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.

I had the very same problem a few days ago.... opened up a Deezer chat with someone named Rita with regards to the problem.... I was advised to open a new Deezer account with a different email address and assured she would then cancel my old subscription and transfer all my music to my new account..... I did this and emailed as requested to instigate the promised playlist transfer and have had no response..... I have sent a further 4 emails chasing this up, without response..... I now have no access to my original account, a new account with no playlists (which I have built up over the last 4 years!!) and also, no reply to the fact that my original account was paid up until mid October and I cannot use it!!! to say I'm slightly disgruntled is a massive understatement!....

@Xavtiln @Hamilton44 For some users, the issue is gone after some maintenance is performed in their accounts. But unfortunately for others we stil l have to 'crack the code'. Thank you for your patience and support 👍🏼

Hi there @LenaG

Sorry that's happened. Please do contact our support team here to confirm your details and ask for a password reset. I've had a look here and the email address for your account isn't matching the one you use in the community.

Hi there @BLUEBERLIN



Thank you for reporting it. We haven't introduced any feature related to this. Some of our users are experience the error, so that's what we're working on.
If you're not willing to carry out troubleshooting tips, it's fine, we understand. How about not reinstalling the app, but changing your password? I've carried out some maintenance tasks on your account and sent a password reset email. Let me know if you're willing to try and if it helps 👍🏼
Hi @Rudi, I have already:
  • Removed all connected devices from the account
  • Reset my password
  • Uninstalled and installed the app again
None of these worked!
On Twitter, Deezer help it asking me to create a new account and tell you guys to move my stuff from one to another. I am really shocked and frustrated on how bad Deezer does on solving issues. So, your "solution attempt" means I can no longer have the username I want and I need to start all over again? I am still waiting for you guys to solve your issue, so I can resubscribe. But in case it takes too long, I will just start all over again, but with Spotify instead! Are you guys gonna be able to sort it before that? Cheers...


Hi, I'm having the exact same issue and am thinking of turning to Spotify since i have to start all over again...i will stay until the end of the month and if I don't get any help...well sorry Deezer, we had a good run...

Same problem here. Unlinked devices and changed password. That didn't help! I also have weird playlists not created by me:
Extreme Heat
Static

Fix this ASAP!
