I already unlinked my Spotfiy account from Facebook with this way: https://robblewis.me/convert-spotify-facebook-to-email-login/index.html https://robblewis.me/convert-spotify-facebook-to-email-login... No account migration of contacting support is needed. Just use your registered email account to reset (or in this case actually set) your account password and afterwards you can log in via your email+pw. Then in the Spotify preferences the button to disconnect Facebook becomes available.

Wow, thank you! I'll give this a shot tonight. I've been wanting to disconnect it for a while now as well.

When it says "disconnect Spotify in Facebook" does that mean deleting the Spotify app? Doing so warns me that it could potentially delete my account, which worried me enough not to go through with it.

  Yeah, that's what it means (to delete the app from your Facebook). I also got that warning but I ignored it and clicked through anyways. Confirmed that my Spotify account is still working via email/password login.

    Awesome, thanks for the confirmation! You're much braver than me :)

Wow, just confirmed this works. I can now log in to Spotify via email/password. Thanks for this! The only caveat is you will need to re-sign in to every device where you are currently signed in via FB.

  That is expected behaviour though after unlinking :) Cool that this works!

I was able to successfully unlink my Spotify from Facebook using this method without deleting my account or losing anything. Thank you for this.

Nice - this trick also works for Strava (for which I originally signed up using Google)!

  I actually liked having Strava post to facebook, but now I get an error every time I try to tell it to post a run I just completed to facebook. I might have to go into facebook's app settings and remove Strava and add it back, or to disconnect it inside Strava and reconnect it.

    This is a recent change on Facebook's behalf - apps are no longer permitted to post automatically on your behalf [1]. I can understand why they've done it (searching for that reference involved going through 3 pages of "how do I stop app X from posting on Facebook") - but for those who actually wanted that feature, it will be missed. 1. http://uk.businessinsider.com/facebook-no-longer-lets-apps-automatically-post-to-your-profile-2018-4?r=US&IR=T http://uk.businessinsider.com/facebook-no-longer-lets-apps-a...

Same here. Can confirm this method works like a charm.

This also helped with reverting to username from real name after unlinking.

thank you, I've just done it. Another one bites the dust.

Thank you so much for this.

Damn. I wish I saw this 3 months ago when I had to delete my Spotify so I could delete my account.

Thanks for this! My husband has been trying to join our family account for like years (I didn't even know he wasn't part of it and that we were overpaying my $10 a month until 6-8 months ago), and couldn't b/c he signed up with a Facebook account (back in 2011, when Spotify required that for new US users who weren't like me and already had accounts because of ...reasons) and support's official suggestion was to open a new account and migrate playlists, which just sucks. Hopefully this works!

Amazing! I've been looking for this for so long and even considered copying over all my playlists and manually doing this but this is a life saver.
