Facebook and Spotify are tightly partnered together - at one point they actually REQUIRED the use of Facebook to log in. The option to register without Facebook was only reintroduced recently.
- seivan 14y agoNot true, I don't use Facebook and I was one of part of the Open Beta many years ago.
- RexM 14y agoIf you read the reply again, they allowed you to use a username, then required facebook, then reintroduced the ability to user a username. You probably were using a username, before they started requiring facebook.
- mitchty 14y agoIn the US, when spotify first opened up to Americans you could sign up without facebook credentials. About a month later, they decided to go facebook only for new setups.
- Superanos 14y agoSpotify started requiring a Facebook login from all new users on 22nd September 2011. On 6th December 2012 they put the non-FB signup option back. You signed up before they required FB so you never saw the requirement.
- nodata 14y agoIrrelevant: the point was that Spotify doesn't have permission or ask permission for what it does.
