The error is not a major one and it can often be dealt with easily if you just follow the instructions we have prepared below. They were taken from users who confirmed that they worked for them so we hope it will work for you too.
What Causes Spotify Error Code 3?
The problem is often related to a password error, possibly when changes have been made to password requirements for Spotify. This can be fixed simply by resetting your Spotify password. Also, users have reported that they were able to solve it simply by using their Spotify username instead of the email or vice versa. Finally, any VPN tools you may have running on your computer might cause the problem and you should uninstall them immediately.
Solution 1: Reset Your Spotify Password
This number 1 workaround is great because it often fixes the problem immediately as it did for plenty of users before but you will have to change your password to something else so make sure you don’t forget it!
Solution 2: Use Username instead of an Email or Vice Versa
Yes, this was able to solve this temporary problem for plenty of users. If you were trying to log in using the email you use for Spotify, try using your username. The same goes for users trying to log in with the username. Check to see if the Spotify error code 3 has ceased to appear! Note: The username is just the first part of your email address, before the ‘@’ character! For Facebook login users, the process can be somewhat more complicated but it’s still quite easy!
Solution 3: Uninstall Your VPN Tool
Using a VPN while using Spotify is definitely not recommended, especially because Spotify is not even available in each part of the world and wrongly setup VPN network can also cause this error immediately. We suggest you uninstall the program for the VPN you use as well as the driver which might remain. After you have uninstalled the program, its driver may have remained on your computer and issues may still appear if you don’t uninstall it by using the Device Manager. Follow the instructions below.
