You might be in a situation when you are not allowed by Spotify to log in to your account even though the username and password that you are using is correct. When you are in this kind of case, you might be confused and have no idea what to do, especially if the app suddenly locks you out.
What is actually wrong with your Spotify and why can’t you log in to your own Spotify account with the correct username and password? Find out the methods that might help you below:
Solution 1: Checking your login details
Before trying the other methods, it is better for you to make sure that you are using the right login screen. For those who made your Spotify account by using your Facebook account, please tap Log in with Facebook. The same thing goes to those who created a Spotify account using an Apple account. So, if your Apple account was used when creating a Spotify account, you will have to tap Log in with Apple. As for those who created your Spotify account the normal way, which is by using a stand alone username and password, then the best thing that you have to do is to tap Login.
If you move outside a country, make sure to go to your profile page to change your country settings. When you are in a different country, you may occasionally face a few different kinds of login issues when trying to connect to your Spotify account. Basically, the options are limited to logging in to Spotify from the country you originally signed up or updating your country settings. If you keep failing when editing your settings, you are suggested to contact Spotify support right away.
