Bad Credentials Error

[jpgrovy]

Getting the BAD CREDENTIALS error we've seen in the past. Last year around this time we needed to update the desktop client version number to 117300517. Anyone else seeing this issue?

Have not checked if its the BAD CREDENTIALS error again but yes something is broken since a few days. Need to investigate in more details when I have time

Add: at least rust librespot did not change version yet

Thanks. Really appreciate any time you spend on this.

WT... just enabled logging to see what happens and now it works again ... ???? I honestly have no idea why it failed in the last days.

It simply went into a timeout I added in my app for the login I can imagine an issue with the CDN servers. As we had the issue with that SSLPeerUnverifiedException on some of them.

Or starting the rebuild app using a new hex device id triggered some login cache clearing on their side.

Weird. I still get bad credentials errors. Did you make any changes?

Is there a way to fix this? I get the error since today.

Spotify seems to have deprecated authenticating with username and password. To fix this switch to another authentication method or use go-librespot.

I'm getting the error again. I cannot switch to the go lib because I use it on android. What are the other authentication methods you mentioned?

[devgianlu]

@IVIanuu I am afraid the only way is to grab some stored credentials with go-librespot and use those. I don't think Zeroconf will work on Android.

[IVIanuu]

@devgianlu I was able to authenticate on android via zeroconf using this class:

https://github.com/powerbling/librespot-connect-android/blob/master/librespot-android-zeroconf- server/src/main/java/com/powerbling/librespot_android_zeroconf_server/AndroidZeroconfServer.java#L48

I store the device id, username and blob to create Session objects after the process was killed. Is it safe to do so? Otherwise I would need to always open the Spotify app and reconnect to my app.

[devgianlu]

@IVIanuu That works I guess, but the proper way is to retrieve "stored credentials" from the AP or Login5 after successfull login and then use those.
