Change Your Password Through Spotify's Website
The fastest way to change your Spotify password is through the web version on a computer or phone browser. Go to spotify.com and sign in with your current email and password. Once you are logged in, click your profile name in the top right corner and select Account from the dropdown menu.
On the Account page, look for the Change password section. You will see a field labeled Current password — type in the password you use right now. Below that, enter your new password twice: once in the New password field and again in the Confirm password field. Your new password must be at least 8 characters long. Click Set password when you are done.
Spotify will send you a confirmation email to the address on your account. Check your inbox (and spam folder if you do not see it) and open the email from Spotify to confirm the change. Your password updates when ready after you confirm — you do not need to sign out and back in, though you can if you want to test the new password right away.
Key Takeaways
- The web version at spotify.com is the most direct route: sign in, click your profile name, select Account, and find Change password.
- Your new password must be at least 8 characters long and entered twice to confirm.
- Spotify sends a confirmation email to your account address — you must open that email to complete the change.
- If you forget your current password, use the "Forgot your password?" link on the Spotify sign-in page instead of trying to change it.
- Changing your password on the web works across all your devices — you do not need to update it separately on your phone or tablet.
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 web method is usually faster. Open the Spotify app and tap the Home icon at the bottom (on iPhone) or the menu icon at the top left (on Android). Scroll down and tap Settings and privacy, then tap Settings.
Scroll down in Settings until you see Password and tap it. Enter your current password in the first field, then type your new password in the next two fields. The new password must be at least 8 characters. Tap Save or Done depending on your device. You will receive a confirmation email — open it to finalize the change.
What to Do If You Forgot Your Current Password
If you cannot remember your current password, you cannot use the change password method because it asks you to enter the old one first. Instead, go to spotify.com and click Log in. On the sign-in page, click Forgot your password? below the password field.
Enter the email address connected to your Spotify account. Spotify will send you a password reset email within a few minutes. Open that email and click the reset link — it takes you to a page where you can create a brand new password. This method works whether you use Spotify Free or Spotify Premium, and whether you signed up with an email address or through Facebook or Apple ID.
Changing Your Password If You Use Facebook or Apple Sign-In
If you created your Spotify account by signing in with Facebook or Apple ID instead of an email address, you do not have a Spotify password to change. Your login is controlled by Facebook or Apple, not by Spotify. If you want to switch to a regular email-and-password login, you will need to set a password first.
Go to spotify.com and sign in using your Facebook or Apple account as usual. Click your profile name and select Account. Look for the Password section and click Set a password. Enter a new password twice and click Set password. From that point forward, you can sign in with either your Facebook or Apple account, or with your email address and the new password you just created.
Why Your Password Change Might Not Work
The most common reason a password change fails is that you did not confirm the email Spotify sent you. Check your inbox and spam folder for an email from Spotify with the subject line about confirming your password change. If you do not see it after 10 minutes, try changing your password again — Spotify will send a new confirmation email.
Another reason the change might not stick is if you are trying to change your password on the mobile app while offline. Make sure you have an active internet connection before you start. If you have tried multiple times and the change still is not working, sign out of Spotify completely on all your devices, wait a few minutes, and sign back in with your new password.
Signing Out of Spotify on Other Devices After Changing Your Password
When you change your Spotify password, you stay signed in on all the devices where you were already logged in. You do not have to sign out and back in unless you want to. However, if you changed your password because you think someone else has access to your account, you should sign out everywhere and then sign back in only on devices you trust.
Go to spotify.com, click your profile name, and select Account. Scroll down to find Sign out everywhere and click it. This logs you out on every phone, tablet, computer, and speaker connected to your account. Then sign back in on only the devices you use. This is the safest way to make sure no one else can access your account.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for a password change to take effect?
Your password changes when ready after you confirm the email Spotify sends you. You can sign in with the new password right away on any device. If you were already signed in on a device, you stay signed in — you do not need to log out and back in unless you choose to.
Can I change my password on a smart speaker or gaming console?
No. You can only change your password through the Spotify website or the mobile app. If you use Spotify on a smart speaker, gaming console, or car stereo, change your password on your phone or computer first, then sign out and back in on that device using the new password.
What if I change my password but still cannot sign in?
Make sure you are typing the new password correctly — passwords are case-sensitive, so capital letters matter. If you are still locked out, use the "Forgot your password?" link on the sign-in page to reset your password again. If that does not work, contact Spotify support through the help page at spotify.com/support.
Do I need to change my password if I think my account was hacked?
Yes. Change your password when ready, then go to your Account page and click Sign out everywhere to log out on all devices. If you see activity you do not recognize, you can also check which devices are connected to your account in the Account settings and remove any you do not use.
