Fuck Deezer (lemmy.one)

I on a bit of spring cleaning deleteting accounts and such ( reddit fell victim to it today : ) ) that I don't use, one of them being Deezer.

OK so I went to the app I still had on my phone and looks like I can't even access it because Deezer free is no longer avaible on my country ( why? Fuck them users, that's why ).

That sucks let's go to the website just to be presented with same shit, but at least they let me log in just for fuck's sake because THERE WAS NO WAY TO GO TO MY ACCOUNT SETTINGS.

I then tried using VPN to no luck guess the account is associated with my location.

Stupid blockroads require stupid solutions so I said fuck it and subscribed Dezzer premium with their free 1 month trial.

That worked I could go to my account settings I saw the delete button, clicked it gave me an warning that I would have to retype my password, that would be fine if THERE WAS A FUCKING INPUT OR PROMPT.

So I searched around and nothing, logged in and out a few times, just to my FUCKING surprise THE PROMPT ONLY FUCKING APEARS IF YOU LOG IN WITH YOUR PHONE NUMBER.

Fortunally no other fucking shenanigans happened, now I just gotta cancel the subscription on PayPal, but what the fuck was this.

It's strange, I deleted multiple Deezer accounts over the years and Deezer never asked me the phone number, have you tried contact the Deezer support?

Nop didn't try it, I just wanted to get that done and the overhead of the back and forth would be worth it, worse case I would just delete the email associated with that account and go on with my day.

But I think most of my problems were due to the region lock, but that password prompt not appearing was annoying AF.
