Change your password directly in the Spotify app settings

You can change your Spotify password without leaving the app. Open Spotify, tap your profile icon in the bottom right corner, select "Settings and privacy," then scroll down to "Account" and tap "Change password." Spotify will ask you to enter your current password first, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches. The change takes effect when ready.

Your new password must be at least 8 characters long. Spotify accepts letters, numbers, and special characters. After you confirm the change, you'll stay logged in on that device — you won't be forced to sign in again.

Key Takeaways

  • Open your profile menu, go to Settings and privacy, then Account, then Change password to update from the app itself.
  • You must enter your current password before creating a new one, so have that ready.
  • New passwords need at least 8 characters and can include letters, numbers, and symbols.
  • The change works on all your devices when ready, but you stay logged in where you were.
  • If you forget your current password, use the web version at spotify.com to reset it instead.

What happens on your other devices after you change the password

Changing your password in the app does not log you out of other devices automatically. You can stay signed in on your phone, tablet, computer, and smart speakers all at once with the new password. However, if someone else had access to your account, they can still use it on their device until you manually sign them out.

To remove access from other devices, go back to Settings and privacy, tap Account, then select "Sign out everywhere." This logs you out on every device except the one you're using right now. You'll need to sign back in on each device you actually use.

Change your password on the web if the app method does not work

If you cannot access the password change option in your app, or if you're having trouble with the in-app form, you can change it through the Spotify website instead. Go to spotify.com, sign in with your current credentials, click your profile name in the top right, select "Account," then find "Change password" in the left menu.

The web version works the same way — you enter your current password, then your new password twice. This method is also useful if you're on a computer and want to change your password without opening the app.

If you forgot your current password

The app requires your current password to set a new one, so if you've forgotten it, you cannot change it from within Spotify. Instead, go to spotify.com on any web browser and click "Forgot your password?" on the sign-in page. Spotify will send a password reset link to the email address on your account.

Click the link in that email, create a new password, and you'll be able to sign back into the app. This process works whether you use a Spotify account or signed up through Facebook or Apple ID.

Use a strong password to protect your account

A strong Spotify password makes it harder for someone to guess or crack your account. Mix uppercase and lowercase letters, add numbers and symbols, and avoid using words from the dictionary or personal information like your name or birthday. A password like "Tr0pic@lSunset42" is much stronger than "spotify123."

If you use the same password on multiple websites, change it on those sites too. If one site gets hacked, attackers will try that password on other services. A password manager like Bitwarden or 1Password can store unique passwords for each service so you don't have to remember them.

What to do if you think someone else is using your account

If you see unfamiliar devices in your account or playlists you didn't create, change your password right away using the steps above. Then go to Settings and privacy, tap Account, and select "Sign out everywhere" to remove all other sessions.

After that, review your connected apps and devices. In Settings and privacy, look for "Apps" or "Connected apps" and disconnect anything you don't recognize. If you use the same password elsewhere, change those passwords too. Consider turning on two-factor authentication if Spotify offers it on your account type.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will changing my password log me out of the Spotify app?

No. You stay logged in on the device where you made the change. Other devices keep working with the new password too, unless you manually sign out everywhere.

Can I change my Spotify password if I signed up with Facebook or Apple ID?

Yes. Go to Settings and privacy, then Account, then Change password. You'll enter your current Spotify password (the one you use to log in), not your Facebook or Apple password. If you don't remember it, use the "Forgot your password?" link on spotify.com.

How often should I change my Spotify password?

Change it if you think someone else knows it, if you use it on other sites, or if you haven't changed it in over a year. You don't need to change it monthly unless your account has been compromised.

What if the app keeps saying my password is wrong when I try to change it?

Make sure you're typing your current password correctly — it's case-sensitive. If you're still stuck, try changing it on spotify.com instead, or use the password reset link if you've forgotten it.
