Change your Spotify password through your account settings on any web browser or phone

The fastest way to change your Spotify password is to log into your account on Spotify.com, go to your account settings, and update it there. You can also change it through the Spotify app on your phone or computer, though the web method is more straightforward. The process takes about two minutes and works the same way whether you use a free or paid account.

You'll need to know your current password to make the change. If you've forgotten it, you can reset it instead using your email address — Spotify will send you a link to create a new one without needing the old password.

Key Takeaways

  • Go to Spotify.com, click your profile icon in the top right, select "Account", then find "Change password" under the Security section.
  • You must enter your current password before Spotify will let you set a new one.
  • If you don't remember your current password, use the "Forgot your password?" link on the Spotify login page instead of trying to change it.
  • After you change your password, you'll be logged out of all devices and will need to sign back in with your new password.
  • A strong password includes uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols — avoid using your username or birthdate.

Change your password on the Spotify website

Open a web browser and go to Spotify.com. Click the profile icon (your name or a circle with your initials) in the top right corner of the page. A dropdown menu will appear with several options.

Select "Account" from that menu. You'll be taken to your account overview page. Scroll down until you see a section labeled "Security" or "Password". Click the button that says "Change password". Spotify will ask you to enter your current password first, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches. Click "Save" or "Change password" to finish.

Change your password in the Spotify app on your phone

Open the Spotify app and tap the home icon at the bottom (usually a house symbol). In the top right corner, tap your profile icon. Select "Settings" from the menu that appears.

Scroll down and look for "Password" or "Change password". Tap it, then enter your current password and your new password twice. Tap "Save" or "Change password" to confirm. The exact wording and location of these options can vary slightly depending on whether you use iPhone or Android, but the steps are essentially the same.

What happens after you change your password

Spotify will log you out of every device where you were signed in. This is a security feature — it means anyone who had your old password can no longer access your account. You'll need to sign back in on each device using your new password.

If you use Spotify on multiple devices (phone, computer, tablet, smart speaker), you'll need to enter your new password on each one. Start with the devices you use most often. If you have a Spotify Family plan, changing your password only affects your own account, not the accounts of other family members.

Reset your password if you've forgotten it

If you don't remember your current password, you can't use the "Change password" option because Spotify requires you to enter the old one first. Instead, go to Spotify.com and click "Log in". On the login page, click "Forgot your password?"

Enter the email address associated with your Spotify account. Spotify will send you an email with a link to reset your password. Open that email, click the link, and you'll be taken to a page where you can create a new password without needing to know the old one. This link usually works for 24 hours, so check your email soon after requesting it.

Create a strong password you won't forget

A strong Spotify password should be at least 8 characters long and include a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols (like ! @ # $ % ^ &). Avoid using your Spotify username, your real name, your birthdate, or common words that appear in the dictionary.

If you use the same password across multiple accounts, consider changing that habit — if one service gets hacked, all your accounts become vulnerable. A password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or Dashlane can generate and store strong passwords for you so you only have to remember one master password.

Troubleshoot if your password change doesn't work

If you see an error message when trying to change your password, the most common cause is that you entered your current password incorrectly. Passwords are case-sensitive, so make sure Caps Lock is off and you're typing it exactly as you set it up. Try again carefully.

If you're still stuck, try changing your password on the Spotify website instead of the app, or vice versa. Clear your browser cache or close and reopen the Spotify app, then try again. If the problem persists, you can contact Spotify Support through the Help section on their website — they can walk you through the process or reset your account if something is preventing you from making changes yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will changing my password affect my Spotify playlists or saved songs?

No. Your playlists, saved songs, listening history, and all other account data stay exactly the same. Changing your password only affects how you sign in — it doesn't touch any of your music or preferences.

Do I need to change my password if I share my login with someone?

Yes. If someone else knows your password and you want to remove their access, change your password. They'll be logged out of all devices, and you can then share a new password only with people you trust, or set up a Spotify Family plan so each person has their own account.

How often should I change my Spotify password?

There's no rule that says you must change it regularly. Change it if you think someone else knows it, if you used the same password on another service that got hacked, or if you haven't changed it in several years. Otherwise, once is enough as long as you use a strong password.

Can I change my password on a smart speaker or other device?

No. Smart speakers, gaming consoles, and other devices that run Spotify don't have settings pages where you can change your password. Use the Spotify website or the mobile app instead. After you change it, sign back into those devices with your new password.

What if I change my password but still can't log in?

Make sure you're typing your new password correctly — passwords are case-sensitive. If you're certain it's right, try resetting your password again using the "Forgot your password?" link. If that doesn't work, contact Spotify Support and describe what's happening.
