Pandora Update 4/18/20: I just got word from our engineers that the Sonos issues should now be resolved.

I recommend trying to connect your Sonos system again; You should no longer receive an error message for authorization. Please let me know of your results.

Pandora Update 4/18/20: We've received reports from listeners who report that their Sonos system is giving them the following error message: "Please authorize Sonos to use your Pandora account."

We've made our engineering team aware of this and they're working quickly to investigate the root cause. We will provide you all with an update as soon as we hear of one. Thanks for your patience and for taking the time to report the issue.

I'm not able to connect to my Pandora account through my Sonos application, although I can through my laptop.  Any suggestions.  All my other input sources work on Sonos, so I'm not sure if this is a Sonos problem or a Pandora problem.  Any ideas?

I sent an email to Pandora support.  Then my pandora screen came up and said I had to reactivat the pandora account on that device, but when I selected Pandora to get the code, all my stuff was back, so now I'm good.  I don't know if someone at the headquarters reactivated it or my reception of the station came back online.  All else worked OK.  Mystery fix.

I've been experiencing the same thing, but it won't send me an activation code.

It's like a self-licking ice cream cone; I'm going around in circles...

same here !

[ironmick]

Same problem as the others-Sonos quit a few hours ago and I can't reauthorize.  What's up????? 

[sverlind23]

This afternoon my Sonos won't work with Pandora.  I have Pandora on the phone and tried to remove and relog in but Sonos keeps saying i need an authorization code for the phone and to get it from my device.  I cannot get it from my phone.  What is the issues?

[ironmick]

Says reauthorize Pandora account.  "Please authorize Sonos to use your Pandora account"  Need an activation code-what and where do I get one?

[robe8153]

I have the same issue with Sonos on my iPad which is integrated into the Crestron system.  I never had to reauthorize before 

[Odedz5]

No activation code is displayed anywhere

[robe8153]

Same problem.  Pandora disappeared from sonos.  When I try to reconnect I get a prompt to input an activation code which I don't have.  Help!!

[kevinedwards]

I am now required to reauthorize my Pandora account for our Sono speaker system, I got my activation code but it doesn't work

[chelleswim]

Need an activation code to link my pandora with Sonos

[hartzells99]

I am having the same issue - very frustrating after using pandore on Sonos for years.

[jstory]

I'm having the same issue here. Just started a few hours ago.

[King]

any solutions ?

[drvera]

Nope.  I have had Sonos music system in my home for three years.  Today Sonos said I needed to reactivate Pandora. Where is the activation code?

Thank you,  Dr. Vera Jacobson

I still cant find an activation code to use on my Sonos
