Fix 3: Try Switching Between Username And Email
During our research, we found a few users who shared that they were trying to log in with their email ID and had this error but when they tried to log in with their username the error didn’t come up.
So If you are trying to log in with your email ID then try entering your username and check if that works or not. But if you are trying to log in by entering your username then do the opposite and use your email ID.
Fix 4: Do You Have Access To Any Other Facebook Account?
If you have access to any other Facebook account such as the FB account of your sibling, partner or friend then try logging in to Spotify with the other person’s FB account, and then after a few seconds log out from Spotify and log in with your account. This sounds simple but it helped many users get rid of this problem, so you can try the same.
Fix 5: Did You Recently Reactivate Your Facebook Account?
In case your FB account was previously deactivated and you recently reactivated it, then this error is very obvious because once your account is reactivated it can take a while for you to log in again to your Spotify account. So wait for some time and try logging into your Sprofy account again.
Fix 6: Check For Device Or Network Level Firewall
If the error still continues then check if you have a device or network-level Firewall, if yes then make sure to disable your firewall and then try logging into your Spotify account.
