The only other 2 possibilities I can think of is that 1) I only recently begun using this account again after many years because I was mainly listening to music through YouTube. If the simple act of forgetting to turn off my music, which I know many many people find themselves doing as well, is enough to mark my account as "suspicious," then what is even the point of using Spotify. The only think I can think of that triggers it is that I sometimes forget to turn my music off so it keeps playing one album or playlist all night. I've begun getting these same emails constantly for the past few months with no reasoning or explanation. I got the same email from Spotify today and I know the frustrating but Spotify is just trying to protect our accounts as well as our information. Also, when your account is compromised, it's likely that your linked accounts like email account are compromised as well since many people tend to use the same password for multiple accounts so Spotify can't trust those accounts and send too much information to them. When you try to login back to your account that has been compromised, do you want Spotify to send your location to the bad guy's email address? No. Let's say someone hacked into your Spotify account and was able to change the email address to their address. Spotify could provide more information on the suspicious activities however, that could lead to some security issues. Many reliable and secure systems like banking systems would ask their users to do the same thing if they find suspicious activities on users' account. There is nothing suspicious or illegal about it!Īsking users to change their password and not allowing them to use one of previous passwords (usually the past 5 passwords) are common and best security practices. Especially since it's just ME using Spotify to create a new playlist out of the weekly new releases.
So please, Spotify, change your behavior analysis. I even changed the day of week for this "procedure", and it's still happening exactly the day after.
I get this mail almost every week now, exactly the day after I used my tool. I mostly play the first song of each album/single only for a few seconds to decide if the song or the whole album would be interesting.Īnd for the last couple of month exactly that seems to trigger those password resets. I think that because I wrote my own Spotify UI using their WepAPI to play music and create new playlists.Įvery week I use this tool to go very quickly through a huge playlist of new release to find the few songs I like. I'm convinced that Spotify also has some stupid AI in the background analyzing our behavior and then seems to decide from this whether it was "suspicious" in any way.
