The fastest way to reset your Spotify password
Go to spotify.com/login and click "Can't log in?" below the password field. Enter the email address connected to your account. Spotify sends a password reset link to that email — check your inbox and spam folder. Click the link, create a new password, and you're back in.
The whole process takes about two minutes if you have access to your email. If you don't remember which email you used, or if you can't access that email anymore, the steps change — but there's still a way through.
Key Takeaways
- The "Can't log in?" link on spotify.com/login is the official reset path and works on any device.
- Spotify sends the reset email from noreply@spotify.com, so check your spam folder if you don't see it in your inbox.
- Your new password must be at least 8 characters long and can include letters, numbers, and symbols.
- If you can't access your registered email, you'll need to contact Spotify Support through the help page to verify your identity another way.
Step-by-step password reset from a web browser
Open any web browser and go to spotify.com/login. You'll see the standard login screen with an email field, a password field, and a "Log In" button. Below the password field is a "Can't log in?" link — click that.
A new page appears asking for the email address associated with your account. Type it in exactly as you registered it. Click the button to request the reset email. Spotify sends a message from noreply@spotify.com with a link that stays valid for 24 hours.
Check your inbox for the email. If it's not there after a few minutes, check your spam or promotions folder — some email providers filter Spotify's messages. Open the email and click the reset link. You'll be taken to a page where you create a new password. Make it at least 8 characters, using a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters if possible, plus a number or symbol. Click "Reset Password" and you're done.
Resetting your password on the Spotify app
You can also start the reset from the Spotify app on your phone or computer. Open the app and look for a "Log In" or "Can't log in?" option on the login screen. The exact wording depends on which app version you have, but the button is always visible before you enter a password.
Tap or click it, enter your email, and request the reset link. The rest is the same — check your email, click the link, and create a new password. Once you've reset it, go back to the app and log in with your new password.
What to do if you don't receive the reset email
Wait at least five minutes before assuming the email didn't arrive. Spotify's system sometimes takes a moment to send. Check your spam, promotions, and other filtered folders — email providers often sort password reset messages there automatically.
If you still don't see it after checking everywhere, go back to spotify.com/login and click "Can't log in?" again. Request a new reset link. You can request as many as you need. If you've requested multiple links and still haven't received any email from noreply@spotify.com, your email address may not be registered with Spotify, or there may be a technical issue with your email account's ability to receive messages.
If you can't access the email address on your account
If the email address registered to your Spotify account is one you no longer have access to — because you closed it, lost the password, or no longer use it — you'll need to contact Spotify Support directly. Go to support.spotify.com and look for the "Contact Us" or "Get Help" option.
Spotify Support can verify your identity using other information, such as your account creation date, payment method, or listening history. They can then either reset your password or help you change the registered email address to one you can access. This process usually takes a few business days.
Creating a strong new password
Spotify requires passwords to be at least 8 characters long. Beyond that minimum, there's no official rule about what characters you can use, but the strongest passwords mix uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols like ! @ # $ % or &.
Avoid using the same password you use for other accounts, especially email or banking. If someone gets your Spotify password, they can change your email address and lock you out — and if that password is the same one you use elsewhere, they could access those accounts too. A password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or the password manager built into your phone or browser can generate and store unique passwords for each service.
What happens after you reset your password
Once you've created a new password, you're logged out of all devices. You'll need to log back in on any phone, computer, tablet, or speaker where you use Spotify. Open the app or go to spotify.com, enter your email and new password, and you're back in.
If you see a device you don't recognize in your account settings after resetting, you can log it out remotely. Go to your account page at spotify.com/account, scroll to "Your devices," and click "Sign out" next to any device you don't use or don't recognize.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the password reset link stay valid?
The reset link in the email Spotify sends you is valid for 24 hours. If you don't click it within that time, you'll need to request a new one by going back to spotify.com/login and clicking "Can't log in?" again.
Can I reset my password on a device where I'm already logged in?
Yes. Go to your account settings (usually found in the app menu or at spotify.com/account), look for "Password" or "Security," and select "Change Password." You'll be asked to enter your current password, then create a new one. This method doesn't log you out of other devices.
What if I forgot my password and the email address too?
Contact Spotify Support at support.spotify.com. They can verify your identity using payment information, account creation date, or other details tied to your account, then help you regain access. This takes longer than a self-service reset but is the only option if you've lost both pieces of information.
Will resetting my password delete my playlists or listening history?
No. Resetting your password only changes how you log in. Your playlists, saved songs, followers, and all other account data stay exactly as they were. You'll see everything the moment you log back in with your new password.
Can someone reset my password without my permission?
Only if they have access to the email address registered to your account. That's why it's important to keep your email account find and use a unique, strong password for email itself. If you think someone has accessed your account, change your password when ready and check your registered email address in account settings to make sure it hasn't been changed.
