Log out on the app or web player
To log out of Spotify, open the app or go to spotify.com in your browser and look for your profile name or icon — usually in the top right corner on web, or in the menu at the bottom on mobile. Tap or click it, then select "Log out" from the menu that appears. Spotify will when ready end your session on that device.
On the web player, your profile icon is in the top right. On the mobile app, tap the home icon, then your profile picture at the top right. Both routes lead to the same logout option. The process takes about five seconds and requires no confirmation — you are logged out as soon as you select it.
Key Takeaways
- Log out through your profile menu on either the app or web player; the button is in the top right on web and bottom menu on mobile.
- Logging out on one device does not log you out on others — you must repeat the process on each device where you want to end your session.
- If you cannot access the app or have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot your password?" link on the login screen to reset it.
- To end all sessions at once without logging into each device, change your Spotify password from the account settings on the web.
Log out on all devices at once by changing your password
If you want to log out everywhere without touching each device, change your Spotify password. Go to spotify.com, log in, and click your profile name in the top right, then select "Account". Scroll down to "Password" and click "Change". Enter your current password, then type a new one twice and save it.
Changing your password logs you out of every device and browser where you were signed in. Anyone else using your account will also be logged out. This is the fastest way to end all sessions at once, and it is the step to take if you think someone else has access to your account.
Log out on specific devices from your account settings
You can also see which devices are currently logged in and end sessions from the web without touching those devices. Go to spotify.com, log in, click your profile name, and select "Account". Scroll to "Your devices" or "Active devices" and you will see a list of every phone, computer, tablet, and speaker currently signed in to your account.
Next to each device, you will see a "Sign out" button or an X icon. Click it to end that session when ready. The device will be logged out the next time it tries to use Spotify — it will not happen when ready if the app is currently playing music, but the logout will take effect within a few minutes. This method lets you remove access from one device without affecting the others.
What happens after you log out
Once you log out, that device will no longer have access to your account. The next time you open Spotify on that device, you will see the login screen. You will need to enter your email address and password to sign back in. Your playlists, saved songs, and listening history remain on your account — logging out does not delete anything.
If you log out on a shared device or a device you are selling or giving away, the next person to use it will see a blank login screen. They cannot access your account, playlists, or payment information without your password. This is why logging out is important before handing over a device to someone else.
Troubleshooting: You cannot find the logout button
On the mobile app, make sure you are on the home tab, not the search or library tabs. Your profile picture appears only on the home screen. Tap it, then look for "Log out" in the menu — it is usually near the bottom of the list, below settings.
On the web player, your profile name appears in the top right corner only if you are logged in. If you see a "Log in" button instead, you are already logged out. If the profile menu does not appear, try refreshing the page or clearing your browser cache, then log in again and try the logout process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does logging out on one device log me out everywhere?
No. Logging out on your phone does not log you out on your computer, tablet, or any other device. You must log out on each device separately, or change your password to log out everywhere at once.
Will I lose my playlists or saved songs if I log out?
No. Your playlists, saved songs, and listening history stay on your account. They will be there when you log back in on any device. Logging out only removes access from that specific device.
What if I forgot my password and cannot log out?
Go to spotify.com and click "Log in", then click "Forgot your password?" Enter your email address and Spotify will send you a reset link. After you reset it, you can log in again. Changing your password also logs you out of all devices automatically.
Can I log out of Spotify on a smart speaker or car system?
Yes, but the process varies by device. On most speakers and car systems, go to the Spotify app settings on that device and look for "Sign out" or "Log out". If you cannot find it, use the "Your devices" section on spotify.com to sign out remotely instead.
If I log out, will my friends still see what I am listening to?
Once you log out, that device stops sending your listening activity to Spotify. Your friends will no longer see what you are playing on that device. Your overall listening history and saved songs remain private unless you have chosen to share them publicly in your account settings.
