Thanks for the response. However, problem still exists! Her name is still shown on the top right when I log into the app... When I login to the website account area it shows as 'mews73', but when I launch the beta web browser player her name (and photo) appear in the bottom left. It's maddening not to be able to fix it!


I have found from experience it takes a little time for the servers to catch up with changes to Facebook data/connections. 

 

It will most likely sort itself out, the Spotify servers (and the client) temporarily store data to save on bandwidth and prevent loads of requests to retrieve Facebook data all the time which you can imagine might annoy Facebook! Once the system updates, it will know you are no longer connected to Facebook and should remove that data.

@eduardo_alanis - If it is correct in the web player, it is most likely just your Spotify client showing old cached data. Give it a little time (up to 48 hours) to fix itself, if that doesn't clear it follow the steps here to re-install:

Hey, I've had a look at the crehelly account and there doesn't appear to be any Facebook profile attached to it. Try logging in with just this username and see if that clears things up.

Yes it is, shall i logg in to his account and send the question again so you can see whats gone wrong?

I have now logged in with his facebook logg account? But now i see my name as responsible for this account.

Ok I had a look and I see it was connected to a Facebook account (name beginning with a V?)

So I've disconnected that now. Try logging in again with just crehelly as the username. Then connect to FB in the Preferences.

This should put the right face in the box!

I also need to solve this. My spotify account is connected to the wrong facebook! You should integrate multiple facebook-accounts or have a disconnect button,

Hey Marcusz, welcome to the Community.

 

There is a disconnect button - just go into your Preferences (Win: Edit > Preferences | Mac: Spotify > Preferences) and scroll to the bottom.

This will only show up for accounts originally created through Spotify, but looking at your account this should all be good for you.

Hi!

 

I have the same problem. My facebook account is connected with the spotify account of my mother. Username; afemtr.

Can you please disconnect this.

 

Kind regards,

 

Marieke

 


I already fixed it. I made a new account for my mum. With her own facebook account.

Now i use her old username and changed the settings in my own name and email adres.

I got some problems with my spotify profil to, it's wrong name and profil picture, could you please help me change that ?:)

 

Ive got the same problem, my daughter highjacked my account how do I get rid of her?

If she logs in with facebook - data through another spotify-account will that take her away from my spotify account? I dont have facebook and dont want her name in my spotify! Please help!

Yes. That should work.

 

However, you can disconnect by yourself. You have a Spotify username, so you will have the "Disconnect from Facebook" button shown in the earlier image.

 

Look in your Preferences (Win: Edit menu; Mac: Spotify menu), under "Social network".

Hi, it didnt work! she still stands as owner of my account, and I have bought her a premium but she still has comersial and can't change her mailadress, it says another account has it, please help someone!
