Change your password from the Spotify website or app in under five minutes
Open Spotify on any device, go to your account settings, and select "Change password." You'll enter your current password once, then type your new password twice to confirm it. Spotify will log you out of all devices when ready after you save the change, so you'll need to sign back in on any phone, computer, or speaker where you use the service.
The process is the same whether you use the web version or the mobile app, though the exact menu location differs slightly. If you've forgotten your current password entirely, you'll use the "Forgot your password?" link instead, which sends a reset link to your email address.
Key Takeaways
- You can change your password from Spotify's website at account.spotify.com or from the app settings menu on any device.
- Changing your password logs you out everywhere, so you'll need to sign back in on phones, computers, and smart speakers.
- If you don't remember your current password, use the "Forgot your password?" option on the login screen instead of trying to change it.
- A strong password should be at least 8 characters long and mix letters, numbers, and symbols — avoid using your username, email, or words from a dictionary.
- If someone else has access to your account, change your password when ready and review which devices are signed in under "Your devices" in settings.
Change your password on the Spotify website
Go to account.spotify.com in any web browser and sign in with your current email and password. Once you're logged in, look for "Account" in the left sidebar menu and click it. You'll see a section labeled "Password" with a button that says "Change." Click that button.
Type your current password in the first field, then enter your new password in the second field. Type it again in the third field to confirm you didn't make a typo. Click "Change password" at the bottom. Spotify will show a confirmation message, and you'll be logged out of the website when ready.
Change your password in the Spotify app on your phone
Open the Spotify app and tap the gear icon in the top right corner (on iPhone) or the three horizontal lines in the bottom right corner (on Android), then select "Settings." Scroll down until you see "Account" and tap it. Look for "Change password" and tap that option.
Enter your current password, then your new password twice. Tap "Change password" to save. The app will log you out, and you'll need to sign back in with your new password before you can play music again.
Change your password on a computer
Open the Spotify desktop app and click your profile name in the top right corner. Select "Account" from the dropdown menu, which will open account.spotify.com in your browser. Follow the same steps as the website method above: click "Account" in the sidebar, find "Password," and click "Change."
If you use Spotify on a work computer or shared device, always change your password from a device you own and trust. Never use a public computer to change your password, since the browser may save your login information.
What to do if you've forgotten your password
Go to the Spotify login page and click "Forgot your password?" below the password field. Enter the email address connected to your Spotify account. Spotify will send a password reset link to that email within a few minutes.
Open the email and click the reset link. It will take you to a page where you can create a new password. Type your new password twice to confirm it, then click "Reset password." You'll be logged out of all devices, and you can sign back in with your new password on any device.
If you don't receive the reset email within 10 minutes, check your spam or junk folder. If it's still not there, make sure you're using the correct email address — you can try again with a different email if you have multiple accounts.
Make sure your new password is strong
A strong password is at least 8 characters long and includes a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols like ! @ # $ % or &. Avoid using your Spotify username, your email address, or words you can find in a dictionary. Don't use the same password across multiple services — if one site gets hacked, a unique password keeps your other accounts safe.
If you have trouble remembering passwords, consider using a password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or KeePass. These tools store your passwords in an encrypted vault and can generate strong random passwords for you. You only have to remember one master password to access all of them.
Review which devices are signed in after you change your password
After you change your password, go back to account.spotify.com and click "Account" in the sidebar. Scroll down to find "Your devices" or "Sign out everywhere." This section shows every phone, computer, tablet, and smart speaker currently signed into your account.
If you see a device you don't recognize or no longer use, click the X or "Sign out" button next to it. This removes Spotify from that device when ready. If someone else has been using your account without permission, signing out all devices and changing your password will lock them out.
What happens when you change your password
Spotify logs you out of every device within a few minutes of saving your new password. On your phone, the app will ask you to sign in again the next time you try to play music. On a computer, you'll see a login screen. On smart speakers like Amazon Echo or Google Home, you may need to go into the Spotify app on your phone and reconnect the speaker to your account.
Your playlists, saved songs, and listening history stay exactly the same — changing your password doesn't delete anything. It only changes how you sign in. If you use Spotify Family, each family member will also be logged out and will need to sign back in with their own password.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my password if I signed up with Facebook or Google?
If you created your Spotify account by signing in with Facebook or Google, you don't have a Spotify password to change. Instead, change the password for your Facebook or Google account. The next time you sign into Spotify, use the same "Sign in with Facebook" or "Sign in with Google" button you used before.
Will changing my password affect my Spotify Family plan?
No, changing your password only affects your own account. Other family members keep their own passwords and accounts. However, they will be logged out and will need to sign back in on their devices after you change your password.
How often should I change my Spotify password?
You don't need to change it on a schedule unless you suspect someone else has access to your account. If you use the same password on multiple websites, change it when ready if any of those sites reports a data breach. If you share your password with someone and no longer want them to have access, change it right away.
What if I can't sign back in after changing my password?
Make sure you're typing your new password correctly — passwords are case-sensitive, so "Password" is different from "password." If you're still stuck, use the "Forgot your password?" link to reset it again. If that doesn't work, contact Spotify Support through the help section at support.spotify.com.
Can I see a list of all my passwords on Spotify?
No, Spotify doesn't show you a list of your past passwords. You can only change your current password. If you need to know what password you're using, use the "Forgot your password?" option to reset it to something you'll remember.
