Strong passwords are easy to forget. Spotify gives you the option to recover your password via email if you forget it.
Most people use music streaming services to listen to their favorite songs – Spotify is at the top of the list. A secure password protects your own account and personal data. Unfortunately, many people forget their passwords from time to time. With Spotify, the password can be reset using the email address – or without it if necessary.
Reset Spotify password with email address
The quickest way to gain access to your account despite forgetting your password is to restore it via the browser. This option is not available within the Spotify app. The easiest way to recover is to know your email address. Follow these steps:
- Open Spotify in the browser and click on the account login field.
- Click on the “Forgot Password” field.
- Now enter your email address that you used when creating your account.
- Spotify will send you an email to renew your password.
- Follow the instructions in the email and create a new password.
Then log in to Spotify with your new access data. If you don’t receive the email within a few minutes, check your spam folder or try again.
Reset password without email
As an alternative to your email address, you have the option of using your username. Also open the streaming service in the web browser and follow the first two steps above. Then, instead of entering your email address, enter the username you chose for your account. Spotify will redirect you to a corresponding page where you can create a new password.
Change password without access data
Do you no longer have access data or is there a technical error preventing you from restoring your user name? Then contact Spotify support directly:
- Open Spotify in your web browser and click on the “Contact Us” field.
- You have the option to contact support via message or via Facebook.
- The more information you provide about your account, the easier it will be for support to restore your account.
- Describe your concern as precisely as possible and provide the support team with all the relevant information that you still have about your account.
Support will contact you promptly. However, please note that this may take a few days depending on your workload.
Save and keep your password
A secure password reliably protects your data. Many people use automatic recognition via Google or similar functions that remember passwords for them. However, this means that these services no longer remember the data when you log in via a new device or that anyone who uses the old device automatically has access to the account.
Alternatively, secure your account by writing down your passwords and keeping them in a safe place. Ideally, you should choose a password that is easy to remember and yet encrypted: for example, the sequence of the first letters of a mnemonic phrase. For example: IH2LMG! = I have two (2) favorite music genres!
