Incorrect login credentials

[vhespanha]

Describe the bug I cant authenticate to my Spotify account using the Spot client, no matter the account or how many times i reset the password, i get the "Incorrect login credentials". Same credentials work on other devices/clients.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install Spot (Flatpak)
2. Type credentials
3. Click "Log in"

Expected behavior Sign into my account

Screenshots

General information:

• Distribution: Arch Linux
• Installation method [e. g. built from source, installed from Flathub...]: Flathub
• Version [e.g. 0.1.0]: 0.4.1
• Device used [e. g. desktop, phone...]: desktop

Additional context I found another guy on the Gnome Software review section saying he had the same problem, I installed Spot on this same machine back in June and used it normally, after reinstalling the system, i get this error.

Issue persists also when built from source.

Facing this issue as well on Arch (AUR installation). I'm using a Family account, wonder if it may be related to that?

[JJ-Atkinson]

I'm using a personal account and can't login either. Wonder if spotify did something here? Using nixos stable version

[vhespanha]

I'm on family too, but seems like it's unrelated. The other guy with the same problem commented it back in may, i successfully logged in back in june, so i also don't think this stems from a change on Spotify's API either.

same issue here (personnal account) I'm on Nobara 40 and using the flatpak version

I am also experiencing the same issue on NixOS using the nixpkgs version.

Fedora 40, Flatpak, Student Subscription. Same problem

[vhespanha]

Definitely not a subscription issue. I'll review the Spotify API documentation to check for any recent changes.

Also, for me, the error appears almost instantly. It doesn't seem like the server is even processing the credentials. This might indicate that the client is poorly handling the response from a possibly malformed request.

Looks like it's not spots fault.

[Psikyd]

Yes it has been resolved today for me !

[mobergmann]

I can also login again

Perusing the librespot issue, it appears that spot would need to be retrofitted with an oauth flow. Might be worth an issue for any repo owners.

This also affects me at the moment. Might be worth mentioning that I am using the flatpak build of Spot since there's no native package for Fedora

This issue is worth re-opening in my opinion since the issue is still present for a number of people (including me)

[vhespanha]

@SpamixOfficial, re-opened it. I never got to investigate it, but, since it's still affecting people I'll take a look and see if I can find something useful.

I'll also take a look once I get home. Thanks for reopening!

I was actually working on OAuth for my Spotify client in Rust before I found this app and gave up on it.
In fact, OAuth for the API was the only thing I finished implementing. I just made it public and would appreciate attribution if you found it helpful.

Same issue. Can't log in :(

Running the spot flatpak on Fedora Workstation 40. I'm unsure if this is relevant or not, but I signed up with a Google account and thus my account does not have a password (try going into settings > account > email and password field is greyed out). I've tried my username and email to no luck -- and since my account doesn't have a password, I tried my Google password as well, but to no luck. Perhaps it's best the login form be replaced with either an OAuth flow like @JJ-Atkinson mentioned, or a way to login via pasting an access token.
