I don't have Facebook, and I desperately want to get rid of the panel on the right telling me to login. So annoying. Apart from that really enjoy Spotify.

Assuming you’re referring to the ‘See what your friends are playing’ panel; on macOS it’s View Menu -> Uncheck ‘Friend Activity’. The right hand panel should then close.

On windows, but I will give it a try, thanks for the tip

Edit: You are a champion, that worked!

I already unlinked my Spotfiy account from Facebook with this way: https://robblewis.me/convert-spotify-facebook-to-email-login... No account migration of contacting support is needed. Just use your registered email account to reset (or in this case actually set) your account password and afterwards you can log in via your email+pw. Then in the Spotify preferences the button to disconnect Facebook becomes available.

Amazing! I've been looking for this for so long and even considered copying over all my playlists and manually doing this but this is a life saver.

Spotify has some really strange "won't fix" issues... I'm on a Spotify family plan. I recently bought a Spotify gift card on sale, because you can usually apply those for a credit on subscription services. Well, it turns out unlike the rest of their plans, Spotify Family doesn't support gift cards. I didn't even consider that it might not apply to all plans, and didn't check the fine print. Disappointed, I contacted…

Another bizarre Spotify #wontfix is how you have (or at least had, this was two years ago) no recourse against someone with access to your account. e.g. Changing your password doesn't invalidate other sessions. My friend had her password guessed (you can buy hundreds of hacked premium Spotify accounts online for We emailed Spotify about this as it was happening and there was no way to lock this person out. Sorry! The…

Crazily, I've heard the same issue on _Cloudflare_, of all services. And they're supposed to be in the security business!

A disgruntled ex-employee changed some of the settings on my website, and there was no way to kick them out after changing the password and adding 2-factor auth.

This is a very serious allegation and I need to know details. Please email me (jgc AT cloudflare DOT com) with details of the site and who you are alleging made such a change.

I sent you an e-mail describing the incident in detail, with a link to the support request I opened at the time of the incident.

I actually really do like Cloudflare a lot, for the record, so I'd be glad if it turned out to be something more innocuous. But at the time, Support said they'd look into it, and I got nothing but radio silence since then.

Thanks. I'll follow up internally.
