It would make sense that Sonos had to come up with an account login finally. How else are you supposed to link the Sonos skill to you Alexa app? Amazon forces you to link whatever skill your adding to that skills’ login info.
BTW, does Heos require logins? Does Heos support Alexa?Does MusicCast support Alexa? As mentioned, HEOS requires login once and WRT the other two final questions, yes and yes.

I know I'm late to the party on this thread, but this may be of some use to some of you - [Link: sonos.com]This allows you to setup your customers Sonos with their email and a password of your choice. The customer then has 3 or 4 days (can't remember which) to confirm their account via an email they're sent.

Does that allow you to activate a customer's system without them having to confirm through their email?

That’s great for the initial setup. But it doesn’t solve the problem when you go back a month later to add another Sonos device.

I tried using the client’s iPad that she uses to control her Sonos to try to avoid needing the account password again. It didn’t work. To add the connect to her system required entering the password again. As for Heos, I think you might need the password for new mobile devices that connect to the system.

I first tried to use my phone to add it but I forgot it asked for the password now. So then I used the customer's iPhone and it worked perfect and didn't ask for a password. Maybe the customer had never used the SONOS app on their iPad before? Or maybe the last time they used it, they signed themselves out?

There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions. |

Anyone with the app can sign in and when done setting up, sign out. If the device hasn't signed in, the music on it (This Phone) can be played or, if the user's account is still active, starting Pandora, as an example, will continue playing their music. With a new phone, as long as the app has been installed and they sign in using the e-mail and password, nothing more should be needed unless the app needs to be updated, AFAIK.
