The fastest way to change your Spotify password
Open Spotify on your phone or computer and go to your account settings. On the web, click your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account". On the mobile app, tap the gear icon at the top right. Look for "Change password" or "Password" in the settings menu, enter your current password, type your new password twice, and click save. The whole process takes about two minutes.
If you cannot remember your current password, you will need to use the "Forgot password?" link on the Spotify login page instead — that route sends a reset link to your email address. You do not need to be logged in to use it.
Key Takeaways
- You can change your password from the web version at account.spotify.com or from the mobile app settings menu without logging out.
- Spotify will ask for your current password before letting you set a new one, so you must remember it to change it this way.
- If you forget your password, use the "Forgot password?" link on the login screen to reset it by email instead.
- Your new password should be at least 8 characters long and different from passwords you use on other websites.
- After you change your password, you may be logged out of Spotify on some devices and will need to sign in again with the new password.
Changing your password on the web
Go to account.spotify.com in any web browser and sign in if you are not already logged in. Click your profile name or icon in the top right corner, then select "Account" from the dropdown menu.
Scroll down until you see the "Password" section. Click "Change password". You will see three fields: one for your current password, one for your new password, and one to confirm the new password. Type your current password in the first field, then type your new password in both of the remaining fields. Make sure both new password entries match exactly. Click the "Change password" button at the bottom to save your change.
Changing your password on the mobile app
Open Spotify on your phone or tablet. Tap the gear icon (settings) in the top right corner of the home screen. Scroll down and tap "Account" or "Your account".
Look for "Password" in the list of options and tap it. Enter your current password in the first field, then enter your new password in the second field and confirm it in the third field. Tap "Save" or "Change password" to complete the change. On some phones, you may see a confirmation message that your password has been updated.
What to do if you forgot your current password
You cannot change your password from within Spotify if you do not remember the current one. Instead, go to the Spotify login page (spotify.com or open the app) and look for "Forgot password?" or "Can't log in?" below the password field. Click that link.
Enter the email address associated with your Spotify account. Spotify will send a password reset link to that email. Open your email, find the message from Spotify (check your spam folder if you do not see it), and click the reset link. You will be taken to a page where you can create a new password. Enter your new password twice and click save. You can then log back into Spotify with your new password.
Choosing a strong password
A strong password is harder for someone else to guess or crack. Use at least 8 characters and mix uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols like ! @ # $ % or &. Avoid using your name, birthday, or common words that appear in the dictionary.
Do not reuse a password you have used on other websites or accounts. If someone gains access to one of your accounts, they might try the same password on your other accounts, including Spotify. A unique password for Spotify means your music account stays separate from your email, banking, or social media accounts.
What happens after you change your password
Spotify may log you out on some of your devices after you change your password. This is a security feature. You will need to sign in again on those devices using your new password. On your phone, tablet, and computer, open Spotify, enter your email address and new password, and tap or click "Log in".
If you use Spotify on a smart speaker, gaming console, or car system, you may need to remove your account and add it again with the new password. Check the device's settings for account or Spotify options. The exact steps vary by device, but most will ask you to sign out and then sign in again.
Protecting your account after changing your password
Once you have set a new password, keep it private. Do not share it with anyone, even friends or family members. If someone else needs to use your Spotify account, create a separate account for them instead of giving them your password.
If you think someone else has accessed your account without permission, change your password right away. Look at your account activity to see if there are playlists, saved songs, or listening history you do not recognize. You can also check which devices are currently logged in to your account from the account settings page and remove any devices you do not use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my password without knowing my current password?
No. If you do not remember your current password, use the "Forgot password?" link on the login page to reset it by email. Once you have reset it, you can then change it again if you want a different password.
Will changing my password log me out everywhere?
Spotify may log you out on some devices, but not always all of them at once. You will need to sign in again on any device where you are logged out. Check each of your phones, tablets, computers, and smart speakers to see if you need to log in again.
What if I do not receive the password reset email?
Check your spam or junk folder first — the email may have been filtered there by mistake. If it is not there, make sure you entered the correct email address. You can try requesting the reset link again. If you still do not receive it, the email address may not be associated with a Spotify account.
Can I use the same password I used before?
Technically yes, but it defeats the purpose of changing your password. If you changed it because you thought someone else knew it, using the same password again leaves your account at risk. Choose a new password that is different from any you have used before.
Do I need to change my password regularly?
You do not need to change it on a schedule, but you should change it if you think someone else knows it, if you used it on a website that was hacked, or if you shared it with someone who no longer should have access. Change it when ready if you notice unfamiliar activity on your account.
