Change Your Email in Account Settings

To change your Spotify email, log into your account on the Spotify website, go to Account, then select Edit Profile. You will see your current email address listed under "Email". Click the field, enter your new email, and select Save. Spotify will send a confirmation link to the new address — you must click that link within 24 hours to complete the change.

If you use Spotify on your phone or tablet, you cannot change your email through the app. You must use a web browser on a computer or mobile device. Go to spotify.com, sign in with your current credentials, and follow the same steps in Account settings.

The change takes effect when ready after you confirm the new email. Your old email will no longer work to sign in, so make sure you remember the new one or store it somewhere you can find it.

Key Takeaways

  • You must change your email through the Spotify website, not through the mobile app.
  • Spotify sends a confirmation link to your new email address, and you have 24 hours to click it or the change will not go through.
  • After confirmation, your old email stops working and only your new email can sign you in.
  • If you no longer have access to your old email, you will need to contact Spotify support to regain access to your account.

What Happens If You Forget to Confirm

If you do not click the confirmation link within 24 hours, the email change is cancelled and your account stays tied to your old email. You can try again by returning to Account settings and entering the new email address once more.

Spotify does not send a reminder email if you miss the window. If you realize you did not confirm after the 24 hours have passed, straightforward repeat the process from the beginning.

Changing Email When You No Longer Have Access to Your Old Email

If you cannot sign in because you no longer have access to the email address on your account, you cannot change it yourself through settings. Contact Spotify support through the Help page on their website. You will need to provide information that proves you own the account, such as your username, the email address currently on file, and details about your account history or payment method.

Spotify support can verify your identity and change the email for you, but the process takes longer than doing it yourself. Have your payment information or account details ready when you contact them.

Updating Email Across Connected Services

If you signed up for Spotify using Facebook, Google, or Apple ID, your Spotify email is tied to that service. Changing your Spotify email does not change the email on those accounts. You can still update your Spotify email separately by going to Account settings and following the same steps, even if you originally signed up through another service.

If you want to change which service your Spotify account is connected to, you will need to disconnect the current one and link a different account. This is done in Account settings under "Connected apps" or "Linked accounts", depending on your account type.

Email Change and Your Subscription

Changing your email does not affect your Spotify subscription, payment method, or saved playlists. Your music library, followers, and all account data remain the same. The only thing that changes is the email address you use to sign in.

If you have a family plan, changing your email only affects your own account within the plan. Other family members keep their own email addresses and accounts.

Troubleshooting a Stuck Email Change

If you entered a new email but the confirmation link never arrived, check your spam or junk folder first. Sometimes confirmation emails are filtered there by mistake. If it is not there, wait a few minutes — the email can take time to arrive.

If you still do not see the confirmation email after waiting, go back to Account settings and try entering the new email again. Spotify will send a fresh confirmation link. If the problem continues, contact Spotify support and describe what happened. They can resend the confirmation or change the email manually.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my email on the Spotify mobile app?

No. The mobile app does not have an option to change your email. You must use a web browser on any device and go to spotify.com, sign in, then go to Account and Edit Profile to change your email address.

How long does the email confirmation link stay active?

The confirmation link is valid for 24 hours. If you do not click it within that time, the change is cancelled and you must start over. Spotify does not send a reminder, so check your email right away after requesting the change.

What if I enter the wrong email by mistake?

If you realize you made a typo before clicking confirm, go back to Account settings and enter the correct email. If you already confirmed the wrong email, you will need to change it again using the new (incorrect) email address to sign in, or contact Spotify support for help.

Will changing my email log me out of Spotify on my devices?

No. Changing your email does not log you out of devices where you are already signed in. You will only need to use the new email if you sign out and sign back in later.
