I wrote a simple web app to work with last.fm's api. A little fiddly, but in essense it worked. Somewhere buried in settings were all the apps that have access to my account. I then went back to Spotify and noticed it wanted my username and password. And ever since, I just haven't been bothered. I'd rather some throwaway autogenerated app linking passwords and authenticating consistency.

Copying and pasting links isn't that hard. Go to last.fm, generate OTP token/link, paste into Spotify. Done. I should have some easy way to identify authenticated apps under my account and kick them out, or reset all.

Not all of us use Web mail. And I might not want a link automagically opened there and then, under a browser.
