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.

This same error started occuring to me aswell - it’s been going on on and off for a month now.

I’ve only been using my acccount on my phone and my computer - right now I am only using the computer version, I was extra careful to close the app on my phone and the interruption still comes every few minutes. This is unbearable. After a quick research I see that this has been a persisting problem with the users of Deezer for a few years now, so it would’ve been the only appropriate thing for you to repair this bug or you’ll start losing members (I mean, I love Deezer, but what’s the point if I’ll lose my mind, clicking the resume button every 2 minutes...).

@Zamletipolz cool, don’t hesitate to keep us posted. Also, if the issue continues, you might consider changing the email address you use to log into Deezer. Most of the time, Deezer accounts get hacked because the email address was compromised. Just let us know if that happens :wink:

I am having this issue currently plus music that I don't even like or listen to is appearing on my playlist and other collections are being added to the recently listened to section.  Not happy at all

Hello! This same error message keeps popping up when I’m trying to listen to my music. I’ve disconnected all the devices multiple times, changed my password and updated the app, but nothing has helped. What can I do?

Hi @petra637 I am sorry to hear that.
I have closed session in all devices where the account could be open and I sent you a password request link to your email. Please click on the link and enter a new password.
If the problem persists, do not hesitate to contact me again.:relaxed:

The bug has not been fixed. I have done everything but Deezer is clearly not secure. I suggest Deezer take these security breaches seriously or I will vote my my wallet and cancel my subscription.
