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.

Been playing pandora on my Sonos system for years. It stopped playing today. Went back to my Sonos app to restart it - told me my Pandora account needs to be reauthorized. Step 1 requires an activation key. Where do I get a key, and why do I need this after all these years?

I am having the same issue, this is such bull**ahem**.  I'll start using Spotify if this continues.  Cant find a solution for this anywhere.

Same thing for me.  Sonos with Pandora running as a service quit in the middle of the day today.  It is now asking me for a Device Activation Code.  I've searched this site and have tried all recommendations for resolving this and nothing works.  I can no longer play my Pandora over my Sonos.  If I can't do this, there is no need for me to retain my Pandora subscription.  I have seen multiple posts on here where a lot of people are having the same problem.  PLEASE ADVISE.

Sincerely,

William

Same issue here, it just did this an hour ago or so. I'm guessing they're having some sort of system problems.

Sonos is asking for an activation

Ditto.   No music without some ambiguous code!

[London100]

Same here

[tyguy1076]

I'm trying to do the same thing and I can't seem to find a stinking activation code.  C'mon Pandora/Sonos!  Help!!

[Ekirchhofer]

Same happened for me too

[Skantor]

Having the same problem.

 At least this sounds like a Pandora problem and not Sonos

[ChrisS]

I am having this same issue. Hopefully someone can help us.

thanks

Same issue. Please fix this Pandora! No code anywhere, locked out on Sonos.

[Hippiechic86]

Exactly why I am here! Same issue, just started!

[Granbery]

Same problem!  Can't find anyone to help!

[karlz]

Same. Having a bit of cabin fever here... Do I need to find a new music service?

[Hannon35]

This is not working

Same **ahem** is happening to me. And I’ve logged in several times. And no I’m not good to go!
