Change your password from the Spotify website or app in under two minutes

To change your Spotify password, log into your account on the Spotify website, go to your account settings, and select "Change password" under the Security section. You'll enter your current password once, then type your new password twice to confirm it. On the mobile app, the process is similar: open Settings, tap Account, then Change Password. Either way takes about 90 seconds and logs you out of all devices when complete.

Changing your password is a straightforward security step that takes the same amount of time whether you use a computer or phone. The main thing to remember is that Spotify will sign you out everywhere after the change, so you'll need to sign back in on any devices you use regularly.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your password through the Spotify website at account.spotify.com or through the mobile app's Settings menu.
  • Spotify requires your current password before you can set a new one, so you'll need to remember it to make the change.
  • Changing your password automatically logs you out of every device where you're signed in, so you'll need to sign back in afterward.
  • If you've forgotten your current password, use the "Forgot your password?" link on the login screen instead of trying to change it from Settings.
  • A strong password includes uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols — Spotify doesn't have a stated minimum length but recommends at least 8 characters.

Changing your password on the Spotify website

Open a web browser and go to account.spotify.com. Sign in with your email address and current password if you're not already logged in. Once you're on your account page, look for the "Security" section on the left side of the screen.

Click "Change password" under Security. Spotify will ask you to enter your current password first — this confirms you're the account owner. Then type your new password in the next field and type it again in the "Confirm password" field to make sure there are no typos. Click "Change password" to save it. You'll see a confirmation message, and Spotify will log you out of all your devices.

Changing your password on the Spotify mobile app

Open the Spotify app on your phone or tablet. Tap the gear icon (Settings) at the bottom right of the screen. Scroll down and tap "Account" to open your account settings.

Tap "Change password" in the Account menu. Enter your current password, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches. Tap "Change password" to save the change. Like the website, this will log you out of all devices, so you'll need to sign back in on your phone and any other devices where you use Spotify.

What happens after you change your password

Spotify automatically signs you out everywhere when you change your password. This is a security feature — it means if someone else had access to your account, they'll be locked out. On your phone, you'll usually see a prompt to sign back in right away. On computers, tablets, and other devices, you'll need to open Spotify and enter your email and new password the next time you use it.

If you use Spotify on multiple devices, plan to change your password when you have time to sign back in on each one. You don't have to do it all at once — you can sign back in whenever you next use each device. Keep in mind that you'll need your new password handy for each sign-in, so write it down or save it in a password manager before you forget it.

Creating a strong new password

Spotify doesn't publish a specific password length requirement, but security experts recommend at least 8 characters. A strong password includes a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols — for example, "BlueSky#2024Jazz" is stronger than "bluesky2024" because it uses uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and a symbol together.

Avoid using the same password across multiple services. If you use the same password for Spotify, email, and banking, and one service gets hacked, all your accounts are at risk. Consider using a password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or Dashlane to generate and store unique passwords for each service. These tools remember your passwords so you don't have to.

If you've forgotten your current password

You can't change your password from Settings if you don't remember the current one. Instead, go to the Spotify login page and click "Forgot your password?" Enter the email address connected to your account. Spotify will send you a link to reset your password — check your inbox and spam folder for the email.

Click the link in the email, and you'll be taken to a page where you can create a new password without entering the old one. This process works the same way whether you're on the website or the mobile app. The reset link usually expires after a few hours, so complete the process soon after you request it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will changing my password affect my Spotify playlists or saved songs?

No. Your playlists, saved songs, and listening history stay exactly the same. Changing your password only affects how you sign in — it doesn't touch any of your account data or music library.

Do I have to change my password on every device separately?

No. You change your password once in Settings or on the website, and it takes effect across your entire account. However, you do need to sign back in on each device after the change, since Spotify logs you out everywhere for security.

Can I change my password if I'm using a Spotify Family plan?

Yes. Each person on a Family plan has their own account and can change their own password independently. Changing one person's password doesn't affect anyone else on the plan.

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

Make sure you're using the correct email address and your new password — not your old one. If you're still stuck, try resetting your password again using the "Forgot your password?" link. If the problem continues, contact Spotify Support through the Help section 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 for most people. Change it sooner if you think someone else might have access to your account, if you've used the same password on another service that was hacked, or if you haven't changed it in several years.
