Yes, you can change the email address on your Spotify account

You can update the email linked to your Spotify account at any time through your account settings. The process takes about two minutes and does not affect your playlists, saved songs, or listening history — everything stays with your account.

You will need to know your current password to make the change. If you have forgotten it, you can reset it before you change your email, or Spotify will prompt you to reset it during the email change process.

Key Takeaways

  • Log into your Spotify account on a web browser, go to Account settings, and select "Change email" to update your address.
  • You must enter your current password to confirm the change, even if you are already logged in.
  • Spotify sends a confirmation link to your new email address — you must click it within 24 hours or the change will not complete.
  • Your playlists, followers, and saved content remain on your account after you change your email.
  • If you forget your password, reset it first at spotify.com/forgot before attempting to change your email.

Steps to change your email on a computer

Go to spotify.com and log in with your current email and password. Once you are logged in, click your profile name in the top right corner and select "Account" from the dropdown menu.

On the Account page, look for the section labeled "Email" and click the "Change" button next to it. Enter your new email address in the field that appears, then enter your password again to confirm you own the account. Click "Change email" to proceed.

Spotify will send a confirmation email to your new address. Open that email and click the confirmation link inside it. You have 24 hours to confirm — if you do not click the link within that window, the change request expires and your email stays the same.

What happens if you do not confirm within 24 hours

If the confirmation link expires, your email address does not change. You will need to start the process over by going back to Account settings and requesting a new email change. Spotify does not automatically resend the confirmation email, so you must manually request it again.

Check your spam or promotions folder if you do not see the confirmation email in your inbox. Spotify's confirmation emails sometimes land there by mistake. If you still cannot find it after checking those folders, you can request a new confirmation email from the Account settings page by clicking "Change email" again.

Changing your email on the Spotify mobile app

The Spotify mobile app does not have a direct email change option built into its settings menu. You must use a web browser on a phone, tablet, or computer to change your email through spotify.com.

Open a web browser on your phone, go to spotify.com, log in with your current credentials, and follow the same steps listed above. The process works identically on mobile as it does on a desktop computer. Many users find it easier to use a computer for this task since the Account settings page displays more clearly on a larger screen.

What to do if you forgot your password

Go to spotify.com/forgot and enter the email address currently linked to your account. Spotify will send you a password reset link to that email. Click the link in that email, create a new password, and log back in with your email and the new password.

Once you have logged in with your new password, you can then proceed to change your email address using the Account settings method described above. This two-step process ensures your account remains find even if you have lost access to your password.

Your account information after the email change

Everything on your account stays exactly as it was. Your playlists, saved songs, followers, and listening history all remain on your account under your new email address. You do not lose access to any premium features if you have a paid subscription, and your subscription billing continues without interruption.

If you use Spotify Connect to play music across devices, that continues to work with your new email. If you have connected Spotify to other apps or services like Discord, Instagram, or third-party music platforms, those connections stay active as well. Your new email straightforward becomes the login address for your existing account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my email if I do not remember my password?

No, you need your current password to change your email. Go to spotify.com/forgot first to reset your password, then log in and change your email through Account settings.

What if I no longer have access to my old email address?

If your old email account is closed or you cannot access it, you cannot change your email through the normal process. Contact Spotify support through the help section on their website and explain the situation. They can help you regain access to your account.

Do I lose my playlists or followers when I change my email?

No. Your playlists, saved songs, followers, and all other account data stay with your account. The email change only updates the login address — nothing else changes.

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. Your new email becomes your login address right away. The entire process from start to finish usually takes less than five minutes.

Can I use the same email for two different 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 not allow it and will show you an error message.
