On March 8, 2022, the music streaming service Spotify experienced an outage that logged users out of their accounts without the ability to log back in. It appeared to occur sometime around 1:15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST).
Users were logged out and prompted to log back in. Upon entering their email address, they were told that the music streaming platform did not recognize their email as having been associated with an account. Snopes was unsuccessful at logging in to both the iPhone app and desktop versions of Spotify.
As of this publication, Spotify did acknowledge on Twitter that the service was down but did not release specific information about the outage:
Something’s not quite right, and we’re looking into it. Thanks for your reports!

We have contacted Spotify requesting further clarification as to what prompted the outage. Spotify announced at approximately 2:40 p.m. EST that the streaming service was back online.
Everything’s looking much better now! Give @SpotifyCares a shout if you still need help.
