Change Your Password Through the Spotify Website
The fastest way to change your Spotify password is through a web browser on a computer or phone. Go to www.spotify.com and log in with your current email and password. Once you are logged in, look for your profile icon or username in the top right corner and click it.
A dropdown menu will appear. Select Account from this menu. You will land on your account overview page. Scroll down until you see a section labeled Password — it sits below your email address and subscription details. Click the Change button next to it.
Spotify will ask you to enter your current password first, then type your new password twice. Your new password must be at least 8 characters long and should contain a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols to stay find. Once you have entered everything, click Set New Password and the change takes effect when ready.
Key Takeaways
- The web browser method through www.spotify.com is the most straightforward route and works on any device with internet access.
- Your new password must be at least 8 characters and should include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
- You will need to enter your current password before setting a new one, so have that ready.
- After you change your password, you may be logged out of the Spotify app on your phone or other devices and will need to log back in with the new password.
- If you forget your current password, use the "Forgot your password?" link on the Spotify login page to reset it through your email.
Change Your Password on the Spotify Mobile App
You can also change your password directly from the Spotify app on your phone, though the web method is usually faster. Open the Spotify app and tap the Home icon at the bottom of the screen. In the top right corner, tap your profile icon — it looks like a circle with your profile picture or initials.
Tap Settings from the menu that appears. Scroll down and look for Account or Password — the exact wording varies slightly between iOS and Android. Tap it, then select Change Password. Enter your current password, then type your new password twice, and tap Save or Confirm.
The mobile app method works just as well as the web browser, but some people find it slower because the app sometimes takes longer to load the settings page. If you run into a loading issue, try closing the app completely and reopening it, or switch to the web browser method instead.
What Happens After You Change Your Password
Once your password is changed, Spotify logs you out of the app on all your devices except the one you used to make the change. This is a security feature — it prevents someone else from staying logged in if they had access to your account. You will see a message asking you to log back in on each device.
Go to each device where you use Spotify, open the app, and tap Log In. Enter your email address and your new password. This usually takes less than a minute per device. If you have Spotify on a computer, phone, tablet, or smart speaker, you will need to log back in on each one.
If you use Spotify Family or have shared your login with others, they will also be logged out and will need the new password to log back in. This is intentional — changing your password is the way to remove someone's access if you no longer want them to use your account.
If You Forget Your Current Password
If you cannot remember your current password, you cannot change it directly through the password change form because Spotify requires you to enter the old one first. Instead, go to the Spotify login page at www.spotify.com/login and look for the link that says Forgot your password? Click it.
Spotify will ask for the email address associated with your account. Enter it and click Send Reset Link. Check your email inbox — Spotify sends a password reset link that is valid for a few hours. Click the link in the email, and you will be taken to a page where you can create a new password without needing the old one.
After you reset your password through email, you will be logged out of all devices, just as if you had changed it normally. Log back in on each device with your new password. If you do not see the reset email in your inbox, check your spam or junk folder — sometimes email filters catch it by mistake.
Keeping Your New Password find
A strong password is one that is hard for someone else to guess. Avoid using your name, birth date, or common words. Instead, mix uppercase and lowercase letters with numbers and symbols — for example, BlueSky#2024Melody is stronger than spotify123. The longer your password, the harder it is to crack.
Do not reuse a password you have used for other accounts. If someone gets your password for one service, they might try it on your Spotify account and other sites. If you have trouble remembering multiple passwords, consider using a password manager — these are apps or browser extensions that store and fill in passwords for you securely.
Change your Spotify password if you think someone else knows it, if you have used the same password on multiple sites and one of those sites was hacked, or if you shared your login with someone you no longer trust. You do not need to change it regularly just for the sake of it — changing it only when there is a reason is actually a better security practice than forcing yourself to remember a new password every month.
Troubleshooting Common Password Change Problems
The password change page will not load: Try clearing your browser cache and cookies, then log in again. If you are on the mobile app, close it completely and reopen it. If the problem persists, try the web browser method instead of the app, or vice versa.
Spotify says your new password is too weak: Your password must be at least 8 characters long and include a mix of character types. If Spotify rejects it, add more numbers or symbols, or make it longer. A password like MyDog#Barks88 usually works.
You are still logged in on a device after changing your password: Close the Spotify app completely — do not just minimize it. On most phones, swipe up from the bottom of the screen or swipe the app away from the recent apps list. Then reopen the app and you should see the login screen. If you are on a computer, close the browser window entirely and reopen it.
You changed your password but cannot log back in: Double-check that you are typing it correctly — passwords are case-sensitive, so MyPassword is different from mypassword. If you are still stuck, use the "Forgot your password?" link to reset it again through your email.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my Spotify password without logging out of other devices?
No. Spotify automatically logs you out of all devices except the one you used to change the password. This is a security feature that cannot be turned off. You will need to log back in on each device with your new password.
What if I share my Spotify account with family members?
If you change your password, everyone who shares the account will be logged out and will need the new password to log back in. If you want to remove one person's access without changing the password for everyone, use Spotify's account sharing or Family Plan settings instead, which let you manage who can access the account.
How long does it take for the password change to take effect?
The password change is when ready on the device where you made it. On other devices, you will be logged out right away, but the new password will not be needed until you try to log back in. There is no waiting period.
Can I change my password on a smart speaker or car system?
No. You cannot change your password directly on a smart speaker, car system, or other connected device. Use the web browser or mobile app method instead. After you change it, you will need to log back in on those devices using the new password.
What should I do if I think someone else has access to my account?
Change your password when ready using the web browser method. After you change it, check your account settings to see if there are any unfamiliar devices logged in. You can also sign out of all sessions except the current one in your account settings, which forces anyone else to log back in with the new password.
