Many reliable and secure systems like banking systems would ask their users to do the same thing if they find suspicious activities on users' account. There is nothing suspicious or illegal about it!Īsking users to change their password and not allowing them to use one of previous passwords (usually the past 5 passwords) are common and best security practices. Especially since it's just ME using Spotify to create a new playlist out of the weekly new releases. So please, Spotify, change your behavior analysis. I even changed the day of week for this 'procedure', and it's still happening exactly the day after. I get this mail almost every week now, exactly the day after I used my tool. I mostly play the first song of each album/single only for a few seconds to decide if the song or the whole album would be interesting.Īnd for the last couple of month exactly that seems to trigger those password resets. I think that because I wrote my own Spotify UI using their WepAPI to play music and create new playlists.Įvery week I use this tool to go very quickly through a huge playlist of new release to find the few songs I like. I'm convinced that Spotify also has some stupid AI in the background analyzing our behavior and then seems to decide from this whether it was 'suspicious' in any way.
