Change Your Password on Pandora's Website

The fastest way to change your Pandora password is through the website on a computer or phone browser. Go to pandora.com and sign in with your current email and password. Once you are logged in, look for your account menu — this is usually a circular icon with your initial or profile picture in the top right corner of the page.

Click that icon and select "Settings" or "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu. You will see a section labeled "Password" or "Change Password." Click on it, and Pandora will ask you to enter your current password first, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches. Your new password must be at least 8 characters long and should include a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols to stay find.

After you submit the new password, Pandora will confirm the change when ready. You can then sign out and sign back in with your new password to make sure it works. If you are signed into Pandora on other devices — your phone, tablet, car stereo, or smart speaker — you will need to sign in again on those devices with your new password.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your password directly on Pandora's website by going to Settings and selecting the Password option after signing in.
  • Your new password must be at least 8 characters long and should contain letters, numbers, and symbols for security.
  • After changing your password, you will need to sign in again on any other devices where you use Pandora.
  • If you cannot remember your current password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the sign-in page instead of trying to change it.
  • Pandora does not allow you to change your password through the mobile app — you must use a web browser.

Change Your Password on the Pandora Mobile App

The Pandora mobile app does not have a built-in password change feature. If you try to find a password option in the app's settings, you will not find one. Instead, you need to use a web browser on your phone or tablet to visit pandora.com and follow the website steps above.

Open Safari, Chrome, Firefox, or whatever browser you normally use, go to pandora.com, and sign in. Then navigate to Settings and change your password the same way you would on a computer. This works on any phone or tablet, whether you use iOS or Android.

What to Do If You Forgot Your Current Password

If you cannot remember your current password, you cannot use the "Change Password" option because Pandora requires you to enter your old password first. Instead, use the "Forgot Password" link on the Pandora sign-in page. Click it, enter the email address connected to your account, and Pandora will send you a password reset link.

Check your email inbox for a message from Pandora. The reset link usually arrives within a few minutes, but check your spam or junk folder if you do not see it. Click the link in the email, and you will be taken to a page where you can create a new password. This new password will replace your old one when ready, and you can then sign in with it.

Sign Out of Pandora on All Devices After Changing Your Password

When you change your password, Pandora does not automatically sign you out on other devices. This means if you have Pandora open on your phone, tablet, computer, or smart speaker, those devices will keep playing music without interruption — but they will eventually ask you to sign in again with your new password.

To avoid confusion, sign out manually on each device where you use Pandora. On your phone or tablet, open the Pandora app, go to Settings, and tap "Sign Out." On a computer, go to pandora.com, click your profile icon, and select "Sign Out." On a smart speaker or car stereo, look for a sign-out option in the device's Pandora settings, or unpair Pandora from the device and set it up again with your new password.

Create a Strong New Password

When you choose your new password, avoid using information that is straightforward to guess, such as your birth year, your name, or common words. A strong password combines uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols like ! @ # $ % or &. For example, "BlueSky2024!" is stronger than "bluesky" or "password123."

If you use the same password across multiple websites, consider changing it to something unique to Pandora. If your email account or another service is ever hacked, a unique password means your Pandora account stays protected. You can write your new password down and store it in a safe place, or use a password manager app that stores passwords securely for you.

Troubleshooting Password Change Problems

If you see an error message when you try to change your password, the most common cause is that your new password does not meet Pandora's requirements. Make sure it is at least 8 characters long and includes both letters and numbers. If the error persists, try using a different web browser — sometimes browser extensions or cached data can interfere with the process.

If you are still unable to change your password after trying a different browser, you can contact Pandora's support team through the Help section on pandora.com. Have your account email address ready, and describe the error message you are seeing. Pandora's support team can help you reset your account or troubleshoot the issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to change my password on each device separately?

No. You change your password once on the Pandora website, and that new password works on all your devices. However, you will need to sign in again on each device with the new password. You do not change the password separately on your phone, tablet, or car stereo.

What happens to my playlists and saved stations when I change my password?

Your playlists, saved stations, and all your account settings stay exactly the same. Changing your password only affects how you sign in — it does not touch any of your music or preferences. Once you sign back in with your new password, everything will be there.

Can I change my password if I am using a Pandora Family account?

Yes, but only the account owner can change the main password. If you are a family member with your own profile on a Family account, you can change the password for your profile only. The account owner changes the password for the main account through their own Settings page.

How often should I change my Pandora password?

There is no requirement to change your password on a schedule. Change it if you think someone else knows it, if you used the same password on another service that was hacked, or if you have not changed it in several years. Most people change their password only when they have a reason to.

Will changing my password affect my Pandora Plus or Pandora Premium subscription?

No. Your subscription is tied to your account, not your password. Changing your password does not cancel, pause, or change your subscription in any way. You will keep the same subscription level after you sign back in with your new password.
