Can't Connect to Facebook Based Spotify Account

I'm using the Pyspotify Spotify client. In order to connect to a session, they supply a class SpotifySessionManager, which takes username and password parameters. However, I and many people connect to Spotify using Facebook, and once you have done so Spotify does not provide a way to get a more traditional user name and password. Any Pyspotify users know how to work with this common form of Spotify user authentication?

I have the same problem and solved it by creating a spotify device password through my spotify profile page: https://www.spotify.com/fi/account/set-device-password/

This password is than accepted together with the device user name by pyspotify.

As far as I know, you can find the username for your Facebook-linked Spotify account by:

  1. Go to http://www.spotify.com/
  2. Log in using your Facebook account
  3. Go to your account overview

The account overview should show your "native" Spotify username, which you can use with pyspotify/libspotify.
