Two-factor authentication has been a staple of many online services for years. The technology secures accounts by requiring not just passwords but also a one-time authentication code. Spotify has been slow to introduce the service, but posts on Reddit suggest the company is taking action.
Spotify’s two-step verification support seems to be pretty basic at the moment. It’s not known if there’s a way to turn it off or on. Additionally, users can’t choose how the feature works.
The two-step verification code is only sent to users via email. There is no support for applications that generate codes yet. However, it is worth noting that this is due to the support being in its early stages.
Spotify is in the test drive phase for its new feature
Therefore, it would not be wrong to say that Spotify is still in the test drive. The fact that there has not been an official announcement on the subject confirms this situation. Nevertheless, it can easily be said that even the simple existence of two-step verification is better than not having it at all. Because the infiltration attempts, especially for Premium accounts, make this technology more meaningful.
Spotify has long supported two-step verification for artist accounts. Artists can receive codes via SMS as well as email. Additionally, third-party authenticator apps are also supported.
