FAQs about changing your Spotify password
Can two people log into the same Spotify account?
Yes, two people can be signed in on the same account, but only one device can stream at a time—starting playback on a second device pauses the first. To listen together, use Premium Duo/Family (separate accounts) or start a Jam and share the link so everyone hears the same queue.
How many devices on one Spotify account?
One device can stream at a time per account. For offline listening, you can download on up to five devices (up to 10,000 tracks per device). If you need simultaneous listening, get Premium Duo/Family (separate accounts) or host a Jam to listen together in real time.
Why can’t I log into Spotify with my correct password?
Common causes are typos, the wrong account, or using the wrong sign-in method. Turn off Caps Lock, remove spaces, and confirm the email or username. If you still can’t get in or see unknown devices, reset your password and select Sign out everywhere. Also rule out Wi-Fi or Spotify service outages.
Why can’t I change my Spotify password?
Because password changes happen in a web browser, not the Spotify app. Go to account.spotify.com → Account Overview → Change password. If you sign in with Google, Apple, or Facebook, change it with that provider or disconnect and create a Spotify password via the reset page. If the site fails, try later.
Can I change my Spotify password without email?
No. Spotify sends reset links to the registered email address. If you’re signed in, update your email in Account → Edit profile, then request a reset. Social logins must change the password with Google/Apple/Facebook or create a Spotify password using the same email. Without inbox access, contact Support.
