Change your Spotify password from your account settings on any device
You can change your Spotify password through the account settings on Spotify's website or through the mobile app. The process takes about two minutes and works the same way whether you use a computer, phone, or tablet. You'll need your current password to make the change, so have that ready before you start.
Changing your password is useful if you think someone else knows it, if you use the same password across multiple services and want to make each one unique, or if you simply haven't changed it in a long time. Spotify doesn't force you to change your password on a schedule, but doing so periodically is a good security practice.
Key Takeaways
- You can change your password on Spotify's website by going to Account > Edit Profile > Change Password, or through the mobile app under Settings > Account.
- Spotify will ask you to enter your current password before letting you create a new one.
- Your new password must be at least eight characters long and should include a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols for better security.
- After you change your password, you'll be logged out of all devices and will need to sign in again with your new password.
- If you forget your password, you can reset it using the "Forgot your password?" link on the Spotify login page.
Change your password on the Spotify website
Go to www.spotify.com and log in with your current username and password. Once you're logged in, click your profile name or icon in the top right corner of the page. A menu will drop down with several options.
Select Account from that menu. This takes you to your account overview page, where you'll see your profile information, subscription details, and account settings. Look for the section labeled Login and passwords or Password — the exact label varies slightly depending on your account type and region.
Click Change password. Spotify will ask you to enter your current password first as a security check. Type it in and click the button to proceed. Then you'll see two fields: one for your new password and one to confirm it. Type your new password in both fields to make sure you didn't make a typo.
Click Set password or Save (the button label depends on your region). Spotify will confirm that your password has been changed. You'll then be logged out of all devices automatically.
Change your password on the Spotify mobile app
Open the Spotify app on your phone or tablet and tap the Home icon at the bottom of the screen. In the top right corner, tap your profile icon or the gear icon for Settings. The exact location varies slightly between iOS and Android, but both lead to the same settings menu.
Look for Account or Your account in the settings menu and tap it. You may need to scroll down to find it. Once you're in your account settings, find the option for Password or Change password.
Tap Change password. The app will ask you to enter your current password as verification. After you do, you'll see fields for your new password and a confirmation field. Enter your new password in both places and tap Save or Confirm. The app will log you out of all devices once the change is complete.
What to do after you change your password
After you change your password, Spotify automatically logs you out everywhere — on your phone, computer, tablet, and any other devices where you were signed in. This is a security feature that prevents anyone else from using your account if they had your old password.
You'll need to sign back in on each device you use. Open Spotify, enter your username or email address, and use your new password. If you have Spotify on multiple devices, you can sign in to them one at a time as you use them, or sign in to all of them right away if you prefer.
If you share your Spotify account with family members or friends, let them know about the password change so they can sign in again with the new password. If you use Spotify Family, each family member has their own login, so only people who share the account password will need to sign in again.
Creating a strong new password
Spotify requires your new password to be at least eight characters long. A stronger password includes a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols like !, @, #, or $. For example, BlueSky#2024 is stronger than password123.
Avoid using information that's easy to guess, like your birth date, your name, or common words. Don't reuse a password you've used for other accounts — if one service gets hacked, a unique password keeps your other accounts safer. If you have trouble remembering passwords, consider using a password manager, which stores passwords securely and fills them in for you.
If you forget your new password
If you change your password and then forget it, go to the Spotify login page and 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. Click that link, and you'll be able to create a new password without needing to know the old one.
Check your spam or junk folder if you don't see the reset email in your inbox within a few minutes. If you still don't receive it, make sure you're using the correct email address for your Spotify account. You can check which email is linked to your account by trying to log in with different email addresses you might have used.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will changing my password delete my playlists or listening history?
No. Changing your password only changes how you log in. All your playlists, saved songs, followers, and listening history stay exactly as they are. Your account data is separate from your login credentials.
Do I need to change my password on each device separately?
No. When you change your password in your account settings, it changes for your entire Spotify account everywhere. You just need to sign in again on each device with your new password.
What if I can't remember my current password to change it?
You can't change your password without knowing the current one through the normal settings. Instead, use the "Forgot your password?" link on the login page to reset it. Spotify will send you a reset link to your email address.
Can I change my password on a shared or public computer?
You can, but it's safer not to. If you do change your password on a shared computer, make sure to log out of Spotify completely when you're done. Since changing your password logs you out everywhere, anyone using that computer afterward won't have access to your account.
How often should I change my Spotify password?
There's no set schedule. Change it if you think someone knows it, if you reuse it across multiple services, or if you haven't changed it in several years. Many people change passwords once or twice a year as a general security practice.
