Change Your Spotify Password on Any Device

You can change your Spotify password from your phone, tablet, or computer in about two minutes. The fastest way is through the Spotify app itself — open Settings, find Account, and select Change Password. If you are on a computer, you can also log into your Spotify account through a web browser and change it there. Both routes ask you to enter your current password first, then type your new one twice to confirm.

The process is the same whether you use an iPhone, Android phone, or any computer. Spotify does not send a confirmation email after you change your password, so your new password takes effect when ready. If you are logged into Spotify on other devices, you will stay logged in — changing your password does not force you out of the app on your phone or other places where you are already signed in.

Key Takeaways

  • Open the Spotify app, go to Settings, select Account, and choose Change Password to update your password from your phone or tablet.
  • On a computer, log into spotify.com, click your profile name in the top right, select Account, and choose Change Password.
  • You must enter your current password before you can create a new one, so have it ready or use the password reset option if you have forgotten it.
  • Your new password takes effect right away, but you will remain logged in on all devices where you were already signed in.
  • A strong password includes uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols — Spotify recommends at least eight characters.

Change Your Password in the Spotify App

Open the Spotify app on your phone or tablet and tap the gear icon in the bottom right corner to open Settings. Scroll down until you see Account, then tap it. Look for the option that says Change Password and tap it. Spotify will ask you to enter your current password first — type it in and tap Next or Continue, depending on whether you are on iPhone or Android.

Now type your new password in the first box. Type it again in the second box to confirm you did not make a typo. Tap Save or Confirm. The app will show a message saying your password has been changed. Close the Settings screen and you are done — you can keep using Spotify right away.

Change Your Password on a Computer

Go to spotify.com in any web browser and log in with your current username and password. Once you are logged in, look for your profile name or picture in the top right corner of the page and click it. A menu will drop down — click Account. You will see a page with your account details. Look for the section labeled Password and click Change Password.

Spotify will ask you to enter your current password. Type it in and click Next. Then type your new password in the first field and type it again in the second field to make sure it matches. Click Save or Change Password. The page will confirm that your password has been updated. You can close the page and log back in with your new password the next time you use Spotify on a different device.

What to Do If You Have Forgotten Your Current Password

If you cannot remember your current password, you cannot change it from within the app or account page — Spotify requires you to enter the old one first. Instead, go to the Spotify login page (spotify.com) and look for a link that says "Can't log in?" or "Forgot your password?" Click it and enter the email address connected to your Spotify account.

Spotify will send you an email with a link to reset your password. Open that email and click the link. You will be taken to a page where you can create a brand new password without needing to know the old one. Type your new password twice to confirm it, then click Save or Reset Password. After that, you can log in with your new password on any device.

Creating a Password That Is Hard to Guess

Spotify does not enforce a specific password rule, but a strong password is harder for someone else to crack. Use a mix of uppercase letters (A, B, C), lowercase letters (a, b, c), numbers (0, 1, 2), and symbols (!@#$%). Avoid using your name, your birth year, or common words that appear in a dictionary. A password like "BlueSky2024!" is stronger than "password123" because it mixes character types.

Make your password at least eight characters long — longer is even better. Do not use the same password across multiple services. If someone breaks into one account, they can try that same password on your email, bank, or other important accounts. If you struggle to remember different passwords, consider using a password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or the password manager built into your phone or computer.

Staying Logged In After You Change Your Password

When you change your Spotify password, you do not get logged out of the app on your phone, tablet, or computer. You will stay logged in and can keep listening to music without interruption. This is different from some other services that force you to log in again after a password change.

However, if you log out of Spotify on a device and then try to log back in, you will need to use your new password. If you have Spotify on multiple devices and you want to log out of all of them at once, you can do that from your account page on spotify.com — look for a section called "Where you are logged in" or "Active devices" and select Sign Out Everywhere. After that, you will need to log in again on each device with your new password.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be logged out of Spotify on my phone after I change my password?

No. Changing your password does not log you out of the Spotify app on any device. You will stay logged in and can keep using Spotify without interruption. You only need your new password the next time you log in on a device where you are not already signed in.

Can I change my Spotify password from the web player?

Yes. Log into spotify.com, click your profile name in the top right, select Account, and choose Change Password. The process is identical to changing it on a phone or tablet app.

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

Go to the Spotify login page and click "Can't log in?" or "Forgot your password?" Enter your email address and Spotify will send you a reset link. You can then create another new password without needing to remember the old one.

Do I need to change my password if someone else is using my Spotify account?

Yes. Changing your password will not log them out when ready, but the next time they try to use Spotify, they will need the new password and will not be able to log in. If you want to remove them right away, go to your account page on spotify.com, find "Where you are logged in," and sign out the device they are using.

Is my new password saved automatically after I click Save?

Yes. Once you click Save or Change Password, your new password is active right away. Spotify does not send a confirmation email, so you will know it worked when the page shows a success message or returns you to your account settings.
