spotify - LibSpotify login with oAuth Token -


i built web app (among other things) provides access spotify library. obtaining spotify oauth token works fine web api.

my app allow stream music device while controlling web (or phone). sending (encrypted) oauth token device use libspotify play song.

unfortunately, can see, libspotify can't authenticate oauth token , requires plain text password instead? force me additionally ask user's password (bad ux) , store myself (bad idea in general).

@spotify there plan change , add support login via oauth token in libspotify? other way avoid asking both, oauth , plain text password user? android sdk accepts oauth token playback.

p.s. aware of similar question, facebook oauth token , quite old now.

i reached out spotify , got following answer:

  1. there no plans on implementing this.
  2. they not accepting feature requests or bug reports libspotify.

sounds bit discontinued @ point. anyways, answer question above: spotify seems force ask user authenticate via oauth, ask user again plain text password.

i'd happy proven wrong (maybe there's way oauth token via libspotify , password?) can't find there though..
