    2. My client wants my app to be completely self-contained so obviously I won't be able to have it switch to internet explorer, it would be better if I could at least get the facebook login to open in the application in a html component rather than navigate to the web.
    3. I'd also like to be able to save these login details in the app i.e. the user enters their username and password into my app similar to the way internet explorer allows and they are saved within the app for good until the user chooses to change them. I can't see this being possible though.
