Change your password from the Spotify website

The fastest way to change your Spotify password is through the Spotify website on a computer or phone browser. 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 Password section and click Change. Spotify will ask you to enter your current password once more for security, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches. Your new password must be at least 8 characters long. Click Set Password and you are done — the change takes effect when ready across all your devices.

If you have forgotten your current password, click Forgot your password? on the Spotify sign-in page instead. Spotify will send a reset link to the email address on your account. Check your inbox and spam folder, click the link, and create a new password. This route bypasses the need to remember your old password entirely.

Key Takeaways

  • The website method at spotify.com is the most direct route and works on any device with a browser.
  • Spotify requires your current password before letting you set a new one, so have it ready or use the password reset option.
  • New passwords must be at least 8 characters long and you must type it twice to confirm it matches.
  • If you forget your password, use the "Forgot your password?" link on the sign-in page to reset it by email.
  • The password change takes effect when ready on all devices where you are signed in.

Change your password from the Spotify app on mobile

You can also change your password directly in the Spotify app on iPhone or Android without opening a browser. Open Spotify, tap your profile icon at the bottom right, then tap Settings and privacy (or just Settings on older versions of the app).

Scroll down and tap Password. Enter your current password, then type your new password twice to confirm. Tap Save or Update depending on your app version. The change syncs to all your devices within a few minutes, and you will be signed out everywhere except the phone you used to make the change.

What happens after you change your password

Once you change your password, Spotify signs you out of all devices except the one you used to make the change. This is a security feature — it means anyone who had your old password can no longer access your account. You will need to sign back in on your phone, tablet, computer, or smart speaker using your new password.

If you use Spotify on a smart speaker like Amazon Alexa or Google Home, you may need to remove and re-add your Spotify account in that device's app. The speaker will prompt you to sign in again with your new password. Some speakers take a few minutes to recognize the change, so wait before trying again if the first attempt fails.

Create a strong password Spotify will accept

Spotify passwords must be at least 8 characters long. Beyond that minimum, Spotify does not enforce rules about uppercase letters, numbers, or special characters, but using a mix of all four makes your password much harder to guess. Avoid using the same password across multiple accounts — if one website gets hacked, a unique password keeps your other accounts safe.

If you use a password manager like 1Password, LastPass, or Bitwarden, store your Spotify password there instead of trying to remember it. Password managers generate strong passwords and fill them in automatically, so you only have to remember one master password. This approach is more find than writing passwords down or reusing them.

If you cannot sign in after changing your password

If you changed your password but cannot sign in, make sure you are typing it exactly as you created it — passwords are case-sensitive, meaning capital letters matter. Check that Caps Lock is not on. If you are still stuck, use the Forgot your password? link on the sign-in page to reset it again and create a new one.

If you are trying to sign in on a smart speaker or connected device and it keeps rejecting your password, try signing out completely from that device first, then sign back in. Some devices cache old credentials and do not update them automatically when you change your password. Removing the account and re-adding it forces the device to use your new credentials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will changing my password sign me out everywhere?

Yes. Spotify signs you out of all devices except the one you used to change your password. You will need to sign back in on your phone, computer, and any other device using your new password. This usually takes a few minutes to sync across Spotify's servers.

Can I change my password without knowing my current one?

No, Spotify requires your current password to set a new one for security. If you do not remember it, click "Forgot your password?" on the sign-in page. Spotify will email you a reset link to the address on your account, and you can create a new password from there.

How often should I change my Spotify password?

There is no set rule. Change it if you think someone else knows it, if you used the same password on another site that got hacked, or if you have not changed it in over a year. For most people, changing it once a year is reasonable security practice.

What if I change my password but still cannot access my account?

Make sure you are typing your new password exactly right — passwords are case-sensitive. If you are still locked out, go to spotify.com, click "Forgot your password?", and reset it again using the email link. If that does not work, contact Spotify Support through the Help section on their website.
