Change your Spotify email on the web or in the app
You can change the email address linked to your Spotify account in a few minutes using either a web browser or the Spotify app. The process is the same whether you want to switch to a completely new email or fix a typo in your current one. Spotify will send you a confirmation link to your new email address before the change takes effect.
The web method is usually faster if you're at a computer. The app method works if you only have your phone handy. Either way, you'll need to know your current Spotify password — Spotify asks for it as a security check before letting you change your email.
Key Takeaways
- You can change your Spotify email through the website settings or through the mobile app, and both methods take about two minutes.
- Spotify will send a confirmation email to your new address, and you must click the link in that email to complete the change.
- You need your current Spotify password to change your email, so have it ready before you start.
- If you no longer have access to your old email address, you may need to contact Spotify support to verify your identity through other means.
- Changing your email does not affect your playlists, saved songs, or listening history — everything stays with your account.
Change your email using a web browser
Open a web browser and go to www.spotify.com. Log in with your current email and password if you're not already signed in. Once you're logged in, look for your profile name or icon in the top right corner of the page and click it to open a dropdown menu.
Click Account from the dropdown menu. This takes you to your account overview page. Look for the section labeled Email and click the Edit button next to it. A text field will appear where you can type your new email address. Delete the old email and type the new one carefully — Spotify will not let you proceed if the format doesn't look like a real email address.
Click Save or Confirm (the button label may vary slightly). Spotify will ask you to enter your password as a security check. Type your current Spotify password and click the button to proceed. Spotify will then send a confirmation email to your new address.
Check the inbox of your new email address for a message from Spotify. Open that email and click the confirmation link inside it. This link is what actually completes the change — without clicking it, your email stays the same. After you click the link, you'll see a message confirming the change was successful.
Change your email using the Spotify app
Open the Spotify app on your phone or tablet. Tap the Home icon at the bottom of the screen if you're not already on the home page. Look for a gear icon or Settings option — on most phones this is in the top right corner. Tap it to open your settings menu.
Scroll down and tap Account. You'll see your account information, including your current email address. Tap the email address or look for an Edit button next to it. A text field will appear where you can type your new email. Clear the old address and type the new one.
Tap Save or Confirm. The app will ask for your Spotify password as a security check. Enter your password and tap the button to proceed. Spotify will send a confirmation email to your new address, just as it does on the web.
Open the email app on your phone and check the inbox of your new email address for a message from Spotify. Tap the confirmation link in that email to complete the change. You can then return to the Spotify app — your new email is now active on your account.
What happens if you can't access your old email
If you've already lost access to the email address currently linked to your Spotify account, you cannot change it yourself using the steps above. Spotify requires you to confirm the change from your old email address, which you can't do if you no longer have access to it.
In this situation, contact Spotify support through the Help section of the Spotify website or app. Explain that you no longer have access to your old email and want to change it. Spotify support can verify your identity through other information — such as your account creation date, payment method, or listening history — and make the change for you without needing the old email confirmation.
What to do if the confirmation email doesn't arrive
After you request the email change, Spotify sends a confirmation email to your new address within a few minutes. If you don't see it after 10 minutes, check your spam or junk folder — sometimes email filters catch it by mistake. Look for a message from noreply@spotify.com or similar.
If the email still doesn't appear, go back to your Spotify account settings and try the change again. Make sure you typed your new email address correctly — a small typo will cause the confirmation email to go to the wrong place. If you keep having trouble, contact Spotify support and describe what happened. They can resend the confirmation email or help you complete the change another way.
Your playlists and saved music stay with your account
Changing your email address does not affect anything else on your Spotify account. Your playlists, saved songs, followers, and the entire history of what you've listened to all stay exactly as they are. The email change is purely about which address you use to log in.
If you use Spotify on multiple devices — a phone, computer, tablet, or smart speaker — you don't need to do anything on those devices. They will continue to work with your account. The next time you log out and log back in on any device, you can use either your new email address or your Spotify username to sign in.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my email if I don't remember my password?
No, Spotify requires your current password to change your email for security reasons. If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot your password?" link on the Spotify login page to reset it first. Spotify will send a password reset link to your current email address. After you reset your password, you can then change your email using the steps above.
How long does it take for the email change to go through?
The change is complete as soon as you click the confirmation link in the email Spotify sends you. This usually happens within a few minutes of requesting the change. After that, you can log in with your new email address right away.
Will changing my email affect my Spotify Premium subscription?
No. Your subscription stays active and attached to your account. The email change only updates the address you use to log in — it does not touch your billing or subscription status.
Can I use the same email for multiple Spotify accounts?
No, Spotify does not allow the same email address to be linked to more than one account. If you try to change your email to an address that's already in use, Spotify will show an error message. You would need to remove that email from the other account first.
What if I change my mind and want to change it back?
You can change your email as many times as you want using the same process. Just go back to your account settings, click Edit next to your email, type your old email address, and follow the confirmation steps again.
