How to Change Your Spotify Password: A Simple Guide (2026)

There are three very practical reasons to change your Spotify password: to secure your account if you suspect a security breach, to regain control if someone has logged in from another device, or simply to switch to a stronger password.

In this guide, we see:

• How to change your Spotify password if you know your current one,
• how to reset it if you've forgotten it,
• What to do if you sign in with Google, Facebook, or Apple,
• and solutions to the most common problems (email never received, expired link, etc.).

1) Before you begin: Check how you sign in to Spotify

Spotify can be used in two ways:

• "Standard" login with email address/username and password,
• Sign in via a provider (Google, Facebook, Apple).

Why is this important?
Because if you sign in with Google/Facebook/Apple, you may not have a Spotify password “set up” from the start. In that case, the best approach is to create a Spotify password by resetting it, and then you’ll be able to sign in with your email address and password.

2) How to change your Spotify password (if you know your current one)

This is the simplest scenario: you're logged in and just want to update your password.

Steps

1. Open your Spotify account page (in a browser).
2. Go to Security and Privacy.
3. Click " Change Password."
4. Enter:
   • your current password,
   • your new password (twice).
5. Confirm.

✅ Once you've done that, Spotify will update your account password. Depending on your devices, you may be asked to sign in again.

3) Forgot your Spotify password? Here's how to reset it

If you can't remember your password, there's no need to try 15 different combinations: Spotify offers a simple reset via email.

Steps

1. Go to the Spotify password reset page.
2. Enter the email address (or username) associated with the account.
3. Open the email sent by Spotify.
4. Click the reset link and choose a new password.

If you don't receive the email

Before resubmitting the request:

• Check your Spam or Junk folder,
• In Gmail, also check the Social or Promotions tab,
• Please wait a few minutes (sometimes there is a slight delay in sending),
• Please try again, making sure you've entered the correct address.

4) Special case: Signing in to Spotify with Google, Facebook, or Apple

This is a very common scenario: you click the “Sign in with Google” button, and then months later, you want to change your password… only you don’t even remember creating one.

4.1. Sign in with Google

You can create a Spotify password by resetting it (using the Gmail address linked to your account). After that, you can log in either via Google or by entering your email address and new password.

4.2. Log in with Facebook

Same process: Request a reset using the email address you use for Facebook (the one linked to your Spotify account), which will allow you to set a Spotify password.

4.3. Sign in with Apple (Hide my email address)

With Apple, the email address shared with Spotify may be different (Apple “private” email address).
If you’ve enabled “Hide My Email,” check your Apple settings to see which email address is being used for Spotify, then use that email address to reset your password.

5) Secure your account after changing your password

Changing your password is good. Doing it “properly” is better.

5.1. Disconnect any devices you don't recognize

If you suspect unauthorized access:

• Disconnect unknown devices from the account page,
• then change the password.

5.2. Verify the account's email address

Hackers often try to change the email address associated with an account. Make sure the address listed in your profile is indeed yours.

5.3. Choose a strong password (without making it unnecessarily complicated)

A good password is:

• long (at least 12 characters),
• unique (not used elsewhere),
• combining letters, numbers, and symbols,
• ideally generated and stored in a password manager.

6) Common Problems (and Quick Fixes)

“The reset link isn't working”

• Resubmit your request: the links have expired.
• Open the link in another browser if necessary.

“I can’t remember which email address is linked to my Spotify account”

If you have several possible email addresses, try resetting your password with each one: Spotify will only send the email if the address matches an existing account.

“I’m logged in to the app, but I can’t find the option to change my password”

Spotify typically redirects users to the account page in a web browser when they change their password (which is more reliable and offers more features than some in-app menus).

7) A budget tip: Spotify Premium can get expensive quickly (but there’s a simple alternative)

If you take the time to secure your account, it’s usually because you use Spotify regularly—sometimes even every day. And when you add up Spotify plus two or three other subscriptions (streaming, games, tools), your monthly budget can quickly add up.

A simple way to lower your bill is to use a shared subscription: some plans let you split the cost among several people, rather than paying the full amount yourself.

That is precisely the principle of Spliiit : the platform lets you join a shared subscription or offer a spot on a multi-user plan, while managing the matching process and payments. The result: you keep Spotify Premium, but you only pay your share.
