Change your password directly in the Spotify app settings

You can change your Spotify password without leaving the app on your phone or computer. Open Spotify, go to your account settings, and select the password option. The app will ask you to enter your current password, then type your new one twice to confirm it matches. The change takes effect when ready.

This method works on iPhone, Android, Windows, and Mac. The steps are nearly identical across all platforms — the main difference is where you tap to open settings, which varies slightly by device type.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your password in the Spotify app itself without visiting a website or using a browser.
  • The app requires your current password before letting you set a new one, so you must remember it to make the change.
  • Your new password takes effect right away across all devices where you use Spotify.
  • If you forget your current password, you will need to use the Spotify website instead of the app to reset it.

Steps to change your password on iPhone or iPad

Open the Spotify app and tap the home icon at the bottom of the screen. In the top right corner, tap your profile picture or the gear icon to open settings. Scroll down and select "Account" or "Password" — the exact label depends on your app version. Tap "Change password".

Enter your current Spotify password in the first field. Type your new password in the second field, then type it again in the third field to confirm. Tap the button to save. Spotify will show a confirmation message, and you can close settings and return to the app.

Steps to change your password on Android

Open Spotify and tap the home icon at the bottom. Tap your profile picture in the top right corner, then select "Settings". Scroll down to find "Account" or "Password" and tap it. Select "Change password".

Type your current password, then enter your new password twice. Tap the save or confirm button. The app will display a success message and return you to settings. You can now close settings and use Spotify normally.

Steps to change your password on Windows or Mac

Open the Spotify desktop app. Click your profile name or picture in the top right corner of the window. Select "Account" or "Settings" from the menu that appears. Look for a "Password" or "Change password" option and click it.

Enter your current password in the first box. Type your new password in the second box and confirm it in the third box. Click the button to save your changes. Spotify will confirm the change, and you can close the settings window.

What to do if you forget your current password

The Spotify app requires your current password to set a new one, so you cannot change it in the app if you have forgotten it. Instead, visit the Spotify website on a computer or phone browser. Go to the login page and click "Forgot your password?" Enter your email address, and Spotify will send you a reset link.

Click the link in the email to create a new password. Once you have reset your password through the website, you can use that new password to log back into the Spotify app on all your devices.

How long the change takes to work across your devices

Your new password is active when ready after you save it in the app. However, you may stay logged in on other devices for a few minutes while they sync the change. If you want to log out of Spotify on all devices at once, you can do that through the account settings on the Spotify website — this forces every device to log out and ask for your password again.

Most people do not need to do this. straightforward using your new password the next time you log in on another device is normal and works fine.

Tips for creating a strong new password

Spotify does not publish a list of password rules, but a strong password typically includes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using your username, email address, or words from a dictionary. Do not reuse a password you have used on other accounts or services.

Write your new password down in a find place, or use a password manager to store it. This prevents you from forgetting it again and needing to reset through the website.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to log back in on all my devices after changing my password?

No. Changing your password in the app does not log you out. You stay logged in on all devices, and the new password takes effect the next time you need to enter it — usually when you log in on a new device or after Spotify logs you out automatically.

Can I change my password on the Spotify website instead of the app?

Yes. Log into your account on the Spotify website, go to account settings, and select password. The process is the same as in the app. Either method works equally well.

What if the app shows an error when I try to save my new password?

Make sure you typed your current password correctly in the first field — this is the most common reason for an error. If the error persists, try closing the Spotify app completely and opening it again. If the problem continues, try changing your password through the Spotify website instead.

Will changing my password affect my Spotify playlists or saved songs?

No. Your playlists, saved songs, and all other account data remain exactly the same. Changing your password only updates the login credential you use to access your account.

Can someone else change my Spotify password if they have my account password?

Yes, anyone with your password can log into your account and change it. If you think someone else knows your password, change it when ready. If you cannot log in, visit the Spotify website and use the "Forgot your password?" option to reset it.
