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

The fastest way to change your Spotify password is through your account settings on the Spotify website. Go to www.spotify.com, sign in, click your profile name in the top right, select Account, then find Change password under the Security section. Enter your current password, type your new password twice, and click Change password. You will be logged out of all devices and must sign back in with your new password.

If you change your password on the app instead, the steps are similar but the menu location differs slightly depending on whether you use iOS, Android, or desktop. The web method is usually faster because you do not have to navigate nested menus.

Key Takeaways

  • The web method (spotify.com > Account > Change password) is the quickest route and works the same way on any computer.
  • You must enter your current password before creating a new one, so have it ready or use your browser's password manager to look it up.
  • Your new password should be at least 8 characters long and different from passwords you use on other sites.
  • After you change your password, Spotify logs you out everywhere, and you will need to sign back in on each device you use.
  • If you cannot remember your current password, use the Forgot your password? link on the Spotify login page instead of trying to change it.

Change your password on the Spotify app (mobile or desktop)

On iPhone or iPad: Open the Spotify app, tap the Home icon at the bottom, tap your profile picture in the top right, tap Settings and privacy, scroll down to Account, then tap Change password. Enter your current password and your new password twice, then tap Change password.

On Android: Open Spotify, tap your profile picture at the top right, tap Settings, scroll to Account, tap Change password, enter your current password and new password twice, then tap Change password.

On Windows or Mac desktop: Open Spotify, click your profile name in the top right, click Account, find Change password under Security, enter your current password and new password twice, then click Change password.

What happens after you change your password

Spotify logs you out of every device where you were signed in. This is a security feature — it means if someone else had access to your account, they lose it when ready. You will see a message saying you have been logged out, and the app will return to the login screen.

You then need to sign back in on each device using your new password. If you have Spotify on your phone, tablet, computer, and a smart speaker, you will need to enter the new password on all of them. This usually takes a few minutes total. If you have a device you no longer use, you can skip signing back in — it will straightforward stay logged out.

Create a strong password that you can remember

Spotify requires passwords to be at least 8 characters long. A strong password includes a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols — for example, BlueSky#2024Jazz or Coffee47@Morning. Avoid using the same password across multiple sites, because if one site is breached, hackers can try that password on Spotify and other services.

If you struggle to remember passwords, use a password manager like Bitwarden (free), 1Password, or Dashlane. These tools store your passwords securely and fill them in automatically when you sign in. Your browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) also has a built-in password manager that can generate and save strong passwords for you.

If you forgot your current password

Do not try to change your password if you cannot remember the current one — Spotify will not let you proceed without it. Instead, go to the Spotify login page at www.spotify.com/login, click Forgot your password?, enter the email address connected to your account, and click Send link.

Spotify sends a password reset link to your email. Click the link, create a new password, and you will be logged out of all devices. You then sign back in with your new password on each device. This process usually takes a few minutes, and the reset link expires after a few hours, so check your email soon after requesting it.

Why you might want to change your password regularly

Changing your password every few months reduces the risk that someone who obtained it from another site or service can use it on Spotify. If you reuse the same password across multiple sites, a breach at one site puts all your accounts at risk. Changing your Spotify password is one way to limit that damage.

You should also change your password when ready if you think someone else has accessed your account — for example, if you see unfamiliar playlists, recently played songs you did not listen to, or devices you do not recognize in your account settings. Changing your password logs everyone else out and prevents them from making further changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will changing my password delete my playlists or listening history?

No. Your playlists, saved songs, followers, and listening history all stay exactly as they are. Changing your password only affects who can sign in to your account — it does not touch any of your data or preferences.

Can I change my password on a smart speaker or car system?

No. Smart speakers and car systems do not have the menus needed to change passwords. Use the web method or the mobile app instead, then sign back into your speaker or car system with your new password when prompted.

How long does it take to change my password?

The change itself is when ready — you will see a confirmation message within seconds. However, you then need to sign back in on each device, which can take a few minutes depending on how many devices you use Spotify on.

What if I change my password but still cannot sign in?

Make sure you are typing your new password correctly — passwords are case-sensitive, so BlueSky#2024 is different from bluesky#2024. If you are still stuck, use the Forgot your password? link to reset it again and create a new one.

Can I see a list of devices signed into my account?

Yes. On the Spotify website, go to your Account page and scroll to Your devices or Where you are logged in. You can see each device and sign out of any of them individually without changing your password. This is useful if you want to remove access from a device you no longer use.
