Change your Spotify password from the account settings page on any web browser
Open Spotify in a web browser and sign in with your current email and password. Click your profile icon in the top right corner, then select "Account" from the dropdown menu. Scroll down to the "Password" section and click "Change password". Enter your current password, then type your new password twice to confirm it. Click "Change password" again to save the change.
Your new password takes effect when ready. You will stay signed in on all your devices, but the next time you sign out and back in on any device, you will need to use the new password. If you use Spotify on multiple devices — your phone, computer, tablet, or car — you do not need to update the password on each one separately.
Key Takeaways
- You can only change your Spotify password through a web browser, not through the mobile app.
- You must know your current password to set a new one, unless you have forgotten it and need to use the password reset option instead.
- Your new password works across all devices where you use Spotify without requiring you to sign in again when ready.
- A strong password contains uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, and is at least 8 characters long.
- If you share your Spotify account with others, changing the password will not sign them out, but they will need the new password the next time they sign in.
What to do if you have forgotten your current password
If you cannot remember your current password, you cannot use the "Change password" option because Spotify requires you to enter it first. Instead, go to the Spotify login page and click "Can't log in?" below the password field. Enter the email address associated with your account.
Spotify will send a password reset link to that email address. Click the link in the email, and you will be taken to a page where you can create a new password without entering the old one. This reset link expires after a few hours, so check your email soon after requesting it. If you do not see the email, check your spam or junk folder.
Creating a password that is hard to guess
A strong Spotify password should be different from passwords you use on other websites, especially your email password. If someone gains access to your Spotify account, you want to make sure they cannot use that same password to reach your email, banking, or other important accounts.
Use a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols like ! @ # $ % ^ & *. Make it at least 12 characters long if possible. Avoid using your name, birth date, or common words that appear in a dictionary. A random phrase — like "BluePiano7!Sunset" — is harder to crack than a predictable pattern like "Spotify2024!".
Signing out of Spotify on all devices at once
If you think someone else may have access to your account, you can sign out of every device at the same time. Go to your account page in a web browser, scroll to the "Sign out everywhere" section near the bottom, and click the button. This when ready ends your Spotify session on your phone, computer, tablet, and any other device where you were signed in.
After you sign out everywhere, you will need to sign back in on each device using your password. This is a good step to take after changing your password if you are concerned about account security. You can also use this option if you lent your Spotify account to someone and want to make sure they no longer have access.
What happens when you change your password on a shared account
If multiple people use the same Spotify account, changing the password does not automatically sign them out. They can continue listening to music on their devices until they sign out or their session expires. However, the next time they try to sign in — such as after closing and reopening the app — they will need to enter the new password.
If you want to remove someone from a shared account when ready, use the "Sign out everywhere" option instead of just changing the password. This forces everyone off the account at once. You can then sign back in and share the new password only with the people you want to have access.
Updating your password on the Spotify mobile app
The Spotify mobile app does not have a password change option built in. You must use a web browser on a computer, phone, or tablet to change your password through your account settings. Open any web browser, go to spotify.com, and follow the steps in the first section of this guide.
After you change your password in a web browser, you do not need to do anything on the mobile app. You will remain signed in and can continue using Spotify normally. The app will only ask for your new password the next time you sign out and try to sign back in.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to change my password on my phone and computer separately?
No. Once you change your password through the web browser, it applies to your account everywhere. You stay signed in on all devices, and you only need to enter the new password if you sign out and sign back in.
What if I change my password but still cannot sign in?
Wait a few minutes for the change to take effect across Spotify's servers. Make sure you are typing the new password correctly, including uppercase and lowercase letters. If you still cannot sign in, use the "Can't log in?" option to reset your password again.
Can I change my Spotify password from the mobile app?
No, the mobile app does not have a password change feature. You must use a web browser on any device to access your account settings and change your password there.
Will changing my password sign out other people using my account?
No. Other people will stay signed in and can keep using Spotify. They will only need the new password the next time they sign out and try to sign back in. To remove them when ready, use the "Sign out everywhere" option instead.
How often should I change my Spotify password?
Change your password if you think someone else knows it, if you have used the same password on another website that was hacked, or if you have not changed it in over a year. You do not need to change it more frequently than that unless you have a specific security concern.
