Login Fails But Continues To Playlist

Description

Fresh installation; attempting to login (with correct information) causes "Login Failed" to be displayed and then the account's playlist and songs are shown (as if login worked). Then intermittently it returns to Login screen for a few seconds, and then back to the playlist page (or another Now Playing, Discover, My Music, etc. page). On 3G/4G or Wifi it constantly tries to download playlists, stopping only a few songs in and then restarts the download. Music won't play longer than a few seconds due to being kicked back to the Login screen or because the Downloads restarting have paused playback. Attempting to Sync with Windows Desktop Spotify also only connect intermittently (Syncs for three seconds or so before disappearing from Sync list, then reappears and restarts sync).

 

This makes it impossible to do anything functionally within the app. I have cleared the cache within the app and in the phone's App manager, uninstalled Spotify, restarted my phone, re-installed. I've tried alternative accounts, without Wifi, without Desktop Spotify on (to avoid conflicts), and no situation resolves the issue. It started only after the latest redesign's update this week.
