Change Your Password on the Spotify Website

The fastest way to change your Spotify password is through the account settings on Spotify's website. Go to www.spotify.com, sign in with your current email and password, then click your profile name in the top right corner and select Account. On the Account page, find the section labeled Password and click Change. You will be asked to enter your current password once more, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches.

Your new password takes effect when ready. If you are signed into Spotify on other devices — your phone, tablet, computer, or speakers — you will stay logged in on those devices. The next time you open Spotify on any device, or if you sign out and back in, you will need to use your new password.

Change Your Password on the Spotify Mobile App

You can also change your password directly in the Spotify app on your phone or tablet. Open Spotify, tap your profile icon at the bottom right, then select Settings and privacy. Scroll down and tap Account, then tap Change password. Enter your current password, type your new password twice, and tap Save.

The mobile app method works the same way as the website — your password changes right away, and you stay logged in on all your devices until you sign out or the app refreshes your session.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your Spotify password on the website by going to Account settings and clicking Change next to Password.
  • The mobile app path is Profile icon → Settings and privacy → Account → Change password.
  • Your current password is required before you can set a new one, for security.
  • You remain logged in on other devices after changing your password; you will only need the new password the next time you sign in.
  • A strong password includes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, and is at least 8 characters long.

What Makes a Strong Spotify Password

Spotify does not publish a specific password rule, but a strong password is one that would be hard for someone else to guess. Use at least 8 characters. Mix uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols — for example, BlueSky#2024River is stronger than bluesky2024. Avoid using your name, your email address, or words that appear in the dictionary on their own.

Do not reuse a password you use for other accounts. If someone breaks into one service, they often try the same email and password on other sites. A password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or KeePass can generate and store strong passwords for you, so you only have to remember one master password.

If You Forget Your Current Password

If you cannot remember your current password, you cannot change it from within your account settings — Spotify requires your old password as proof you own the account. Instead, go to www.spotify.com/login and click Can't log in? below the password field. Enter your email address and Spotify will send you a link to reset your password. Click the link in your email, create a new password, and you will be able to sign in right away.

Password reset emails usually arrive within a few minutes. Check your spam or junk folder if you do not see it in your inbox after 10 minutes. If you do not have access to the email address linked to your Spotify account, you will need to contact Spotify Support through the Help section at www.spotify.com.

Signing Out of Other Devices After a Password Change

Changing your password does not automatically sign you out on other devices. If you want to force a sign-out — for example, if you think someone else has access to your account — go to your Account page on the website, scroll down to Your devices, and click Sign out everywhere. This will end your session on every device at once. You will then need to sign back in on each device with your new password.

Signing out everywhere is useful if you have shared your password with someone in the past and now want to revoke their access. It is also a good step if you suspect your account has been compromised.

Changing Your Password If You Use Facebook or Apple to Sign In

If you created your Spotify account using Sign in with Facebook or Sign in with Apple, you do not have a Spotify password to change. Instead, your login is controlled by Facebook or Apple. To change how you sign in, go to your Spotify Account page and look for the Connected apps section. There you can disconnect Facebook or Apple and set up a traditional email and password login instead. Once you do, you can change your password using the steps above.

If you want to keep using Facebook or Apple to sign in but change the password on that account, you will need to change it through Facebook or Apple's own settings, not through Spotify.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for a password change to take effect?

Your new password works when ready. You can sign in with it right away on any device. Devices you are already signed into will stay signed in until you sign out or your session refreshes.

Will changing my password delete my playlists or listening history?

No. Your playlists, saved songs, and listening history are tied to your account, not your password. Changing your password does not affect any of your data.

Can I change my password on a smart speaker or car system?

No. You can only change your password on the Spotify website or the mobile app. If you need to change your password and you are only using Spotify on a speaker or in your car, use a computer or phone to visit Spotify.com or open the app.

What should I do if I think someone else is using my account?

Change your password right away, then go to your Account page and click Sign out everywhere. This will end all active sessions. If you see unfamiliar devices in your Your devices list, you can also click the three dots next to each one and select Sign out individually.
