How to disconnect Spotify from Facebook – Logging into your Spotify account is a breeze. In fact, you can configure Spotify to use your Facebook login as an authentication method. If you are already logged in to Facebook in your browser, you can simply open Spotify Web Player and you are logged in.
However, there may be cases where you want to use a new password or disconnect your Spotify account from your Facebook account. You can do this in a number of ways, but first, make sure you can access your account after unlinking Spotify from your Facebook account.
Why should you disconnect Spotify from Facebook?
Consider your reasons for disconnecting your Spotify account from your Facebook account before making a decision.
By connecting your Spotify account to your Facebook account, you’ll be able to:
- Use any browser you’re already signed into with Facebook to quickly log in to your Spotify account.
- You can access your Spotify account on your Facebook-enabled mobile device without having to log in.
- Instead of two passwords, you only have to remember one.
Also, by linking Spotify to your Facebook data, you can connect with Facebook friends and learn which song they prefer. You can also easily share your listening preferences on Facebook.
When you disconnect Spotify from your Facebook account, all these functions are removed.
However, there are several reasons why consumers are concerned about their privacy when they link Spotify to Facebook. Both services have access to the information you’ve entered into the other. They can share their likes and likes with ads with this type of access.
By separating the two services, you can further restrict your privacy. It all comes down to whether social sharing and community are more important to you than your privacy.
