The music doesn\u2019t have to stop just because you\u2019ve forgotten your Spotify password. This streaming service offers everything from personalized playlists to pop culture podcasts. For many of us, it\u2019s the first stop to hear the latest music from our favorite artists. Knowing how to perform a Spotify password reset is a must, just as remembering to change your Spotify password regularly to keep your account well-protected.<\/p><\/div>

How to reset your Spotify password<\/h2>

If you\u2019ve forgotten your Spotify password, resetting it is the quickest option to regain access to your account. To do so, you\u2019ll need to use your browser because it won\u2019t work on desktop or mobile apps. Head to the Password Reset<\/a> page on your browser and follow these simple steps.<\/p>

  1. Type your Spotify username or email address into the text box and click \u201cSend.\u201d<\/b><\/p><\/li>

  2. Open a new tab, navigate to your inbox, and look for an email with the subject \u201cReset your password.\u201d<\/b> Check your spam folder if you don\u2019t see it within a few minutes. For Gmail users, look in the \u201cSocial and Promotion\u201d<\/b> sections.<\/p><\/li>

  3. In the email, click \u201cReset password.\u201d<\/b><\/p><\/li>

  4. You\u2019ll be redirected to the \u201cReset\u201d<\/b> page. Enter and confirm your new password.<\/p><\/li>

  5. Click \u201cSend.\u201d<\/b><\/p><\/li>

  6. You can now return to the browser or the app and log in with your new password.<\/p><\/li><\/ol>

    It\u2019s imperative to keep passwords secure across all your devices and profiles, but too many people still use the same login details for multiple accounts.<\/p>

    That can be convenient and make credentials easy to remember, but it also increases the threat posed by cybercriminals and hackers. You could be in trouble if someone broke into one of your accounts and that password was reused across many different profiles.<\/p>

    For this reason, you must change your password regularly and differentiate it from others.<\/p>

    One of the easiest and quickest ways to equip all your favorite online accounts with strong and unique passwords is by using a password generator. The NordPass Password Generator<\/a> can create custom, virtually uncrackable passwords instantly.<\/p>

    How to change a Spotify password<\/h2>

    Still, remember your Spotify password but want to change it today? Here\u2019s how:<\/p>

    1. Open Spotify on your browser (again, this won\u2019t work on desktop or phone apps).<\/p><\/li>

    2. Log into your account.<\/p><\/li>

    3. Click on the profile icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.<\/p><\/li>

    4. Click \u201cAccount.\u201d<\/b><\/p><\/li>

    5. Click \u201cChange password.\u201d<\/b><\/p><\/li>

    6. Input your current password and your new password.<\/p><\/li>

    7. Click \u201cSet new password.\u201d<\/b><\/p><\/li><\/ol>

      Now you can open your app and input your new password if you\u2019ve been automatically logged out.<\/p>

      Frequently asked questions<\/h2>

      \u00a0<\/p>

      Does Spotify send emails to reset passwords?<\/p>

      \u00a0<\/div><\/div>

      \u00a0<\/p>

      Yes, sending emails is a part of the Spotify password reset procedure. However, stay vigilant. If you received an email titled \u201cReset your password\u201d but didn\u2019t initiate the process, it could be an attempt to take over your Spotify account.<\/p>

      Under any circumstances, do not click on the link provided in the email. Instead, change Spotify password immediately (you\u2019ll find the instructions above!).<\/p>

      After changing your password, make sure to remove third-party apps\u2019 access to your Spotify accounts and log out from all devices and web pages. Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>

      1. Open and log in to Spotify via your browser.<\/p><\/li>

      2. Click on your profile icon in the upper-right corner of the screen and choose \u201cAccount.\u201d<\/b><\/p><\/li>

      3. Go to \u201cManage apps.\u201d<\/b><\/p><\/li>

      4. Review the app list and remove all the apps linked to your account by clicking on the \u201cRemove Access\u201d<\/b> button next to each item. You can reconnect your favorite apps with Spotify later after securing your account.<\/p><\/li>

      5. Go back to the Account tab and choose \u201cSign out everywhere.\u201d<\/b><\/p><\/li>

      6. Tap the \u201cSign out everywhere\u201d<\/b> button. It will log you out of Spotify on all devices and web pages where you\u2019re currently logged in.<\/p><\/li>

      7. Now, log in to the streaming platform with the new secure password!<\/p><\/li><\/ol><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

        How often should I change my Spotify password?<\/p>

        \u00a0<\/div><\/div>

        \u00a0<\/p>

        We do not advise changing your Spotify password more often than once a year unless you have a reason to do so. Frequent password changes can lead to frustration and cutting corners by reusing old passwords or choosing a minor variation of the previous one.<\/p>
