Our master account is mine and I've created two secondary accounts: my wife, and my daughter (6 years old).
Could we add a way to have the secondary accounts log in without needing to log into the master account? Here are the reasons:
1. I use a really complex password that my wife cannot remember.
2. My daughter is using our old Squeezebox and it only can connect to the master account and no secondary. If the secondary user could independently log in, that wouldn't be a problem. I'm guessing many more apps would act like this.
3. Sonos only allows 1 Deezer source per email address. Allowing secondary user login would circumvent this issue.
4. My Master account isn’t interested in kiddy music but because we do listen to kiddy music on Sonos and Squeezebox, the Flow will be affected by and ruin it.
Allow multiple logins for Family Subscription
Enter your username or e-mail address. We'll send you an e-mail with instructions to reset your password.
I also agree with this - I don't like the one email/one password for every family member and feel it would be much better if each family member could have their own email and password log in.

Hello !;)) there is no problem) every family member have a personal username and for every username - is personal flow and playlists anyway. ;)) i think its not a big problem )
Ps But hard password for wife - problem is BIG
Please give ability to create multiple logins for family accounts!
Oh my gosh! you cant register one email especially for Deezer ? 🙂 and use it just with your family ? = )
why complicate everything so much? 🙂
It's a family account for family members so easy enough for family in the same house to think of a password they won't forget 🙂
Of course not. You're right .
Just for the moment, I think that social functions - such as "share" - are only available inside Deezer.
And
Here is "Alerts & sharing" interface for other family accounts: https://i.imgur.com/JSjv3Cy.png - where is 'Social music' and 'Send me' blocks?
So those aliases will only checks auth and on success - do full login in main account like now and set default profile to linked with entered email
This will close most of claims for family subaccounts.
Each family member has it's own account and you just need to invite the member to be part of the family. No need to know aboit the master account. Whish this would be same with Deezer.
As a fan of Deezer I have to write my thought about that.
You created some profiles and they belong to a Deezer account and are not independent anymore. This is rather complex and creates multiple problems:
I currently only see these benefits for the profile thing:
Keep in mind that all this creates so much problems and restrictions that maybe nobody wants to use Deezer for his family.
Maybe you can explain why you choose this way to me. Of course also via personal message.
Of course I can have missed something here.
Currently I don't see how to use a Family subscription without leaving Deezer.
So what do you think?
So please DEEZER... Make it possible QUICKLY. Shouldn't be that complicated.
Or please intensify your work together with the SONOS app programmers to include functions to choose the right account.
Otherwise I will very likely cancel deezer and change to Spotify.
I've also posted about this issue over here in which I suggested a PIN/password protection for family profiles.
Hopefully we'll see some resolution to this.
Exactly. What's ridiculous is that the API can't handle profiles, therefore lots of uses of your legitimate (and paid) family profile are prevented (I, for example, would use it on a Logitech Media Server / Squeezelite system, but can't, because only the master account can be used).
More ridiculously, Deezer has recently forced all the plugins for Mopidy (some of which could actually access secondary profiles) to be removed from GitHub, so the only way I had to listen to my music using my Raspberry Pi is now gone.
Deezer is a great service, but it seems like they don't really treat Deezer Family members like legitimate ones.
