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

Open Spotify on your phone, tablet, or computer and go to your account settings. Select "Change password," enter your current password, type your new password twice, and click confirm. The change takes effect when ready across all your devices — you'll stay logged in on the device you're using, but you may need to sign in again on other devices within the next few hours.

If you've forgotten your current password, you can reset it from the Spotify login page without opening the app. Both methods work the same way whether you use Spotify Free or Premium.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your password from the Spotify app, the Spotify website, or the login page — all three routes take about two minutes.
  • You need your current password to change it unless you've forgotten it, in which case you use the "Forgot password" link on the login page instead.
  • Your new password takes effect when ready, but other devices may take a few hours to log you out and require you to sign in again.
  • A strong password should be at least 8 characters long and include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

Change your password from the Spotify app on your phone or tablet

Open the Spotify app and tap the gear icon (settings) in the bottom right corner. On Android, this is usually in the top right. Scroll down and tap "Change password." Enter the password you use now, then type your new password in both the "New password" and "Confirm password" fields. Tap the checkmark or confirm button.

Spotify will show a confirmation message. You'll stay logged in on that device, but if you use Spotify on other phones, tablets, or computers, you may see a login screen the next time you open the app on those devices. This is normal — just sign in with your username or email and your new password.

Change your password on the Spotify website

Go to spotify.com and log in if you're not already signed in. Click your profile name or icon in the top right corner and select "Account" from the menu. On the Account page, find the "Change password" section and click the button next to it. Enter your current password, then type your new password twice and click "Set new password."

The website method works the same way as the app — your password changes right away, and you'll need to sign in again on other devices when they sync the change.

Reset your password if you've forgotten it

Go to spotify.com/login and click "Forgot your password?" below the login fields. Enter the email address or username connected to your Spotify account. Spotify will send you a password reset link to your email. Click the link in that email — it will open a page where you can create a new password.

Check your spam or promotions folder if you don't see the email within a few minutes. The reset link expires after a few hours, so if you don't use it right away, you can request a new one by going back to the "Forgot your password?" page.

What to do if you can't access the email linked to your account

If you've forgotten your password and can't access the email address on file, you'll need to contact Spotify Support. Go to support.spotify.com and click "Contact Us" or search for account access issues. Spotify will ask you to verify your identity — usually by answering security questions or providing information about your account, like your username, the email you remember using, or payment information if you have a Premium subscription.

This process can take a few days. In the meantime, you can still use Spotify on any device where you're already logged in — you just won't be able to log in on new devices or after you log out.

Tips for creating a strong new password

Make your new password at least 8 characters long and mix uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using your username, email, or words from the Spotify name. Don't reuse a password you've used on other websites or accounts — if one site gets hacked, hackers often try the same password on other popular services.

If you use the same password across multiple accounts, consider changing those too. A password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or the password manager built into your phone or browser can store strong passwords so you don't have to remember them.

What happens after you change your password

Your new password works when ready on the device where you changed it. On other devices, Spotify may log you out within a few hours and ask you to sign in again with your new password. Some devices stay logged in longer — this depends on how Spotify syncs with each device type.

If you're concerned about unauthorized access, changing your password will log out anyone else who was using your account on other devices. They'll need your new password to log back in. If you think someone else has access to your account, change your password right away and check your account settings to see if anything looks unusual.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to change my password on each device separately?

No. When you change your password in one place — the app, the website, or through a password reset — it changes everywhere. You may need to sign in again on other devices, but you only change the password once.

Will changing my password delete my playlists or saved songs?

No. Your playlists, saved songs, followers, and all other account data stay exactly the same. Changing your password only affects how you log in.

How often should I change my password?

You don't need to change it on a schedule. Change it if you think someone else knows it, if you've used it on another website that got hacked, or if you haven't changed it in several years. Spotify will never ask you to change your password by email — if you get an email claiming to be from Spotify asking for a password change, it's a scam.

Can I use the same password on Spotify and other accounts?

You can, but it's risky. If one website gets hacked, hackers can use that password to try logging into your other accounts. A unique password for each important account — especially email and banking — is safer.

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

Use the "Forgot your password?" link on the Spotify login page to reset it again. You can change your password as many times as you need to.
