My Deezer account is being used by someone else


Hello, I keep finding music saved to my favourites and playlists that I have not set up or even listened to and also saying someone is listening the same time as I'm using my account. I have tried resetting my password, logging in and out and still having these issues??

Hello @Pablo Sepúlveda Guerrero I am sorry to hear that.
Please get in touch with our Deezer Support Team and one of our agents will check your account and help with your request.
Thanks


I'm having the same problem. I'm using Google sign in account and Mercado Libre offer. The music keeps pausing by itself and sometimes a message pops up saying that Deezer is being used somewhere else (I haven't given my credentials to anybody). And there's music in my history that I can't recognize (many russian pop music songs)

Thank you, I have changed my email and my Deezer password. Me and my partner do share the one account however he was sleeping at the time I was trying to listen so it definitely wasn't him, which is why I was confused and frustrated

Hi @Jen94sorry to hear that you are having this kind of experience. 

Checking your account, I notice that you have a Premium account and two devices ( iPhone and Google Pixel), Just for your information if you and your husband use the same account, one of you will keep receiving this alert message.

Anyway to prevent any further issue in case you have separate Deezer accounts, I have unlinked programs and devices from your account to eliminate any unwanted devices and closed all open sessions on your account.

In order to enhance security on your Deezer account I suggest that you update your mailbox password.

Once it's done, please reset your Deezer account password here
Choose a password with at least 12 characters including a capital letter, a number and a special character.
Always use your email and password to access our app, avoiding linking your account to Facebook or Google.

To secure all your online accounts, I advise you to regularly scan your systems for malicious software (fishing!);
Avoid using the same email and password combination for all online services; 
Use your email address and password as login in the app; Scan your device for possible virus and avoid using your Deezer on the devices or PCs of friends and family, they may contain viruses and have access to your data.

Me and my partner are not listening at the same time, I have a premium subscription. He was asleep when I was trying to listen and hadn't been active since 6pm.

none of the other devices I have connected was listening at the same time as me. I've also had all my 1500 favourited/downloaded songs disappear today.

Are you and your partner listening at the same time? Do you have a Family account? 

Do you receive an error message?

Same problem, deezer family. Someone connects, usually with an android device. I disconnect this device and it reconnects under another devicename.I’ve changed the password, but he keeps reconnecting, seems to be someone from Israël looking at what he/she plays.


Hello deezer, 

ive the same problem,

apparently someone use my profil, I already had this problem 10month ago….can you fix it?? It’s really annoying.

Your network is it secure? I’ve lot of doubt now and to be honest I’m thinking to go to Spotify.

I don’t think you can do that at the moment but is a good idea to suggest in “request a feature”.
What you can do is to follow the steps in the following article in the community:
