Change your Spotify password through your account settings on the web or in the app
The fastest way to change your Spotify password is to go to your account page on Spotify's website, sign in, and update it there in about two minutes. You can also change it from the mobile app, though the web method is more straightforward. Either way, you'll need to know your current password before you start, and Spotify will ask you to confirm your email address as part of the process.
If you've forgotten your current password, you can reset it using your email instead — Spotify will send you a link to create a new one without needing the old password first. This takes a few extra minutes but works from any device.
Key Takeaways
- On the web, go to your account settings at account.spotify.com, scroll to "Password," and enter your current password plus your new one twice.
- On mobile, open the app, tap your profile icon, select Settings, find "Password," and follow the same steps.
- You must enter your current password to change it, so if you've forgotten it, use the "Forgot your password?" link on the login page instead.
- Your new password takes effect immediately across all devices and sessions — you won't be logged out, but the change is active right away.
Changing your password on the Spotify website
Open a web browser and go to account.spotify.com. Sign in with your email and current password if you're not already logged in. Once you're in your account, look for the "Password" section — it's usually in the left menu under "Account" or near the top of the page depending on your account type.
Click or tap "Change" next to the password field. Spotify will ask you to enter your current password first, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches. Make sure your new password is at least 8 characters long and includes a mix of letters, numbers, or symbols — Spotify will tell you if it's too weak. Click "Set password" or "Save" when you're done.
Changing your password in the Spotify mobile app
Open the Spotify app on your phone or tablet and tap your profile icon in the bottom right corner (on iOS) or top right (on Android). Select "Settings and privacy" or just "Settings" depending on your device. Scroll down until you find "Password" and tap it.
Enter your current password, then type your new password twice. The same rules apply — at least 8 characters, and Spotify will flag it if it's too simple. Tap "Save" or "Done" to confirm. The change syncs across all your devices within a few seconds.
What to do if you've forgotten your current password
Go to the Spotify login page at spotify.com and click "Forgot your password?" below the password field. Enter the email address connected to your account. Spotify will send you a password reset link to that email — check your inbox and spam folder if you don't see it right away.
Click the link in the email, which takes you to a page where you can create a new password. You don't need to know your old password for this method. Once you've set a new one, you can log back in and use it on all your devices.
What happens after you change your password
Your new password is active immediately. You won't be automatically logged out of the Spotify app or web player on any device, but if you log out or your session expires, you'll need to use your new password to sign back in. If you want to log out of all devices at once, you can do that from your account settings on the web — look for "Sign out everywhere" or "Log out of all devices."
If you change your password because you think someone else has access to your account, signing out everywhere is a good idea. It forces anyone using your account on other devices to log in again with the new password, locking them out.
Choosing a strong password you can remember
A strong Spotify password doesn't have to be complicated, but it should be hard for someone else to guess. Use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, at least one number, and ideally a symbol like ! or @. Avoid using your name, birth date, or common words that appear in a dictionary.
If you use the same password across multiple accounts, consider changing it to something unique to Spotify — that way, if one service gets hacked, your other accounts stay protected. A password manager like Bitwarden or 1Password can store it securely so you don't have to remember it yourself.
Troubleshooting password change problems
If you see an error message when trying to change your password, the most common cause is that your new password is too similar to your old one or doesn't meet Spotify's requirements. Try a password with more variety — add a number or symbol if you haven't already, and make sure it's at least 8 characters.
If the page won't load or you're stuck on a loading screen, try clearing your browser cache or closing and reopening the Spotify app. If you're on the web, try a different browser. If the problem persists, sign out completely, wait a minute, and sign back in before trying again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to change my password on every device separately?
No. Changing your password once updates it across all devices and apps. You'll use the new password the next time you log in on any device, but you won't need to change it multiple times.
Can I change my password without knowing my current one?
Not through the settings page — you'll need your current password there. Use the "Forgot your password?" link on the login page instead, and Spotify will send you a reset link to your email.
Will changing my password log me out of Spotify?
No, you'll stay logged in on all devices. But if you log out or your session expires, you'll need to sign back in with your new password. If you want to force a logout everywhere, use the "Sign out everywhere" option in your account settings.
How often should I change my Spotify password?
There's no set rule, but changing it once or twice a year is reasonable. Change it immediately if you think someone else has accessed your account or if you've used the same password on another service that was hacked.
