Change your Spotify password from your account settings on any device

To change your Spotify password, log into your account on a web browser, go to your account settings, and select the password option. You can do this from a computer, phone, or tablet — the steps are the same. The change takes effect immediately across all your devices, and you'll stay logged in on the device you used to make the change.

If you've forgotten your password entirely, Spotify has a separate reset process that sends a link to your email. Both routes take just a few minutes and don't require you to contact Spotify support.

Key Takeaways

  • You change your password through your account settings on Spotify's website, not through the mobile app.
  • Your new password takes effect right away on all devices where you're signed in.
  • If you forget your password, use the "Forgot your password?" link on the login page to reset it by email.
  • Changing your password logs you out of all other devices, so you'll need to sign back in on phones, tablets, or computers where you use Spotify.

Steps to change your password on the web

Open a web browser and go to spotify.com. Click the login button in the top right corner and sign in with your email and current password. Once you're logged in, click your profile name or icon in the top right corner — a menu will appear.

Select Account from that menu. On the account page, look for the Password section. Click Change next to it. Enter your current password to confirm it's you, then type your new password twice — once in each field. Click Change password to save it.

Spotify will show a confirmation message. Your new password is now active. Any device where you were already signed in will stay signed in, but the next time you open Spotify on a phone, tablet, or computer, you'll need to enter your new password.

What happens after you change your password

Your new password works immediately on the device where you changed it. On other devices — your phone, tablet, or a different computer — you'll see a message asking you to sign in again. You don't have to do this right away; Spotify will keep asking each time you open the app until you enter your new credentials.

If you have a family plan, changing your password only affects your own account. Other family members keep their passwords and stay signed in on their devices. If you share a device with someone else and want to make sure they can't access your account, sign out of Spotify on that device before changing your password, then sign back in with your new password afterward.

Reset your password if you've forgotten it

Go to spotify.com and click the login button. Below the password field, click Forgot your password? Enter the email address connected to your Spotify account. Spotify will send 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. It will take you to a page where you can create a new password. Type your new password twice and click Reset password. You can then sign in with your new password on any device.

Change your password if your account feels unsafe

If you think someone else has signed into your account or you've used the same password on other websites that were hacked, change your Spotify password right away. After you change it, go back to your account settings and scroll down to Where you're logged in. This section shows every device currently signed into your account.

If you see a device you don't recognize, click the three dots next to it and select Sign out. This removes access from that device without affecting your other logins. Changing your password is the stronger move because it forces every device to sign in again, but signing out individual devices works if you only want to remove one or two.

Use a strong password to protect your account

When you create a new password, make it at least 8 characters long and include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using your name, birthday, or words from the dictionary. Don't reuse a password you've used on other websites — if one of those sites gets hacked, someone could try that password on your Spotify account.

If you use the same password across multiple accounts, consider using a password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or Dashlane. These tools generate strong passwords and remember them for you, so you only have to remember one master password.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will changing my password delete my playlists or saved songs?

No. Changing your password only affects how you sign in. Your playlists, saved songs, listening history, and all other account data stay exactly as they are. The password change doesn't touch any of your content or settings.

Can I change my Spotify password from the mobile app?

No, you have to use a web browser. Open Spotify.com on your phone or tablet, sign in, and follow the account settings steps. The mobile app doesn't have a password change option, but you can still reset a forgotten password through the login page.

How often should I change my Spotify password?

You don't need to change it on a schedule. Change it if you think your account is unsafe, if you've used the same password elsewhere and that site was hacked, or if you haven't changed it in several years. For most people, once a year or whenever you suspect a problem is enough.

What if I change my password and still can't sign in?

Make sure you're typing the new password correctly — passwords are case-sensitive, so uppercase and lowercase letters matter. If you're still stuck, use the "Forgot your password?" link to reset it again. If that doesn't work, Spotify's support page has troubleshooting steps for login problems.
