Change Your Password on the Spotify Website

The fastest way to change your Spotify password is through the account settings on Spotify's website. 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. You'll be asked to enter your current password once more, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches.

Spotify will show you password requirements as you type — your new password must be at least 8 characters long and can include letters, numbers, and symbols. Once you've entered a password that meets those rules, click Set Password and you're done. The change takes effect when ready, and you'll stay signed in on that device.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your password through Spotify's website by going to Account settings and clicking Change next to Password.
  • Your new password must be at least 8 characters long and can include letters, numbers, and symbols.
  • If you forget your current password, use the "Forgot your password?" link on the Spotify login page to reset it by email.
  • After you change your password, you may be signed out on other devices and will need to sign back in with your new password.
  • You cannot change your password through the Spotify mobile app — you must use a web browser.

Change Your Password on the Spotify Mobile App

The Spotify mobile app does not have a built-in password change feature. If you're using an iPhone or Android phone, you'll need to open a web browser and follow the website steps above. Open Safari, Chrome, Firefox, or another browser on your phone, go to www.spotify.com, and sign in to reach your Account settings.

Alternatively, you can change your password on any computer or tablet using the same website method. The mobile app will prompt you to sign in again with your new password the next time you open it.

What Happens After You Change Your Password

Once you've changed your password, Spotify signs you out on most other devices for security. If you use Spotify on a phone, tablet, computer, or smart speaker, you'll need to sign back in on each one using your new password. The device you used to change the password usually stays signed in.

This sign-out happens to protect your account — if someone else had your old password, they can no longer access your account once you change it. You can check which devices are currently signed in by going back to your Account page and looking for the Sign Out Everywhere option, which forces a sign-out on all devices at once if you suspect unauthorized access.

Reset Your Password If You've Forgotten It

If you can't remember your current password, you don't need to know it to set a new one. Go to www.spotify.com/login and click Forgot your password? below the password field. Spotify will ask for the email address connected to your account and send you a password reset link to that email inbox.

Click the link in the email — it usually arrives within a few minutes — and you'll be taken to a page where you can create a new password. Use the same 8-character minimum rule and include letters, numbers, or symbols if you want. After you set your new password, you can sign back into Spotify on any device.

Create a Strong Password You Can Remember

A strong Spotify password is harder for someone else to guess. Avoid using your name, birthdate, or common words. Instead, mix uppercase and lowercase letters with numbers and symbols — for example, BlueSky$2024 or Coffee7@Morning. The longer your password, the stronger it is, so 12 to 16 characters is better than the 8-character minimum.

Write your password down in a find place, like a password manager (such as 1Password, LastPass, or Bitwarden), rather than in a note on your phone or a sticky note on your desk. A password manager stores your passwords encrypted and fills them in automatically when you sign in, so you don't have to remember them.

Troubleshooting Password Change Problems

If you see an error message when trying to change your password, the most common cause is that your new password is too similar to a previous one. Spotify blocks passwords that are too close to ones you've used before. Try a password that's completely different from any you've used with Spotify before.

If the password change page won't load or you get a connection error, try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, then sign in again. In Chrome, Firefox, or Safari, you can usually do this by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Delete (Windows) or Command+Shift+Delete (Mac), selecting "All time" or "Everything", and checking the boxes for cookies and cached images before clicking Clear.

If you're still having trouble, sign out completely by clicking your profile name and selecting Log Out, then close your browser entirely and open it again before signing back in. This clears any temporary glitches that might be blocking the password change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to change my password on every device I use Spotify on?

No. You change your password once through the website, and Spotify automatically signs you out on other devices. You then sign back in on each device using your new password. You don't need to do anything else on those devices.

What if I change my password but still can't sign in?

Make sure you're typing your new password correctly — passwords are case-sensitive, so BlueSky is different from bluesky. If you're still locked out, use the "Forgot your password?" link again to reset it. If that doesn't work, contact Spotify Support through the Help section on their website.

Can I use the same password I used before?

Spotify blocks you from reusing passwords you've used recently with your account. If you try to set a password you've used before, you'll get an error message. Choose a password you haven't used with Spotify in the past.

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 changes how you sign in — it doesn't touch any of your music or settings.

How often should I change my Spotify password?

You don't need to change it on a schedule. Change your password if you think someone else knows it, if you've used the same password on other websites that were hacked, or if you haven't changed it in several years. Otherwise, once is enough.
