Originally created by @kalenmike on GitHub (Feb 4, 2024).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/355

I was not able to find anything that answers this in the existing open/closed issues.

I came from spotify-tui which allowed me to authenticate with my custom app id and secret. With spotify-player I am able to configure the client_id and client_port in app.yml but I am still prompted to login (missing secret suppose).

If Spotify is configured only with Single Sign On we do not have access to a password for Spotify.

Is it possible to authenticate with only the app id and secret?
Is there any other alternative to authenticate without entering a password?

Thanks in advance for the help or direction to existing documentation if it exists.

Currently, the only way to authenticate the application is through "password". I'll explore the client_id/client_port option to see if it's possible to implement one.

Just a note that the client setup works for spotify_tui because it provides much less features than spotify_player, most of them are implemented by https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot.

Awesome thanks! I am currently blocked from using this then unless I am missing something as Spotify does not let me disconnect my social account and switch to an email/password configuration.

I will keep an eye on the progress and check out librespot.

Thanks again!

I'm pretty sure that Spotify will assign you a username (not email)/password if you connect via social account. You can check your in https://www.spotify.com/account/profile/.

@kalenmike you might have figured this out by now but if you go to https://www.spotify.com/account then scroll down to the "Security and privacy" section there is an option to "Edit login methods". You can add an email/password login and also delete the social account login if you want.

I was able to disconnect my facebook and then reset my password. After that I was able to add that info into the application. I may update the readme to add a bit more about the login to help others. I have always done SSO but this is not bad.

you don't have to remove your SSO if you like to keep it. Create a device password using the link below and you can login using your device password
