Spotify currently lets you log in using an email address, phone number, Apple ID, Google account, or Facebook account. None of those options provides users with a native Spotify passkey login, although our latest look inside the Android app suggests it is now working on one.
Behind the scenes, we found an internal setting to enable passkey authentication. On top of that, we found code that appears designed to begin registering a passkey with a Spotify account, which is a fairly direct sign that Spotify is preparing to let users create one.
Spotify was recently named alongside Netflix and Instagram as one of the largest services that still doesn’t offer passkeys. TechCrunch also said it had contacted Spotify for comment, although its report didn’t state whether the company had responded. If Spotify wasn’t keen to talk about the subject, we could speculate that this clue about what it’s building could be the reason.
None of this guarantees that the feature will reach the public, as Spotify could change or abandon its plans before passkey support becomes available. We’ll keep an eye out for other clues or some kind of rollout.
