If a person or device should no longer have access, remove saved credentials from devices you control and ask the service how to revoke or replace the relevant access. Merely deleting a player from your own phone does not remove copies held elsewhere. Keep the support request focused on the account reference and the access that should end, without posting the password publicly.
Why it matters
Access can remain on saved devices after a person stops using the account. Removing a shortcut is only a local change. The provider's credential and registration controls determine whether copies retained elsewhere still work, so retiring access needs the appropriate supported process rather than a visual tidy-up alone.
Work through the steps
- Identify which devices or people previously received the credentials and remove the saved account from devices still under your control when appropriate.
- Ask verified support what account change is needed to invalidate access you cannot remove yourself, using the order or account reference privately.
- Update the authorised devices with any replacement details and stop using the old playlist so the access change remains clear and consistent.
What to avoid
Renaming a source or removing one device icon does not necessarily revoke credentials. Avoid assuming another saved copy is invalid until the relevant account change, registration removal or supported revocation has actually been confirmed by the responsible provider.
The useful takeaway
Identify the access that should end and use the supported revocation process. Preserve authorised use while confirming obsolete credentials or registrations are retired, rather than relying on local shortcut removal.
