Change Your Password Through the Spotify Website
The fastest way to change your Spotify password is through the web browser on any computer or phone. 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 Login and passwords and click Change password. Spotify will ask you to enter your current password once more for security, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches. The new password takes effect when ready — you'll be signed out of all devices and will need to sign back in with the new password within the next few minutes.
This method works the same way whether you're on a phone, tablet, or computer, and you don't need the Spotify app installed to do it.
Key Takeaways
- The web browser method through www.spotify.com is the most reliable way to change your password on any device.
- You must enter your current password before creating a new one, so have it ready or use your email to reset it first if you've forgotten it.
- After you change your password, Spotify signs you out everywhere and you'll need to sign back in on each device within a few minutes.
- If you use Facebook or Apple to sign into Spotify, you change the password through that service instead, not through Spotify itself.
Change Your Password on the Spotify Mobile App
You can also change your password directly in the Spotify app on your phone. Open the app, tap the Home icon at the bottom, then tap your profile picture in the top right corner and select Settings and privacy.
Scroll down to find Account, then tap Change password. Enter your current password, then type your new password twice. The change takes effect right away, and you'll be signed out of all your devices just as you would be through the website.
The app method works on both iPhone and Android, though the exact placement of buttons may look slightly different depending on your phone's operating system.
What Happens When You Change Your Password
When you change your Spotify password, you are when ready signed out of every device where you were logged in — your phone, computer, tablet, car, smart speaker, or any other place. This is a security feature to protect your account if someone else had access to your old password.
You'll have a few minutes to sign back in on each device using your new password. If you don't sign back in within that window, Spotify will sign you out automatically. On devices you use regularly, like your phone or computer, you should sign back in right away so you don't lose access to your music.
If you have a family plan, changing your password only affects your own account — other family members stay signed in on their devices and keep their own passwords.
If You've Forgotten Your Current Password
If you don't remember your current password, you can't change it directly. Instead, you need to reset it first. On the Spotify sign-in page at www.spotify.com/login, click Can't log in? and enter the email address connected to your account.
Spotify sends a password reset link to that email. Click the link, create a new password, and you're done. Once you've reset your password this way, you can then change it again later using the normal password change method if you want to use a different one.
Check your spam or junk folder if you don't see the reset email within a few minutes — sometimes email providers filter Spotify's messages by mistake.
Changing Your Password If You Sign In With Facebook or Apple
If you created your Spotify account using Facebook or Apple Sign-In instead of an email address, you don't have a Spotify password to change. Instead, you change the password through Facebook or Apple directly, and Spotify uses that to keep your account find.
To change your login security, go to your Facebook or Apple account settings, find the password or security section, and change it there. The next time you sign into Spotify, use your new password from that service.
If you want to switch from Facebook or Apple login to a regular email and password, go to your Spotify Account page, find Login and passwords, and look for the option to Create a Spotify password. This lets you sign in with either method going forward.
Signing Back In After Changing Your Password
After you change your password, open the Spotify app or website on each device and sign in again. Tap or click the sign-in button, enter your email address and your new password, and you're back in. On most devices, Spotify remembers your email, so you only need to type the new password.
If a device doesn't let you sign back in with your new password, try signing out completely first, then sign in again from scratch. On some older devices or smart speakers, you may need to remove the Spotify app and reinstall it, though this is rare.
If you're having trouble signing back in on a specific device, that device may not support your account type — for example, some older car systems only work with Spotify Premium, not free accounts. Check Spotify's device support page or your device's manual to confirm it's compatible.
Keeping Your New Password find
When you create a new password, use something you don't use anywhere else. If someone gets your Spotify password, you want to make sure they can't also access your email, bank account, or other important services. A strong password includes uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
Don't share your password with anyone, even friends or family members. If someone else needs to listen to your music, invite them to your family plan instead — they get their own account and password, and you stay in control of your billing.
If you think someone else knows your password, change it right away using the steps above. Spotify will sign out anyone who was using the old password, so they'll lose access when ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will changing my password delete my playlists or saved songs?
No. Your playlists, saved songs, and listening history stay exactly the same. Changing your password only affects how you sign in — it doesn't touch any of your music or account data.
How long do I have to sign back in after changing my password?
You have a few minutes before Spotify signs you out automatically. On devices you use every day, sign back in right away. On devices you rarely use, you can wait until the next time you want to listen to music.
Can I change my password on a smart speaker or car system?
No. You must change your password through the website or mobile app. After you change it, sign back into your smart speaker or car system using the new password through that device's settings menu.
What if I change my password and then forget the new one?
Use the "Can't log in?" link on the Spotify sign-in page to reset it. Spotify sends a reset link to your email address, and you can create another new password from there.
Do I need to change my password if I'm on a family plan?
Only if you want to. Changing your password doesn't affect other family members. Each person on a family plan has their own password and account security.
