To log out of Spotify on all devices, use the sign-out-everywhere page on your Spotify account and confirm. The detail people trip over: Spotify says it doesn't cover partner devices such as speakers, consoles and TVs, which need remove access on the apps page.
You've lent your login to a friend, left Spotify open on a hotel TV, or just can't remember which of your five devices is still signed in. Whatever the reason, you want everything logged out at once, rather than hunting through every screen you've ever used.
Spotify has a single option for that, and one important exception that catches people out. Here's what Spotify's help pages say, from signing out of one device to clearing them all.
Logging out of Spotify on a single phone or tablet
Start with the simple case. If you only need to leave the device in your hand, Spotify's help gives this route for the mobile and tablet apps:
- Open the Spotify app.
- Tap your profile picture at the top.
- Tap Settings and privacy.
- Scroll right to the bottom of the settings list.
- Tap Log out.
Menus vary a little by app version, but the Log out button always sits at the very bottom of the settings screen, which is why people miss it.
Logging out of the Spotify desktop app and web player
On a computer it's quicker. In the desktop app or the web player, click your profile picture at the top and choose Log out. Spotify's help also lists a keyboard shortcut for the desktop app: Cmd+Shift+W on a Mac and Ctrl+Shift+W on Windows.
If you're signed in on the Spotify website itself, the route is the same. Click your profile picture at the top and choose Log out. It's worth doing this on any shared computer, such as a library machine or a hotel business centre, before you walk away.
Signing out of Spotify everywhere at once
This is the button you came for. Spotify's help says you go to the sign-out-everywhere page on your Spotify account and confirm. That signs you out of the mobile app, the tablet, the web player and the desktop app together.
- Log in to your account page in a web browser.
- Find the sign out everywhere option, which a search summary of Spotify's article places under Security and privacy.
- Confirm your choice.
- Open Spotify on your devices to check they've asked you to log in again.
Spotify's help doesn't say how long it takes to reach every device, so if one still seems signed in, open the app, close it and open it again, or log out of that one by hand using the steps above.
The catch: partner devices stay signed in on Spotify
Here's the exception. Spotify says sign out everywhere doesn't cover partner devices such as speakers, game consoles and TVs. Those connect differently, so they need their own clear-out.
For partner devices, Spotify's help says to open the apps page on your account and choose remove access for each one. This is the fix if your old smart TV or a friend's games console is still playing your music.
| Where you're signed in | How Spotify's help says to sign out |
|---|---|
| Phone or tablet app | Profile picture, Settings and privacy, Log out |
| Desktop app or web player | Profile picture, then Log out |
| Every app and web player at once | Sign out everywhere on your account page |
| Speakers, consoles and TVs | Remove access on the apps page of your account |
When logging out of Spotify everywhere is a good idea for small businesses
If you share a login across a team, or you've ever given a freelancer access to a brand account, signing everyone out is a sensible habit. Maybe a member of staff has left, or the shop's tablet has been replaced, or you simply want to reset who's listening on your music account.
Want AI doing the heavy lifting in your marketing?
I build the systems that handle the boring 80 percent, so you get your week back. Done properly, with the human kept in.
If music is part of how your business shows up, the lessons in Spotify's own marketing strategy and the ideas in how podcasts increase brand awareness are worth a look once your account is tidy. Security first, branding second: a clean list of signed-in devices makes a shared brand account much easier to manage.
Here's a short routine I'd suggest whenever people come and go from a team:
- Sign everyone out, then log in again on only the devices you trust.
- Remove access for any partner devices you don't recognise.
- Choose a new password if you suspect someone else knows it.
- Keep a note of which devices are meant to be signed in.
If Spotify still shows you as logged in somewhere
Work through this list:
- Close and reopen the Spotify app on that device, then check whether it asks for a login.
- Log out of that device by hand using the mobile or desktop steps above.
- Check the apps page of your account for partner devices and remove access.
- Log in again on your own devices and confirm everything works as expected.
If a device you don't recognise keeps coming back, change your password and contact Spotify's support pages, because they can look at your account in ways you can't from the app.
Frequently asked questions
How do I log out of Spotify on all devices?
Go to the sign-out-everywhere page on your Spotify account and confirm. Spotify says this signs you out of the mobile app, tablet, web player and desktop app together.
Does sign out everywhere log me out of my smart TV?
No. Spotify says it doesn't cover partner devices such as speakers, game consoles and TVs. Use remove access on the apps page of your account for those.
How do I log out of Spotify on my phone?
Tap your profile picture, then Settings and privacy, scroll to the bottom and tap Log out.
Is there a keyboard shortcut to log out of Spotify?
Spotify's help lists Cmd+Shift+W on a Mac and Ctrl+Shift+W on Windows for the desktop app.
Should I change my password too?
If you think someone else has your login, yes. Signing out everywhere clears the sessions, and a new password stops the same login being used again.
