Facebook has had its fair share of issues over the years with everything from a bug that made private posts public to the infamous data leak that had the site logging personal texts and calls among other things.
Earlier this week, Facebook revealed they discovered a security flaw that affected almost 50 million user accounts. There was a vulnerability point in Facebook’s code for the ”view as” feature, which allows users to see what their profile looks like as someone else.
Plus, the security breach affected accounts linked to Facebook, such as Instagram and Spotify.
Even though Spotify hasn’t experienced any problems, some users are trying to disconnect it from their Facebook account. However, according to the company’s support page, you can’t do it. The only way to unlink the accounts is by deleting your Spotify and creating a new one with a different e-mail.
However, Buzzfeed News found a way around it. Here’s what to do: On Spotify’s log in page, click “Forgot username or password?” and check your e-mail for the password reset link.
Once you change the password, go to your Facebook account’s settings and look for Spotify on the Apps and Websites section. Click on the checkmark next to it and then the “Remove” button at the top of the page.
A message will come up explaining that revoking the permission may delete your Spotify account but, according to Buzzfeed News, it doesn’t happen. Click “Remove” one more time, and you’re done.
