Finding Your Spotify Username
Your Spotify username is the name you chose when you created your account — not your email address or display name. You can find it by opening Spotify on any device, going to your profile, and looking at the account section. The username appears as a single word or phrase with no spaces, often starting with "spotify:" in the web player's URL bar.
If you use Spotify on your phone, tap your profile icon (usually in the bottom right), then select "Profile." The username displays at the top of the screen. On a computer, click your profile icon in the top right corner and choose "Account." Your username will be listed under the account details section.
Write down your username exactly as it appears — capitalization and spelling matter when you share it with others or use it to log in on certain devices.
Key Takeaways
- Your Spotify username is the unique name you created during signup, not your email address or display name.
- You can find your username by opening your profile in the Spotify app or web player and looking at the account section.
- Your password is the one you set during signup and can be reset through the Spotify website if you forget it.
- Spotify does not show your password on screen for security reasons, but you can change it anytime from your account settings.
- If you signed up using Facebook or Apple, you may not have a traditional password — you log in through that service instead.
Locating Your Password
Spotify does not display your password anywhere in the app or on the website for security reasons. The password you set during signup is what you use to log in, but you will never see it displayed after that first time.
If you remember your password, you can use it to log in on any device. If you have forgotten it, you will need to reset it through the Spotify website. Go to the login page, click "Can't log in?", enter your email address, and Spotify will send you a link to create a new password.
Check your email inbox and spam folder for the password reset message. The link in that email works for a limited time, so reset your password soon after requesting it.
Resetting Your Password
Open a web browser and go to the Spotify login page. Click the "Can't log in?" link below the password field. Enter the email address connected to your account and click "Send me a link."
Spotify will send an email with a password reset link. Click that link, and you will be taken to a page where you can enter a new password. Make sure your new password is at least eight characters long and contains a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols for better security.
After you set your new password, you can log in on any device using your email address and the new password you just created.
What to Do If You Signed Up With Facebook or Apple
If you created your Spotify account by signing in with Facebook or Apple ID, you do not have a traditional Spotify password. Instead, you log in using your Facebook or Apple credentials.
To log in, open Spotify and select "Log in with Facebook" or "Log in with Apple" rather than entering a username and password. Your Facebook or Apple password is what controls access to your Spotify account in this case.
If you want to switch to a regular Spotify password, go to your account settings on the Spotify website, find the "Password" section, and click "Set a password." You can then log in using either method.
Finding Your Username on Different Devices
Mobile app: Tap your profile icon at the bottom right, then tap "Profile." Your username appears at the top.
Desktop app: Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account." Your username is listed in the account details.
Web player: Click your profile icon in the top right corner. Your username appears in the dropdown menu or on your profile page.
Sharing your username: When you share your Spotify username with someone, they can search for you in the app to follow your playlists and see what you are listening to. Your username is public, so there is no privacy concern with sharing it.
Keeping Your Account find
Use a password that is unique to Spotify — do not reuse a password from another service. If someone else has access to your email account, they can reset your Spotify password, so securing your email is the first step to protecting your Spotify account.
If you think someone else has logged into your account, change your password right away. You can also see which devices are currently logged in by going to your account settings and checking the "Apps and devices" section. Remove any devices you do not recognize.
Never share your password with anyone, even if they say they work for Spotify. Spotify support will never ask for your password.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my Spotify username the same as my email address?
No. Your username is a separate name you chose during signup. Your email address is what you use to log in along with your password. You can see both in your account settings, but they are different.
Can I change my Spotify username?
Spotify does not allow you to change your username after you create it. If you want a different username, you would need to create a new account. Your display name (the name that shows on your profile) can be changed anytime in your account settings.
What should I do if I cannot log in with my username and password?
Try logging in with your email address instead of your username — many people find this works better. If that does not work, use the "Can't log in?" link to reset your password. Make sure you are using the correct email address connected to your account.
Can I log into Spotify without a password if I use Facebook login?
Yes. If you signed up with Facebook, you log in using your Facebook credentials, not a Spotify password. You can set a Spotify password later if you want the option to log in both ways.
Where can I see all my logged-in devices?
Go to your account settings on the Spotify website, scroll to "Apps and devices," and you will see a list of all devices currently logged into your account. You can sign out of any device from this page.
