Hi @Caro.Mark, hi @Jon M we are sorry to hear this is happening. The bug has been fixed quite some time ago. 

I just unlinked your accounts from Google+, unlinked all connected devices and sent you a password renewal link to your email address. Please click on the link in the email and enter a new password.

I would advise you to carry out the following steps in order to protect all your online accounts, not only Deezer:

  • Regularly scan your systems for malicious software
  • Avoid using the same password email combination for all online services
  • Change your password regularly and make sure it is a strong password combination
  • Use your email address as a login only
  • change other passwords (facebook and google)

Please let me know if you are still experiencing any further issues.

Same thing happens to me. My music keeps stopping and I get the message that someone else is listening. The only two devices registered to my account are right in front of me and only one is connected to Deezer. I've changed my password, deleted and re downloaded the app and it continues to happen. I'm about 30 seconds away from cancelling my subscription.

When I’m trying to listen to my music a notification pops up saying "Your account can be used on one device at a time". and stops my music.

Why is is this happening? No one else should be on my account but me and my own phone.

Same thing has been happening to me for days now. I've only got one device linked to my account. I've tried resetting my password, reinstalling app etc but still getting it.

Subscription cancelled

Hi there @Ddaji @Great Dyo @sven.siedentopf @Malagax @Nuala2

Sorry that's happened. You can find more info above. However, I've decided to unlink devices from your account and send you a password reset email, for added safety. Please change your password and login, directly with email. Please avoid to use Google or Facebook to login. And let me know if it helps! (even though you've tried that before @sven.siedentopf)

Many users have hasn’t the issue where their music cuts out after a few seconds and they get the message. Hmm someone else is listening.

Deezer have recommended unlinking your devices and reset your password.

Yet i I am the only person with access to my account and only have one device.

I have tried everything and nothing works.

Deezer needs to check their software as this seems to be a bug as so many people are affected.

If anyone figures out a cure please let us know
