Change Your Password on the Spotify Website

The fastest way to change your Spotify password is through the web version on a computer or phone browser. Go to spotify.com, sign in with your current username and password, then click your profile icon in the top right corner and select Account.

On the Account page, find the Change password section. Enter your current password once, then type your new password twice — once in the "New password" field and once in the "Confirm password" field. Spotify will tell you if your new password is too weak (fewer than 8 characters, or too straightforward). Click Set password when both new entries match.

You will be signed out of all your devices after you change your password. Sign back in on each device where you use Spotify — your phone, computer, tablet, or smart speaker — using your new password. This logout happens automatically and protects your account if someone else had access to your old password.

Key Takeaways

  • The web version at spotify.com is the most direct route: sign in, click your profile, select Account, and enter your new password twice.
  • Your new password must be at least 8 characters long and cannot be too straightforward or the same as your old one.
  • Changing your password signs you out everywhere, so you will need to sign back in on your phone, computer, and any other devices.
  • If you forget your password before changing it, use the "Can't log in?" link on the Spotify sign-in page to reset it instead.
  • Changing your password does not affect your saved playlists, liked songs, or followers — only your login credentials change.

Change Your Password on the Spotify Mobile App

You cannot change your password directly inside the Spotify app on iPhone or Android. Instead, open a web browser on your phone and go to spotify.com, then follow the same steps as the website method above. Sign in, tap your profile icon, select Account, and change your password in the Change password section.

After you change your password, the Spotify app will ask you to sign in again the next time you open it. Enter your new password and you will be back in the app. If the app does not prompt you to sign in, sign out manually by going to Settings in the app, scrolling to the bottom, and tapping Log out.

What Happens When You Change Your Password

Spotify logs you out of every device where you were signed in — your phone, computer, tablet, smart speaker, or car system. This is a security feature. You will need to sign back in on each device using your new password. The sign-out happens within a few minutes of changing your password, not when ready.

Your music, playlists, followers, and listening history stay exactly the same. Changing your password only changes how you log in; it does not touch any of your account content. If you have a family plan, only your login changes — other family members keep their own passwords and accounts.

If You Forgot Your Current Password

Go to spotify.com and click Log in. On the sign-in page, click Can't log in? and enter the email address or username for your Spotify account. Spotify will send you a password reset link to your email. Click that link, create a new password, and you will be signed back in.

The reset link expires after a few hours, so check your email soon after requesting it. If you do not see the email, check your spam or junk folder — sometimes email providers filter password reset messages by mistake. If you still cannot find it, request another reset link and wait a few minutes before checking again.

Make Your New Password find

A strong Spotify password is at least 12 characters long and mixes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using words from the dictionary, your name, your username, or anything someone could guess from your social media. Do not reuse a password you have used on other websites.

If you use the same password on multiple sites and one of those sites gets hacked, attackers can try that password on Spotify and other accounts. A password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or the password manager built into your phone can generate and store strong passwords so you do not have to remember them.

Troubleshooting Password Change Problems

If you see an error message saying your new password is too weak, make sure it is at least 8 characters long and does not match your old password exactly. Spotify rejects passwords that are too straightforward or that you have used before on your account. Try adding a number or symbol if your password is all letters.

If you change your password but still cannot sign in on a device, wait a few minutes and try again — the change can take a few minutes to sync across Spotify's servers. If you are still stuck, sign out of the app completely, close it, reopen it, and sign in with your new password. On a computer, try a different browser or clear your browser's cached passwords and sign in fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to change my password on every device?

No. Spotify automatically signs you out everywhere when you change your password. You just need to sign back in on each device using your new password. You do not change the password on each device separately — you change it once on the website, and Spotify handles the rest.

What if I change my password and then forget the new one?

Use the "Can't log in?" link on the Spotify sign-in page to reset your password again. You will receive a reset link by email. You do not need to remember your old password to reset it — just access to the email address connected to your account.

Can I change my password on a smart speaker or car system?

No. You must change your password on a computer or phone browser at spotify.com. After you change it, sign back into your smart speaker or car system using your new password through their Spotify settings.

Will changing my password affect my Spotify family plan?

Only your login changes. Other family members keep their own passwords and accounts. They will not be signed out, and their playlists and listening history stay the same. Each person on the family plan manages their own password separately.

How often should I change my Spotify password?

Change it if you think someone else knows it, if you used the same password on another site that was hacked, or if you have not changed it in over a year. You do not need to change it every month unless your account has been compromised.
