Ah, silly me, sorry.

So I go to that page, and then what?
There is no way to "authenticate".
I am logged in, and the page says

Allow Spotify to connect to:

Spotify for Desktop
My User
Not you?

and nothing else. After a while, thapage times out with

The connection has timed out
The server at 127.0.0.1 is taking too long to respond.
