Where to find your username on Spotify

Your Spotify username is in your account settings, and you can reach it in under a minute from any device. On the web, go to spotify.com, sign in, click your profile icon in the top right, select "Account", and look for "Username" near the top of the page. On the Spotify app for phone or desktop, tap or click your profile icon, select "Account", and scroll to find your username listed there.

Your username is different from your display name. The display name is what your friends see next to your playlists and what appears on your profile — you can change it anytime. Your username is the permanent handle Spotify assigned when you created your account, and it's what you use to log in. If you signed up with Facebook or Apple ID instead of an email address, you still have a username; Spotify created one automatically.

Key Takeaways

  • Your username appears in your Account settings under "Username" on both the web and mobile app.
  • Your username is different from your display name and is what you use to log in to Spotify.
  • If you created your account with Facebook or Apple ID, Spotify assigned you a username automatically.
  • You cannot change your username once it's created, but you can change your display name at any time.
  • Your username is visible in the URL of your public profile, after spotify.com/user/.

Finding your username on the Spotify website

Sign in to spotify.com with your email address or username and password. Once you're logged in, look for your profile icon — a small circle or image — in the top right corner of the page. Click it to open a dropdown menu.

From the dropdown, select "Account" (not "Profile"). This takes you to your account settings page. Scroll down slightly and you'll see "Username" listed with your actual username next to it. Copy it from there if you need to share it or use it elsewhere.

Finding your username on the Spotify app

Open Spotify on your phone or computer and tap or click your profile icon at the bottom right of the screen (on mobile) or top right (on desktop). A menu appears with several options.

Select "Account" from this menu. On mobile, you may need to scroll down to see the username field. On desktop, it appears near the top of the Account page. Your username is displayed there in full, and you can copy it directly from the app.

Your username in your profile URL

Another way to find your username is to look at your public profile link. If you go to your profile on Spotify and look at the URL in the address bar, it reads something like spotify.com/user/yourspotifyusername. Everything after "/user/" is your username.

You can also find this link by clicking your profile icon and selecting "Profile" (different from Account). At the top of your profile page, you'll see a "Share" button or option. When you click it, Spotify shows you the link to your profile, which includes your username.

What to do if you can't find your username

If you're logged into Spotify but don't see a username field in your Account settings, you may have a very old account or one created through a third-party service. Try logging out and logging back in, or refresh the page. Sometimes the page needs to reload to display all fields.

If you still don't see it, check whether you're looking in the right place. Make sure you're in "Account" settings, not "Profile" settings. Account settings contain your username; Profile settings contain your display name. If you're on mobile and the page looks cut off, try rotating your phone to landscape mode or switching to the desktop website.

Why you might need your username

Your Spotify username is useful when you want to share your profile with someone who doesn't have you as a friend yet, or when you're setting up integrations with other apps. Some music apps and websites ask for your Spotify username to connect to your account. You also need it if you're logging into Spotify on a new device and prefer to use your username instead of your email address.

Keep in mind that your username is public — anyone can see it if they visit your profile. It's not sensitive information like a password, so there's no security risk in sharing it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my Spotify username?

No, your username is permanent and cannot be changed once your account is created. You can change your display name (what friends see on your profile) as many times as you want, but the username stays the same. If you need a different username, you would have to create a new Spotify account.

Is my username the same as my email address?

Not necessarily. If you signed up with an email address, Spotify may have created a separate username for you, or you may have chosen one during signup. Your email and username are two different ways to log in. Check your Account settings to see which one you have.

What if I signed up with Facebook or Apple ID?

Spotify still created a username for you automatically, even though you didn't choose one during signup. You can find it in your Account settings the same way. You can use this username to log in if you ever want to switch away from Facebook or Apple ID login.

Where do I see other people's usernames?

When you visit someone else's Spotify profile, their username appears in the URL (spotify.com/user/theirusername) and sometimes below their display name on their profile page. You can use their username to search for them or share their profile with others.
