Change your Spotify password: a simple guide (2026)

There are three very specific reasons to change your Spotify password: to secure your account if you have any doubts, to regain control if someone has logged in elsewhere, or simply to start again with 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 have forgotten it,
• What to do if you log 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 connect to Spotify

Spotify can be used in two ways:

• "Classic" login with email/username + password,
• sign in via a provider (Google, Facebook, Apple).

Why is this important?
Because if you log in with Google/Facebook/Apple, you sometimes don't have a Spotify password "set" by default. In this case, the correct method is to create a Spotify password via reset, then you can log in with your email + password afterwards.

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

This is the simplest situation: you are logged in and just want to update your password.

Steps

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

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

3) Forgotten Spotify password: how to reset it

If you can't remember your password, there's no need to try 15 different combinations: Spotify offers a secure 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 on the reset link and choose a new password.

If you do not receive the email

Before resubmitting the request:

• Check Spam/Junk Mail,
• In Gmail, also check the Social or Promotions tab.
• wait a few minutes (sometimes the sending is slightly delayed),
• Please try again, making sure you have entered the correct address.

4) Special case: connecting Spotify with Google, Facebook, or Apple

This is a very common scenario: you use the "Sign in with Google" button, and months later, you want to change your password... except you don't even remember creating one.

4.1. You log in with Google

You can create a Spotify password by resetting it (using the Gmail address linked to the account). You will then be able to log in either via Google or via email + new password.

4.2. You log in with Facebook

Same logic: request a reset using the email address used for Facebook (the one associated with 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 shared with Spotify may be different (Apple "private" address).
If you have enabled "Hide my email address," check in Apple settings which email is used for Spotify, then use that email for the reset.

5) Secure your account after changing your password

Changing your password is good. Doing it "properly" is better.

5.1. Disconnect devices you do not recognize

If you suspect unauthorized access:

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

5.2. Verify the account email address

Hackers often try to change the account email address. Make sure that the address displayed in your profile is yours.

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

A good password is:

• long (at least 12 characters),
• unique (not reused elsewhere),
• mixing letters, numbers, symbols,
• Ideally generated and stored in a password manager.

6) Common problems (and quick fixes)

“The reset link does not work.”

• Resubmit a new request: links expire.
• Open the link in another browser if necessary.

“I don't know which email address is linked to my Spotify account anymore.”

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

“I'm logged into the app, but I can't find the option to change my password.”

Spotify usually redirects password changes to the account page on the browser (more reliable and comprehensive than some in-app menus).

7) A budget point: Spotify Premium quickly becomes expensive (and there is a simple option)

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

A simple approach to reducing the bill is to use a shared subscription: some plans allow you to split the cost between several people, rather than paying 100% yourself.

That's precisely how Spliiit works: the platform allows you to join a shared subscription or offer a spot on a multi-user plan, while managing connections and payments. The result: you keep Spotify Premium, but you only pay your share.
