You cannot check your current Spotify password because Spotify never displays it. If you want to change your Spotify password, you have two real options: change it if you know it, or reset it if you have forgotten it.
Can you check your Spotify password?
Spotify does not provide any way to view your current password. This is a standard security practice across most online services. If you need to update your password, you must either change it (when you remember your existing one) or reset it (when you have forgotten it).
How to change your Spotify password if you know it
If you know your current password and wish to change it, you can do so through the Spotify website. This is the most direct route to update your credentials without needing a reset.
- Open a web browser and go to the Spotify website.
- Log in to your account using your current email or username and password.
- Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner, then select "Account" from the dropdown menu.
- On the account overview page, find the "Change password" section.
- Enter your current password, then type your new password twice, and click "Set new password".
Your password is now updated. Use the new password the next time you log into Spotify on any device.
How to reset your forgotten Spotify password
If you have forgotten your Spotify password, you must reset it rather than retrieve it. The process is straightforward and only requires access to the email address linked to your account.
- Go to Spotify.com/password-reset in a web browser.
- Enter the email address or username associated with your Spotify account on the password reset page and click "Send Link" or "Send".
- Spotify will send a password reset email to the address linked to your account; check your inbox, including spam or junk folders.
- Open the email from Spotify and click the "Reset Password" link provided.
- You will be directed to a page where you can enter and confirm a new password, then click "Set new password" or "Create password".
You need access to the email address associated with your Spotify account to successfully complete a password reset. If the reset link does not work, try opening it in a private or incognito browser window.
Tips for creating a strong new Spotify password
After changing or resetting your password, take a moment to create something strong. Use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using easily guessed information like your name, birthdate, or common words. Consider using a password manager to generate and store a unique, complex password for your Spotify account. A strong password is your best defense against unauthorized access.
