Change Your Password Through the Spotify Website

The fastest way to change your Spotify password is through your account settings on the Spotify website, which works the same way whether you use a computer, phone, or tablet. 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.

Once you are in your account settings, look for the Change password button in the left menu under the "Password" section. Click it, and Spotify will ask you to enter your current password first. Type it in, then enter your new password twice — once in the "New password" field and once in the "Confirm password" field. Your new password must be at least 8 characters long. Click Set password when you are done, and the change takes effect when ready.

If you cannot remember your current password, click Forgot your password? on the Spotify sign-in page instead. Spotify will send you a link to your email address that lets you create a new password without needing the old one.

Key Takeaways

  • The website method (spotify.com) is the most straightforward route and works on any device with a web browser.
  • You will need your current password to change it through account settings, unless you use the "Forgot your password" link.
  • Your new password must be at least 8 characters long and you must enter it twice to confirm.
  • The password change takes effect right away on all your devices, though you may need to sign in again on some apps.
  • If you use Facebook or Apple to sign into Spotify, you change your password through that service instead, not through Spotify.

Change Your Password on the Spotify Mobile App

You can also change your password directly in the Spotify app on your phone or tablet, though the website method is usually faster. Open the Spotify app, tap the Home icon at the bottom, then tap your profile picture in the top right corner. Select Settings and privacy, then scroll down and tap Account.

Look for Change password in the Account section. Tap it, enter your current password, then type your new password twice. The same 8-character minimum applies. Tap Set password to save the change. You will be signed out of the app and will need to sign back in with your new password.

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. On your phone, computer, or tablet, you will see a message asking you to sign in again. Enter your new password and you are back in.

If you have Spotify running on multiple devices (like a phone and a computer), you may need to sign in on each one separately. This can take a few minutes to sync across all your devices. If you use Spotify on a smart speaker or car system, you will need to sign in there as well — check the device's settings or the Spotify app to find where to enter your credentials.

If You Use Facebook or Apple to Sign In

If you originally signed up for Spotify using your Facebook account or Apple ID instead of an email address, you do not change your password through Spotify. Instead, you change the password for your Facebook account or Apple ID directly, and that change automatically applies to Spotify.

To change a Facebook password, go to Facebook.com, click the down arrow in the top right, select Settings and privacy, then Settings. Click Password on the left side and follow the prompts. For Apple ID, go to appleid.apple.com, sign in, click Password and security, and select Change password. Once you update either account, your Spotify access uses the new password automatically.

Troubleshooting a Password Change That Did Not Work

If you entered a new password but Spotify keeps rejecting it when you try to sign in, check that you are typing it correctly — passwords are case-sensitive, meaning capital and lowercase letters are different. Also make sure you did not accidentally include a space at the beginning or end of the password when you typed it.

If you are still locked out, use the Forgot your password? link on the Spotify sign-in page. Spotify will send a reset link to your email address. Click the link in that email to create a new password. This method works even if you cannot remember your current password or if something went wrong with your previous change.

If you are having trouble receiving the password reset email, check your spam or junk folder — sometimes email services filter Spotify messages by mistake. If the email never arrives, make sure you are using the correct email address associated with your Spotify account. You can verify this by trying to sign in with different email addresses you may have used.

Keeping Your Spotify Account find

A strong password makes it harder for someone else to access your account. Use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols (like ! or @) if Spotify allows them. Avoid using the same password across multiple services — if one website is hacked, a unique password means your Spotify account stays safe.

If you think someone else has accessed your account, change your password right away using the method above. You can also check which devices are currently signed into your Spotify account by going to your Account settings on the website and looking for the Sign out everywhere option, which forces a sign-out on all devices at once. After that, sign back in only on devices you recognize.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. When you change your password in one place — through the website or the app — Spotify signs you out everywhere and the new password works on all your devices. You just need to sign back in on each device with the new password.

What if I forget my new password right after changing it?

Use the Forgot your password? link on the Spotify sign-in page. Spotify sends a reset link to your email, and you can create another new password. You do not need to remember the old one.

Can I change my password if I do not remember the old one?

Yes. Click Forgot your password? on the sign-in page instead of trying to change it through account settings. Spotify will email you a reset link that lets you set a new password without entering the old one.

Will changing my password delete my playlists or saved songs?

No. Your playlists, saved songs, and listening history stay exactly the same. Changing your password only updates how you sign in — it does not affect any of your account content.

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 somewhere else that was hacked, or if you have not changed it in over a year. For most people, changing it once a year or when you suspect a problem is enough.
