You can log out of Spotify on individual devices one at a time, or sign out everywhere at once from your account settings
The fastest way depends on whether you want to keep Spotify active on some devices or remove your account from all of them. If you've lost a device, shared your password, or just want a fresh start, logging out takes less than a minute.
Spotify keeps you signed in across all your devices by default. Logging out removes your account from one device, a group of devices, or everything at once — your choice. Your playlists, saved music, and listening history stay in your account no matter what you do.
Key Takeaways
- You can log out of a single device through the app or website settings without affecting other devices where you're signed in.
- To sign out everywhere at once, go to your account settings on Spotify's website and select "Sign out everywhere".
- Logging out on a phone or tablet requires opening the app settings, not your Spotify account settings.
- If you forget which devices are signed in, your account page shows every active session and lets you remove them individually.
Log out on your phone or tablet
Open the Spotify app and tap the home icon at the bottom left. Tap your profile picture in the top right corner, then select "Settings and privacy". Scroll down and tap "Log out". The app will ask you to confirm — tap "Log out" again, and you'll be returned to the login screen.
On iPad, the steps are identical. The profile icon is in the top right, and the logout option is in the same Settings and privacy menu. After you log out, the app stays on your device but you'll need to sign back in to use it. This action only affects the phone or tablet you're holding — your account remains active everywhere else.
Log out on your computer or Mac
Open Spotify on your desktop. Click your profile picture in the top right corner and select "Log out". A confirmation window will appear — click "Log out" to finish. You'll return to the login screen.
If you're using the Spotify web player at spotify.com instead of the desktop app, the process is the same: click your profile picture in the top right and select "Log out". You'll be signed out of the web player but remain signed in on any other devices. The desktop app and web player are treated as separate devices, so you may need to log out of both if you want to remove your account from your computer entirely.
Sign out of Spotify everywhere at once
Go to spotify.com and sign in if you're not already. Click your profile picture in the top right and select "Account". Scroll down to the "Sign out everywhere" section and click the button. Spotify will sign you out of every device connected to your account.
This action takes effect immediately. Every phone, tablet, computer, and web browser will be logged out within seconds. You'll need to sign back in on any device you want to use Spotify on. This is the best option if you've shared your password with someone and want to revoke their access, or if you suspect unauthorized use.
See which devices are currently signed in
Go to spotify.com and sign in. Click your profile picture and select "Account". Under "Your devices", you'll see a list of every device currently signed into your account, along with the last time each one was used. The list includes the device name, type (phone, computer, web browser), and approximate location based on IP address.
If you see a device you don't recognize, you can remove it individually by clicking the X next to its name. This logs that device out without affecting the others. Removing a device this way is faster than logging out on the device itself if you no longer have access to it.
What happens after you log out
Once you log out, your account is no longer active on that device. Spotify will no longer save your listening history, recommendations, or playlists to that device. If someone else uses the device, they'll see the login screen and won't be able to access your account unless they know your password.
Logging out does not delete your account, your playlists, or your saved music. Everything stays in your Spotify account and will be there when you sign back in. You can log back in anytime using your email address and password, or through Facebook or Google if you originally signed up that way.
Troubleshooting: You can't find the logout option
If you're looking at your Spotify account settings (the page that shows your username, email, and password), you're in the wrong place. Account settings are different from app settings. On a phone, open the Spotify app itself, tap your profile picture, and look for "Settings and privacy" — that's where logout lives. On a computer, click your profile picture inside the Spotify app, not on the website.
If the logout button is grayed out or won't respond, try closing the app completely and opening it again. On a phone, swipe up from the bottom of the screen (iPhone) or tap the back button repeatedly (Android) to fully close the app, then reopen it. On a computer, quit Spotify entirely using the menu or task manager, then launch it again. If the problem persists, uninstall and reinstall the app.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I log out of Spotify on one device without logging out on others?
Yes. When you log out through the app or website on a single device, only that device is signed out. Your account remains active on every other device. Use "Sign out everywhere" only if you want to log out of all devices at the same time.
What if I lost my phone and want to log out remotely?
Go to spotify.com from any computer or another device, sign into your account, and go to Account settings. Under "Your devices", find the lost phone and click the X next to it to remove it. This logs Spotify out on that device without needing physical access to it.
Will logging out delete my playlists or saved songs?
No. Logging out only removes your account from that device. All your playlists, saved songs, and listening history stay in your Spotify account. When you sign back in, everything will be there.
Do I need to log out if I'm selling or giving away my device?
Yes. Before you hand over a device, log out of Spotify through the app settings. This removes your account from the device so the new owner won't have access to your account, playlists, or payment information.
How long does it take to sign out everywhere?
Signing out everywhere is instant on the website, but it can take a few seconds for all devices to receive the logout signal. If a device is offline, it will log out the next time it connects to the internet.
