You cannot see your current Spotify password, but you can reset it in minutes

Spotify does not show you your password anywhere — not in the app, not on the website, not in your account settings. This is intentional. If you need to sign in on a new device or have forgotten your password, you reset it instead of retrieving it. A reset sends you a link by email, and you create a new password from there.

The process takes about five minutes and works whether you signed up with an email address, a Facebook account, or an Apple ID. You do not need your old password to do this.

Key Takeaways

  • Spotify passwords cannot be viewed or recovered — you must reset your password through the login page.
  • Go to spotify.com/login, enter your email address, and click "Can't log in?" to start a password reset.
  • Check your email inbox (including spam and promotions folders) for a reset link from Spotify, which expires after one hour.
  • If you signed up with Facebook or Apple ID instead of an email, use that same method to log in rather than resetting a password.
  • After you reset your password, you will be signed out of all devices and must log back in with your new password.

How to reset your password on the Spotify website

Open a web browser and go to spotify.com/login. Enter the email address associated with your Spotify account in the "Email or username" field. Below the password box, click the link that says "Can't log in?"

Spotify will ask you to confirm you are human by solving a CAPTCHA (usually identifying images or checking a box). After you complete it, you will see a message saying "Check your email." Spotify sends a password reset link to the email address you entered. The link is valid for one hour.

Open your email and look for a message from Spotify with the subject line "Reset your Spotify password" or similar. Check your spam, junk, and promotions folders if you do not see it in your inbox within a few minutes. Click the link in the email.

You will be taken to a page where you can enter a new password. Spotify requires passwords to be at least 8 characters long. After you enter your new password and confirm it, click the button to save. You are now signed out of all your devices.

What to do if you do not receive the reset email

Wait a few minutes — the email can take up to five minutes to arrive. Check your spam, junk, promotions, and updates folders. Some email providers sort Spotify messages into these folders automatically.

If you still do not see the email, go back to spotify.com/login and try again. Make sure you are entering the exact email address you used when you created your Spotify account. If you are unsure which email address you used, try the ones you remember.

If the reset link expires before you use it (after one hour), return to the login page and click "Can't log in?" again. You can request as many reset links as you need.

If you signed up with Facebook or Apple ID instead of email

You do not have a Spotify password in the traditional sense. Instead, you log in using your Facebook account or Apple ID. Go to spotify.com/login and click the button that says "Log in with Facebook" or "Log in with Apple" depending on which one you used.

If you want to change the password for your Facebook or Apple account, you would do that through Facebook or Apple's own settings, not through Spotify. Spotify does not store or manage that password.

If you no longer have access to the Facebook or Apple account you used to sign up, you can contact Spotify Support through the help page at support.spotify.com. They can help you regain access to your Spotify account, though the process may take several days.

What happens after you reset your password

You are automatically signed out of Spotify on all devices — your phone, tablet, computer, smart speakers, and any other place where you were logged in. This is a security measure. You will need to sign back in on each device using your new password.

If you have a Spotify Family plan, resetting your password only affects your own account. Other family members stay logged in on their devices and keep their own passwords.

Keeping your new password find

Use a password that is unique to Spotify — do not reuse a password from another account. If that other account is ever breached, someone could use the same password to access your Spotify account.

A strong password is at least 12 characters long and includes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Spotify requires a minimum of 8 characters, but longer is better. Consider using a password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or Dashlane to generate and store a strong password so you do not have to remember it.

If you share a device with other people, sign out of Spotify when you are done using it. This prevents someone else from accessing your account, your saved music, and your listening history.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see my password if I am already logged in?

No. Spotify does not display passwords anywhere, even if you are signed in. If you need to know your password for another device, you must reset it through the login page.

What if I do not remember the email address I used to sign up?

Try the email addresses you use most often. If you have a Spotify Family plan, the account owner can check the family settings to see which email is registered. If you still cannot find it, contact Spotify Support at support.spotify.com and provide information about your account, such as your username or the payment method on file.

Will resetting my password delete my playlists or saved songs?

No. Resetting your password does not affect your music, playlists, or any other account data. Everything stays exactly as it was.

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 account that was breached, or if you have not changed it in over a year. You do not need to change it more frequently than that unless you have a specific reason.

Can I set a password if I use Facebook or Apple ID to log in?

Not directly through Spotify. If you want a separate Spotify password, you would need to create a new Spotify account using an email address instead. Your existing account remains tied to your Facebook or Apple ID.
