Change your password on Spotify through the account settings page

Open Spotify on any device and go to your account settings. Click or tap your profile name in the top right corner, then select "Account" from the menu. Scroll down to the "Password" section and click "Change password". Spotify will ask you to enter your current password, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches. Click "Change password" again and you are done — the change takes effect when ready.

If you are using the Spotify app on your phone or tablet, the steps are slightly different. Tap your profile icon at the bottom right, then tap "Settings and privacy". Scroll to "Account" and select "Change password". You will be sent to Spotify's website to complete the change, since the app itself does not handle password updates.

The whole process takes less than two minutes. You do not need to log out of other devices — Spotify will keep you signed in on everything you are currently using.

Key Takeaways

  • On a computer or web browser, go to your profile menu, select Account, find the Password section, and enter your current password plus your new password twice.
  • On a phone or tablet app, tap your profile icon, go to Settings and privacy, select Account, and you will be directed to the web page to change it.
  • Your new password takes effect right away across all your devices without forcing you to log out.
  • Make your new password at least 8 characters long and avoid using the same password you use for other accounts.

Why you might need to change your password

You should change your Spotify password if you think someone else knows it, if you used the same password on another service that was breached, or if you have not changed it in over a year. You might also change it if you shared your login with someone and no longer want them to have access.

Changing your password does not affect your playlists, saved songs, or listening history — those all stay exactly as they are. It only prevents anyone with the old password from signing in as you.

What to do if you forgot your password

Go to the Spotify login page 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. Check your email (including spam folders) for a message from Spotify. Click the link in that email, which takes you to a page where you can create a new password.

The reset link works for 24 hours. If you do not use it within that time, go back to the login page and request a new one. If you do not receive an email at all, double-check that you are using the correct email address for your Spotify account.

How to keep your new password find

Use a password that is at least 12 characters long and includes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid passwords based on your name, birth date, or common words. Do not use the same password across multiple accounts — if one service is breached, attackers will try that password on other sites.

Consider using a password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or Dashlane to generate and store strong passwords. These tools create random passwords for you and remember them so you only have to remember one master password. They also alert you if a password has been exposed in a known breach.

Signing out of other devices after a password change

Changing your password does not automatically sign you out on other devices, which means anyone who was already logged in can keep using your account. If you want to remove access from a specific device, go to your account settings, scroll to "Apps and devices", and click "Sign out" next to the device you want to remove.

You can see a list of all devices currently signed into your account in that same section. This is useful if you notice a device you do not recognize or if you sold a phone or computer and want to make sure the new owner cannot access your account.

What happens if you change your password while using Spotify

You can change your password while Spotify is running on your devices and you will stay logged in. The app does not force you out or interrupt your music. However, if you sign out of Spotify on a device and then try to log back in, you will need to use your new password — the old one will not work.

If you are sharing a Spotify account with someone and you change the password without telling them, they will be able to keep listening until they close and reopen the app or until they try to log in again on a new device. To remove them completely, use the "Apps and devices" section to sign them out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to change my password on every device?

No. Changing your password in account settings updates it across your entire Spotify account. You only need to change it once, and it applies everywhere. You do not need to update anything on individual devices.

Can I use the same password I used before?

Spotify will not let you reuse a password you have used recently on that account. If you try to enter an old password, the system will reject it and ask you to choose a different one.

What if I change my password and then forget the new one?

Use the "Can't log in?" link on the Spotify login page to request a password reset email. The process is the same whether you forgot your password or just want to change it again.

Will changing my password affect my Spotify subscription?

No. Your subscription, payment method, and billing information stay exactly the same. Changing your password only affects how you sign in.

Can someone use my account if they know my old password?

No. Once you change your password, the old one stops working when ready. Anyone trying to log in with the old password will see an error message.
