"Someone else is listening" Message

[AlyssaPandora]

"Someone Else is Listening" Message:

If you are receiving the message, "Your Pandora Account is currently playing on another device," or "Someone else is listening," then more than one device is streaming from your account at the same time.

While your Pandora account can be logged into as many devices as you like, they can't be playing at the same time. Regardless of your subscription level, the revenue from one Pandora account only covers the cost of one stream from one device. As long as you press pause on one device before you listen to Pandora on another, you should be fine.

Unauthorized User on my account:

If you believe this error message is popping up due to an unauthorized user accessing your account, and would like help with disassociating or removing any devices that are logged into your account, please contact our support team for further assistance.

At this time, listeners cannot view or remove devices logged into their accounts manually.

In the meantime, you can upvote this idea by liking this request if you want to see this as a feature offered on Pandora. 

Hope this information is helpful!

Hi @Dakini3! 👋🏻

I responded to your original post above. Are you having trouble resetting your password?

Let me know. 

[Strog050470]

No i stopped using Alexa last year becouse it was causing issues 

[Strog050470]

How do I do that?

[TannerPandora]

Hi @Strog050470 Thanks for posting. 

Can you clarify your problem? This thread is for listeners who may be receiving a message about someone else listening to their Pandora account.

Are you receiving this message or do you believe that there is an unauthorized user on your account?

Let me know.

I have an unauthorized user using my account too and need all devices to be logged out. Can you please do this?

[TannerPandora]

Hi @eroth5 sorry to hear this.

I've asked our User Support team to go ahead and remove all the devices associated with your account. This will automatically sign you out everywhere including any devices you currently have, so you will need to sign back in once this change takes effect. Please be patient as this may not happen instantaneously.

After you sign back in, I would recommend changing your password to something else. Let me know if you need help with this. 

Thanks for posting on community!

I'm having the same problem can someone please tell me what to do

[TannerPandora]

Hi @dadakay, thanks for posting! Sorry to hear this. 

Are you receiving this message on a device like your phone or while in your vehicle or both?

If you're on a device, can you let me know the type or if in your vehicle, the make and model?

Thanks!

I really need to be logged out of active devices. Seems I have left mine where I don't want it. Please help!

That being said, I am going to have someone from our support team contact you privately via email to help make sure this gets taken care of.

It seems obvious that all devices should be forced to re-log in any time the password is changed. Should be the default, although a user option NOT to require this does not really hurt. What really hurts is that I have no control over the usage of the account I pay for since others can continue to use the account indefinitely without my permission if they are able to log in only once in any way, as long as Pandora does not force new logins with every password change like virtually every other app I can think of or have ever used.

[AdamPandora]

@zinca4 I definitely understand your frustration.

If you need help removing any unauthorized users from your account, let me know and I can escalate you over to our support team for further assistance.

I can't figure out how to log all devices out of my Pandora account. I was recently divorced and I think my ex is still using my account. I changed the password but it didn't force log out.

[TannerPandora]

Hi @NitaNaughty7, thanks for posting and sorry to hear this. 

Looks like you emailed our User Support team as well. Please be on the look out for their response. If you need further help, you can simply reply back to their email. 

Thanks for being part of community!

[AdamPandora]

@Elmer_Fudd Nice to see you around the community.

Check out this post for more information on why this error message may be popping up for you.

Additionally, while there isn't currently a way for you to manage devices on your end to see who is logged into your account, I recommend giving a ❤️to this existing feature request: Someone else listening - Show what other device is being used

In the meantime, I am going to have someone from our support team contact you privately via email to help make sure this gets taken care of.

Hello,

I am having the same issue of getting the 'someone else is listening to your account' when I know for a fact no one else should be listening to my account. I have already changed my password. Can you please assist me in signing me out of all of my accounts?

[TannerPandora]

Hi @cicisunflower thanks for posting and sorry to hear this is happening. 

I've asked our User Support team to remove all the devices associated with your Pandora account. You'll need to log back into any device you're currently using. 

If you continue to run into this message, please let me know.
