Account Security Concerns

[Diffiehellman]

Somebody was using my spotify account using the web player, during the incident I was NOT able to disconnect this user similarly on how I would disconnect any other connected device.

- The web Player was not under "Offline Devices"

- I ONLY knew about this user because they were still changing my songs while listening. I also noticed the activity in the "Recently Played" list in my library.

- The "Sign out everywhere" didn't disconected the user.

I was able to solve this problem after resetting my password.

Here are my questions:

1- How is that the reset password is NOT an option under my account settings?

2- How do we see ONLINE devices and manage them?

3- When using only another social media authentication method, what password is assigned to the Spotify account? I think this is how they got access to the account

4- I would like to see my account's connection/login logs to track, how can we do this?

5- Is there any email notification option for newley connected device?

Thank you.
