Yes, you can change your Spotify email in account settings

You can change the email address linked to your Spotify account at any time. The process takes a few minutes and does not affect your playlists, saved songs, or listening history — everything stays with your account. You will need your current password to make the change, and Spotify will send a confirmation email to your new address before the switch is complete.

The steps are the same whether you use Spotify Free or Premium, and whether you signed up with an email or through Facebook, Apple, or Google. If you signed up through a social platform, you can still add an email address to your account and use that to log in instead.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your Spotify email by going to Account settings on the web, finding the email field, and entering your new address.
  • Spotify sends a confirmation link to your new email — you must click it within 24 hours or the change will not go through.
  • Your password, playlists, followers, and saved music all stay the same when you change your email.
  • If you signed up through Facebook, Apple, or Google, you can add an email address to your account so you have a backup way to log in.

Steps to change your email on the web

Go to www.spotify.com and log in with your current email and password. Click your profile name in the top right corner and select Account from the dropdown menu.

On the Account page, find the Email field under your profile information. Click Change next to your current email address. Type your new email in the box that appears, then enter your Spotify password to confirm. Click Change email to send the confirmation email.

Check the inbox of your new email address for a message from Spotify. Open the email and click the confirmation link inside. The link is active for 24 hours. Once you click it, your account email is updated and you can log in using the new address.

What happens if you miss the confirmation important date

If you do not click the confirmation link within 24 hours, the email change request expires and your account reverts to your old email. You will need to start the process again from Account settings.

If the confirmation email does not arrive, check your spam or junk folder — sometimes email filters catch it. If it is not there, go back to Account settings and request a new confirmation email. You can request a new one as many times as you need.

Changing email if you signed up through Facebook, Apple, or Google

If you created your Spotify account by signing in with Facebook, Apple ID, or Google, you do not have an email address on file yet. You can add one so you have another way to log in. Go to Account settings and look for the Email field. Click Add email address and follow the same confirmation process.

Once you add an email, you can log in using either that email or your social account. Adding an email does not disconnect your social login — both methods will work. This is useful if you ever want to stop using the social platform to sign in, or if you lose access to that account.

What to do if you no longer have access to your old email

If you cannot log in because you no longer have access to the email address on your account, go to www.spotify.com/login and click Can't log in? at the bottom. Enter the email address you are trying to recover, and Spotify will send a password reset link to that address.

If you cannot access that email inbox, you will need to contact Spotify Support directly. Go to www.spotify.com/support, click Contact Us, and describe your situation. Spotify can verify your identity through other information on your account and help you regain access. This process usually takes a few business days.

How your account information stays the same after an email change

Changing your email does not touch anything else on your account. Your playlists, liked songs, followers, and following list all remain exactly as they were. Your account history, recommendations, and personalized features continue to work the same way. Your Premium subscription, if you have one, stays active and keeps charging to the same payment method.

The only thing that changes is the email address you use to log in. If you have shared your old email with friends or family for Spotify purposes, let them know your new email so they can find you if they search for you in the app.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the same email for two Spotify accounts?

No. Each Spotify account must have a unique email address. If you try to change your email to one that is already linked to another account, Spotify will reject the change. You would need to delete the other account first, or use a different email address.

Do I need to change my password when I change my email?

No. Your password stays the same. You log in with your new email and the same password you used before. If you want to change your password at the same time, you can do that separately in Account settings under Password.

Will my Spotify friends see my new email?

Your email address is not visible to other Spotify users. Friends can only see your display name and profile picture. Changing your email does not change how you appear to other people on the platform.

How long does it take for the email change to go through?

Once you click the confirmation link in the email Spotify sends you, the change is when ready. You can log in with your new email right away. The entire process from start to finish usually takes less than five minutes.
