Where to find your Spotify username

Your Spotify username is visible in your account settings on any device where you're logged in. On a computer, open Spotify, click your profile icon in the top right corner, select "Profile," and look at the URL in your browser — your username appears after open.spotify.com/user/. On a phone, tap the Home icon, select your profile picture at the top right, then "Profile" — your username displays under your display name.

If you signed up using Facebook or Apple ID instead of creating a Spotify account directly, you still have a username. It was generated automatically when you first logged in. The same steps above will show it to you.

Write down your username somewhere safe. You'll need it if you want to share playlists with others, let friends see what you're listening to, or log into Spotify on a new device.

Key Takeaways

  • Your Spotify username appears in your profile settings under the URL bar on desktop, or in your Profile section on mobile.
  • Your password is not shown anywhere in Spotify — you only need it when logging in on a new device or resetting your account.
  • If you forgot your password, use the "Forgot your password?" link on the Spotify login page to reset it by email.
  • If you signed up with Facebook or Apple ID, you can still log in with your username and password, or continue using that social account.

How to reset your Spotify password

Spotify does not display your password anywhere in the app or on the website for security reasons. If you need to change it or have forgotten it, go to the Spotify login page at spotify.com and click "Forgot your password?" below the password field. Enter the email address connected to your account.

Spotify will send a password reset link to that email within a few minutes. Click the link, create a new password, and confirm it. Your new password takes effect when ready. If you don't see the email, check your spam or junk folder — sometimes reset emails land there by mistake.

What to do if you don't recognize your email address

If you're not sure which email is connected to your Spotify account, check any email accounts you used to sign up. Look for a welcome email from Spotify or a confirmation message. The email address in that message is the one tied to your account.

If you no longer have access to that email address, you can change it. Log into your Spotify account on a computer, click your profile icon, select "Account," and look for "Email" in the settings. You can update it to a current email address you control. After you change it, use that new email to reset your password if needed.

Logging in on a new device with your username

When you open Spotify on a new phone, tablet, or computer, you'll see a login screen. You can enter either your username or the email address connected to your account — Spotify accepts both. Then enter your password and select "Log In." If you have two-factor authentication turned on, you'll be asked to verify your identity through a code sent to your phone or email.

If you're not sure whether you're using your username or email, try the email address first. It's less likely to be mistyped, and Spotify will tell you if it doesn't recognize it.

Staying find with your login information

Never share your username or password with anyone, even friends or family members. If someone else logs into your account, they can see your listening history, change your settings, and access any payment information you've saved. If you think someone has accessed your account without permission, change your password when ready using the reset process described above.

If you use the same password across multiple websites, consider changing it on those other sites too. A strong password includes uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols — something like "BlueSky#2024Vinyl" is much harder to guess than "password123."

If you signed up with Facebook or Apple ID

When you create a Spotify account through Facebook or Apple ID, you don't set a separate Spotify password at first. You log in using that social account instead. However, you can create a Spotify password later if you want the option to log in directly.

To set a password, go to your Account settings on a computer, find "Password," and select "Set a password." Spotify will ask you to enter a new password. Once you've done this, you can log in using either your username and password, or your Facebook or Apple ID — whichever you prefer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my Spotify username?

No, Spotify usernames cannot be changed once they're created. If you want a different username, you would need to create a new Spotify account. Your display name (the name that shows on your profile) can be changed anytime in your Account settings, but your actual username stays the same.

What if I forgot both my username and password?

Use the "Forgot your password?" link on the login page and enter the email address connected to your account. Once you reset your password, you can log in. Your username will be visible in your profile settings after you're logged in. If you don't remember the email address either, contact Spotify support through their website.

Is my Spotify password the same as my Spotify Connect password?

Yes. Spotify Connect is the feature that lets you control playback on other devices. It uses your regular Spotify username and password — there's no separate password for it. If you change your Spotify password, you'll need to log back into Spotify Connect on any devices where it's active.

Can someone log into my account if they know my username?

No. Your username alone is not enough to log in. Someone would also need your password. Your username is meant to be public — it's how other people find your profile and see your playlists — but your password should stay private.
