I have a recent, stock build of Chrome as my default browser. No extensions, no adblock, etc.

Expected behaviour
I expect to log in.

Thanks for reporting. Based on the log and your issue description, I'm not sure why the (Failed to parse server response) error happened (first time seeing this error). I just tried to authenticate again on my machine and it still works fine for me 🤔

Just tried again with 0.21.1 and I have the same bug. I tried with RUST_LOG=trace and got this log:

@kabaskill commented on GitHub (Sep 22, 2025):

I had a similar issue where my session couldn't be created because of bad credentials. Then I noticed that my account is logged out from other instances (phone, pc etc.). Might be some account protection from Spotify because I've been using the CLI extensively since I discovered it.

However, after logging in again and deleting the cache of spotify-player, I was able log in again to the CLI. The cache of the CLI is kept here:

$HOME/.cache/spotify-player

for reference, I built the app from source because fzf feature for the cargo version didn't work for me.

i had a similar issue, where i could not start the application because it was unable to init a new spotify session

rm -rf $HOME/.cache/spotify-player/* did the trick
