Change your Spotify password through account settings on the web or app

The fastest way to change your Spotify password is through your account settings on Spotify.com, which takes about two minutes. You can also change it in the mobile app, though the web version gives you more control. Either way, you'll need to know your current password before you start — Spotify requires it as a security check.

If you've forgotten your current password, you'll need to reset it instead of changing it. That's a separate process that uses your email address to verify your identity.

Key Takeaways

  • Changing your password on Spotify.com takes about two minutes and requires your current password for verification.
  • You can also change your password in the Spotify mobile app under Account > Password, though the web version is more straightforward.
  • If you don't remember your current password, use the "Forgot your password?" link on the 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.
  • Changing your password logs you out everywhere, which is useful if you think someone else has access to your account.

Change your password on Spotify.com

Go to Spotify.com and log in with your current email and password. Once you're logged in, click your profile name or icon in the top right corner and select Account from the dropdown menu.

On the Account page, scroll down to the Password section. Click Change next to your password. Spotify will ask you to enter your current password first — this is the security step that prevents someone else from changing it if they gain access to your computer. Type your current password and click Next.

Now enter your new password twice — once in the "New password" field and again in the "Confirm password" field. Spotify requires passwords to be at least 8 characters long. Click Change password when you're done. You'll see a confirmation message, and Spotify will log you out of all your devices automatically.

Change your password in the Spotify mobile app

Open the Spotify app on your phone or tablet and tap the Home icon at the bottom. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner, then select Account. Scroll down and tap Password, then tap Change.

The app will ask for your current password first. Enter it and tap Next. Then enter your new password twice and tap Change password. The process is the same as on the web, and you'll be logged out of all devices when it's complete.

What happens after you change your password

Spotify logs you out of every device where you were signed in — your phone, computer, tablet, smart speaker, car, or any other device. You'll need to sign back in on each one using your new password. This happens automatically and immediately, so if you were listening to music, playback will stop.

This automatic logout is actually a security feature. If you think someone else has your password, changing it logs them out everywhere at once. You won't have to worry about them still having access on a device you don't control.

Reset your password if you've forgotten it

If you don't remember your current password, you can't use the change password option — you'll need to reset it instead. Go to Spotify.com/login and click Forgot your password? below the login fields.

Enter the email address associated with your Spotify account. Spotify will send you a password reset link to that email. Click the link in the email (it usually expires after a few hours), and you'll be taken to a page where you can create a new password. Enter your new password twice and click Reset password. You'll then be able to log in with your new password.

Keep your new password secure

Use a password that's different from passwords you use on other websites. If you use the same password everywhere and one site gets hacked, someone could try that password on your Spotify account and other services. A password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or Dashlane can generate and store strong passwords so you don't have to remember them.

Avoid passwords that contain your name, birth date, or other information someone could guess. The longer your password, the harder it is to crack — 12 to 16 characters is a good target. Spotify requires at least 8 characters, but longer is better.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will changing my password affect my playlists or saved songs?

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

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

No. Change it once in your account settings, and Spotify logs you out everywhere automatically. You then sign back in on each device with your new password, but you only change the password itself one time.

What if I can't receive the password reset email?

Check your spam or junk folder first — the email sometimes ends up there. If you still can't find it, make sure you're using the correct email address. If you've lost access to the email address on your account, you may need to contact Spotify support through their help center.

Can I change my password on a smart speaker or car system?

No. You can only change your password through Spotify.com or the mobile app. After you change it, sign back into those devices with your new password through their settings.
