Authentication failure

[briankung]

I'm getting this error with credentials that I tested to work correctly in-browser:

[2021-01-02T13:51:33Z ERROR psst_gui::delegate] connection error: AuthFailed { code: 11 }

Sorry, don't know where to look for logs, otherwise I'd provide them!

I'm getting this error with credentials that I tested to work correctly in-browser:

Sorry, but are they really the Device Credentials from the Account Settings?

[briankung]

Hmm, I don't have a "Device Credentials" section anywhere in my Account Settings.

[briankung]

I have an "Approved applications" section, but it doesn't list a way to generate a new key.

It looks like this on my profile:

Looks like this on mine:

Thanks! Do you have a Premium (paid) plan?

[briankung]

I do not, unfortunately

Oh then that's it, sorry. Unfortunately it's not possible to use the Spotify API without the paid plan :(

@jpochyla Hey! I have Spotify Premium but don't see the Device Password option

[jpochyla]

Oh, thanks for letting me know. Mind trying it with your regular credentials, please?

[MehediH]

I have tried with regular credentials because I wasn't aware of the concept of a "device password". Doesn't work.

[jpochyla]

Sorry, I messed it up a little. Device password is only shown in case of Facebook login, otherwise the credentials should be the username from "Account overview" and your regular password. These don't work?

[MehediH]

Nope :( I also don't get any errors, not sure if that's implemented in the UI..

[jpochyla]

Auth errors are missing from the UI unfortunately, but should be visible in the terminal. If you're on Linux, would you mind trying if ncspot works?

[MehediH]

Sorry, I am on Windows :(

[Kesefon]

The Save button seems to be missing on Windows.

A workaround is to manually create the config file at
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Psst\config.json
with this content:
{ "username": "Kesefon", "password": "password123" }

[MehediH]

@Kesefon Yep! That does work for now.
