Deezer Desktop App - does not keep me logged in and too many Captchas

For some reason the desktop app (OS 😵 doesn’t keep me logged in, so I periodically need to sign in again.

 

Doing so requires spending 2-3 minutes clicking on pictures of traffic lights and fire hydrants.

 

This is absolutely ludicrous behaviour for a *desktop* app. Honestly, the desktop app shouldn’t auto-logout at all. If you are so worried about robots, then switch to 2-factor authentication or something.

Hi all,

Thank you for all the answers provided so far - very helpful! Our developers who are investigating this problem have asked for more info from you to speed up the process. Could you please tell us:

  • Do you have to log in every time you relaunch the app or is this happening every time the app gets an update?
  • When you get logged out, can you log back in straight away or you need to restart the app?
  • Have you downloaded the app from the Windows Store or using a direct link for the .exe file?

Let us know the most you can, it can help us fix this quicker :thumbsup_tone2:

Same here. The app keeps logging me out once in a week or so with captcha.

Win 10, Deezer 4.18.60.0 from Windows Store. The issue is not only with the latest version.

Hi there @Klaas Decuypere @n1gth 

Sorry to hear that. What version exactly do you have installed?

@blackpaw keep us posted :thumbsup_tone2:

 

Ok, the app just logged me out in the middle of playing an Album. I had to go through 9 captcha’s before it let me back on! This is really intolerable.

 

Also, it initially wouldn’t let authenticate at all - kept saying my details were incorrect despite definitely having the right email and password. I had to close the app (right-click system tray icon, Quit Deezer) and restart it before I could even get past the login screen.

Win 10, Deezer 4.18.60.0 from Windows Store

 

Edit: The Logout does seem to have coincided with me doing a manual “Downloads and updates|Get Updates” from the windows store - it did update two apps, MSN News and MS Weather.

Hi, I’m having the same issue. Every time I restart my laptop, I have to go through the login process again. It’s irritating and time consuming. My OS is Windows 10 Enterprise and  app verision 4.18.6., all software is up to date.

Hi @blackpaw many apologies this has happened. It is normal that updates disrupt your other apps as well. Well done for having closed the Deezer App in your system tray and re-opening it. This is the only way it works. Thank you for your patience.

Same on Mac, and I’m getting really tired of this crap.

I do not want to have to log in each time, please have your coders set some type of check box to allow the app’s to store login. I have checked security and gave permissions in the Mac book preferences.

MacOS Catalina vs 10.15.3
Deezer app for Mac 4.18.40 (4.18.40.48)

  • it’s from the Windows Store

This has not been solved. Every few weeks or so I need te re-signin on my desktop-app and go true a verification proces as described above. It's paid account so no, I'm not a robot. Please get rid of it.
