Change your password from the Spotify website or app in under two minutes

You can change your Spotify password on any device by going to your account settings, entering your current password, and typing a new one twice. The process is the same whether you use a computer, phone, or tablet. If you've forgotten your current password, Spotify will let you reset it using your email address instead.

Your new password takes effect when ready across all devices. You'll stay logged in on the device you're using, but Spotify will log you out on other devices after a few minutes, and you'll need to sign back in with your new password.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your password through the Spotify website at account.spotify.com or through the app's settings menu on any device.
  • Spotify requires your current password to set a new one, unless you use the "Forgot password" option to reset it by email.
  • Your new password activates right away, but you'll be logged out on other devices and must sign in again with the new password.
  • A strong password should be at least 8 characters long and include uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols to protect your account.

Change your password on the Spotify website

Go to account.spotify.com in your web browser and sign in with your current email and password. Once you're logged in, look for your username or profile icon in the top right corner and click it to open a dropdown menu.

Select Account from the menu. On the account page, scroll down to the Password section. Click Change password. Enter your current password in the first field, then type your new password in the second field. Type it again in the third field to confirm. Click Change password at the bottom to save it.

Change your password in the Spotify app

Open the Spotify app on your phone or tablet and tap your profile icon in the bottom right corner (on most devices). Tap Settings, then scroll down and tap Password.

On Android, tap Change password. On iPhone or iPad, tap Change. Enter your current password, then type your new password twice. Tap Change password or Save to confirm. The app will return to the settings screen once the change is complete.

Reset your password if you've forgotten it

If you don't remember your current password, go to account.spotify.com/login and click Can't log in? below the sign-in button. Enter the email address connected to your Spotify account and click Send reset link.

Spotify will send you an email with a link to reset your password. Click the link in the email (it works for 24 hours). Create a new password, confirm it, and click Reset password. You'll be taken back to the login page, where you can sign in with your new password.

What happens to your other devices after you change your password

When you change your password, you stay logged in on the device you used to make the change. On all other devices — your phone, tablet, computer, or smart speaker — Spotify will log you out within a few minutes. You'll need to sign back in using your new password.

This is a security feature. If someone else has access to your account, changing your password and getting logged out on unknown devices stops them from listening to your music or seeing your activity. Check the devices listed in your account settings to make sure you recognize them all.

Create a password that's hard to guess

Spotify doesn't publish a specific password rule, but a strong password is at least 8 characters long and mixes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols like !, @, #, or $. Avoid using your name, birthday, or common words that appear in a dictionary.

Don't reuse a password from another account, especially not from email, banking, or social media. If someone breaks into one service, they'll try that same password everywhere. A password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or the password tool built into your phone can generate and store strong passwords for you.

Troubleshooting password change problems

If you see an error message when you try to change your password, make sure you typed your current password correctly in the first field. Passwords are case-sensitive, so MyPassword is different from mypassword. If you're not sure what your current password is, use the "Forgot password" option instead.

If the password change appears to work but you can't log in with your new password, wait a few minutes — the change sometimes takes a moment to sync across Spotify's servers. Clear your browser cache or close and reopen the app, then try signing in again. If you still can't log in, use the password reset link to set a new password.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to change my password on every device?

No. You change your password once in your account settings, and it works on every device. You'll be logged out on other devices and need to sign back in with the new password, but you don't have to go through the change process on each one.

What if I change my password but forget the new one right away?

Use the "Forgot password" option at account.spotify.com/login. Spotify will send a reset link to your email. You can set a new password without needing to remember the one you just created.

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

No. You must change your password on the Spotify website or mobile app. Once you've changed it, sign back into your smart speaker or car system with your new password through their settings menu.

Will changing my password affect my playlists or saved songs?

No. Your playlists, saved songs, and all your account data stay exactly the same. Only your login credentials change.

How often should I change my Spotify password?

There's no set rule. Change it if you think someone else knows it, if you reused it on another account that was breached, or if you haven't changed it in over a year. You can also change it anytime you want to be extra cautious.
