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. Passwords are stored encrypted, which means even Spotify's own staff cannot read them back to you. If you need to get into your account, you have two options: reset your password (which takes about five minutes) or use a saved login on a device where you are already signed in.

The reset route works whether you forgot your password, think someone else knows it, or just want a new one for security reasons. You do not need to remember the old one.

Key Takeaways

  • Spotify stores passwords encrypted and cannot show them to you, even if you contact support.
  • A password reset takes five minutes and works from any device, even if you do not remember your current password.
  • If you are already signed in on a phone or computer, you can stay signed in without knowing your password.
  • Resetting your password will sign you out of all devices, so plan to sign back in on the ones you use regularly.
  • If you use Facebook or Google to sign into Spotify, you reset through that service instead, not through Spotify.

How to reset your password on the Spotify website

Go to www.spotify.com/login and click "Can't log in?" below the password field. Enter the email address connected to your Spotify account. Spotify will send a password reset link to that email — check your inbox and also your spam folder, since reset emails sometimes land there.

Click the link in the email. You will land on a page where you create a new password. Type it twice to confirm, then click the button to save it. You are now signed out everywhere. The next time you open Spotify on any device, you will need to sign in with your new password.

If you do not receive the reset email within a few minutes, check that you entered the correct email address. If the address is right but no email arrives, your account may be linked to a different email than you remember. Try other email addresses you have used with Spotify in the past.

How to reset your password on the Spotify app

Open Spotify and tap "Log in" if you are not signed in. On the login screen, tap "Can't log in?" — the exact location varies slightly between iPhone and Android, but the link is always near the password field. Enter your email address and tap the button to request a reset link.

Spotify sends the reset email to your inbox. Open that email on the same phone or a different device, click the link, and create your new password. You will be signed out of the app on all devices.

What happens when you reset your password

Resetting your password signs you out of Spotify everywhere — on your phone, computer, tablet, car, smart speaker, and any other device. This is a security feature. When you sign back in, use your new password.

You do not lose your playlists, saved songs, or listening history. All of that stays with your account. You also keep your subscription status — if you pay for Premium, you stay Premium after a reset.

If you signed up with Facebook or Google

If you created your Spotify account by clicking "Sign up with Facebook" or "Sign up with Google," you do not have a Spotify password at all. You sign in through that service instead.

To reset access, go to your Facebook or Google account settings and change the password there. The next time you open Spotify and click "Sign in with Facebook" or "Sign in with Google," use your new password from that service. Spotify itself has no password to reset.

If you want to create a separate Spotify password so you can sign in without Facebook or Google, contact Spotify support through the app or website. They can help you convert your account.

If you do not have access to your email

If you cannot access the email address linked to your Spotify account, you cannot reset your password through the normal route. Contact Spotify support through the app (if you are signed in) or through support.spotify.com. You will need to verify that you own the account — Spotify may ask for payment information, the phone number on file, or other details.

Support can take several days to respond. If you are locked out of a Premium account, this is worth the wait. If you have a free account and just want to start fresh, creating a new account with a different email is faster.

Staying signed in without remembering your password

If you are already signed into Spotify on your phone, tablet, or computer, you can stay signed in indefinitely without ever typing your password again. The app keeps you logged in until you manually sign out.

This is convenient, but it also means anyone with physical access to that device can use your account. If you share a device with family or roommates, consider signing out when you are done, or use Spotify's Family plan, which lets each person have their own account and preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Spotify tell me what my password is?

No. Spotify stores passwords in encrypted form, which means they cannot be read back, even by Spotify employees. If you need access to your account, you must reset your password instead.

Will resetting my password delete my playlists or listening history?

No. Your playlists, saved songs, followers, and all other account data stay exactly as they are. A password reset only changes how you sign in.

What if I reset my password but still cannot sign in?

Make sure you are using the new password you just created, not the old one. If you still cannot sign in, try signing out completely from the app, closing it, and signing back in. If that does not work, contact Spotify support — there may be a temporary issue with your account.

Do I have to reset my password if I think someone else knows it?

Yes. If you suspect someone has your password, reset it when ready. This signs them out of your account everywhere. You can also check which devices are signed in by going to your account settings and looking for "Your devices" or "Active devices."

Can I see my password in my browser's saved passwords?

If you saved your Spotify password in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge, you can view it through that browser's password manager. On most browsers, go to Settings, find Passwords or Saved Passwords, search for Spotify, and click the eye icon. This shows the password you saved, but only if you saved it — it does not retrieve your actual Spotify password from Spotify's servers.
