Change your password through Spotify's account settings
Open Spotify on any device and go to your account menu — usually a gear icon or your profile name in the top right corner. Select "Account" or "Settings," then look for "Change password" or "Password" in the menu. Spotify will ask you to enter your current password, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches. Hit save or confirm, and your password changes when ready across all devices.
If you use Spotify on a phone or tablet, the steps are the same: tap your profile icon, find Settings, scroll to "Account," and select the password option. You do not need to log out and back in — Spotify keeps you signed in on that device automatically.
The new password takes effect right away. If you are signed into Spotify on multiple devices — your phone, computer, tablet, car — you stay logged in on all of them. You only need to enter the new password the next time you sign in on a device, or if Spotify asks you to re-authenticate for security reasons.
Key Takeaways
- You change your Spotify password through your account settings, which you reach from your profile menu on any device.
- Spotify requires your current password before you can set a new one, so you must remember what you are currently using.
- The password change takes effect when ready, but you stay logged in on devices you are already using.
- You do not need to change your password on each device separately — one change updates your account everywhere.
What to do if you forgot your current password
If you cannot remember your current password, you cannot change it from within the app or website. Instead, go to Spotify's login page and select "Can't log in?" or "Forgot your password?" Enter the email address connected to your account, and Spotify sends you a password reset link. Click the link in your email, create a new password, and you are done.
The reset email arrives within a few minutes. Check your spam or promotions folder if you do not see it in your inbox. Once you reset your password through email, you can log back into Spotify on any device using the new password.
Changing your password on the Spotify website
You can also change your password without opening the Spotify app. Go to spotify.com, log in with your current credentials, and click your profile name in the top right corner. Select "Account" from the dropdown menu, then find "Change password" under the Account section. Enter your current password, type your new password twice, and click the save button.
This method works the same way as changing it in the app — your password updates when ready and applies to your account everywhere. Some people find the website easier because the screen is larger and the menu is more straightforward.
Tips for creating a strong new password
Spotify requires passwords to be at least 8 characters long. A strong password includes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols like ! @ # $ % ^ &. Avoid using your name, username, or common words that appear in the dictionary. Do not reuse a password you have used before on other accounts.
If you use the same password across multiple services — email, banking, social media, streaming — change those passwords too. A password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or the password manager built into your phone can store strong passwords so you do not have to remember them.
What happens after you change your password
Your Spotify account is now protected by the new password. You stay logged in on devices you are currently using, so you can keep listening without interruption. If someone else was using your account without permission, they can no longer log in with the old password.
Spotify does not send you a confirmation email when you change your password, but you can check your account activity to see where your account is currently signed in. Go to your account settings and look for "Where you are logged in" or "Active sessions" to see a list of devices and locations. If you see a device you do not recognize, you can sign out of it from that menu.
Signing out of Spotify on all devices at once
If you want to sign out everywhere and start fresh, go to your account settings and look for "Sign out everywhere" or "Log out of all devices." This signs you out on your phone, computer, tablet, and any other device where you are currently logged in. You then need to sign back in on each device using your new password.
This is useful if you think someone has unauthorized access to your account, or if you are selling or giving away a device. After you sign out everywhere, only you can log back in with your new password.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to change my password on each device separately?
No. One password change updates your entire Spotify account. You only enter the new password the next time you sign in on a device, or if Spotify asks you to re-authenticate. Devices you are already logged into stay connected.
What if I change my password and then forget the new one?
Go to Spotify's login page and select "Forgot your password?" Enter your email address, click the reset link Spotify sends you, and create another new password. You can reset your password as many times as you need.
Can I change my password if I use Spotify with Facebook or Apple ID?
If you signed up with Facebook or Apple ID instead of an email and password, you do not have a Spotify password to change. You log in through that service instead. To create a Spotify password, go to your account settings and look for "Set a password" or "Create a password," then follow the prompts.
Will changing my password affect my playlists or saved songs?
No. Your playlists, saved songs, followers, and all other account data stay exactly the same. Changing your password only protects your account — it does not change any of your music or settings.
How often should I change my password?
Change your Spotify password if you think someone else knows it, if you used it on another service that was hacked, or if you have not changed it in over a year. You do not need to change it more often than that unless you have a reason to suspect unauthorized access.
