How to Change Spotify password of the account that was signed up using Facebook
If you log in to your Spotify account using Facebook, you don’t have to set up your account password. In this case, you are accessing your account by clicking the Facebook icon. You would first have to set a new password for your account. Then instead of changing the password, an option to set a new password will be in the Account Overview drag-down list that will be accessible by clicking the account option in the top right profile menu tab.
After clicking on the set device password option, a new window will open on which you have to enter your email address linked to your Facebook account. You will receive details for setting a new password on the same email address.
Disconnect Facebook Account From Spotify
Suppose a user wants to disconnect his Spotify Account from Facebook so he can access it with separate login details. I am going to guide you on how easily you can disconnect it.
In Windows, users can disconnect Facebook by clicking on the profile tab at the top right and then clicking on the account. The account overview list will appear and then click on edit profile > Preferences > Social Network > Disconnect from Facebook. For Macbook users, this procedure goes the same.
If you still notice people lists and any other facebook details that may be due to data caching, then reinstallation of the application can fix this issue.
If you see the option to connect/disconnect, you definitely use a Spotify account built with Facebook rather than a dedicated Spotify account.

Tips for Strong Password
Password is the most significant layer of security for your potential apps. Your password must contain special characters, punctuation elements, numbers, and space. Your password length should be above eight characters to make it stronger.
It is advisable not to use the same password for all your apps. Your other apps will be safe if your account is hacked. A common issue among users is that they forget plenty of passwords; hence, it is suggested to use a password manager so that all your passwords would be safe and you can easily access them. There are many password managers available. You can use one after reading their reviews
Unfortunately, Spotify doesn’t support two-step verification; otherwise, your account will have an extra layer of protection. Users using Facebook to log in to their account can use App Password, which creates one time password whenever you use Facebook via a third-party service like Spotify.
