On a computer, open your Spotify account page, go to Edit personal info, type the new address under Email, confirm your password and click Save profile. In the app, tap your profile picture, then Settings and privacy, then Account, and tap your email to edit it.
Short answer first, then the bits that can catch you out. Everything here follows Spotify's own help article on changing your email address, as of Nov 2026.
The five clicks on the web
Spotify says you can change your email address on your account page. Here's the whole job:
- Open your Spotify account page in a browser and sign in.
- Go to Edit personal info.
- Under Email, enter your new email address.
- Confirm your password.
- Click Save profile.
That's it. Five clicks, and the password step is the only one that stops people. If you can't remember your password, you'll need to reset it before you can save the new email, and Spotify has a separate help article on how to reset or change your password.
The taps in the Spotify app
You can also do it from the app, which is handy if you're never on a laptop:
- Tap your profile picture at the top.
- Tap Settings and privacy.
- Tap Account.
- Tap your email to edit it.
I'd still use the web route if you've got the choice. It's easier to spot a typo in a full-size field, and a typo here is the one mistake that'll lock you out of your own account.
Before you change it: three quick checks
These aren't on Spotify's change-email page, but they'll save you a headache.
- Check you can open the new inbox. Make sure the new address is one you can log into today, not an old work account you're about to lose.
- Have your password ready. The web route asks you to confirm it, so reset it first if you're not sure.
- Know how you log in. If you sign in with Facebook, Apple, Google or Samsung rather than an email and password, read Spotify's articles on login methods first.
What can break: login and linked apps
Here's the honest part. Spotify's change-email article covers the steps and nothing else. It doesn't say whether you'll be signed out of other devices, whether connected apps need relinking, or whether the new address needs verifying before you can use it to log in. What it does do is point you to related articles, and the list is telling: Spotify login methods, Logging in to Spotify with Facebook, Can't log in to Spotify, and How to reset or change your Spotify password.
Spotify's help centre also has separate articles on changing how you log into Spotify and on verifying your email address. My reading: if you log in with a social account, your email isn't the key to your login in the same way, so read the login methods article before you change anything. If you log in with an email and password, use the new address next time you sign in on each device.
Linked apps are the other loose end. Spotify connects to plenty of other services, and its help centre has a section on unlinking Spotify from third-party creators. Changing your email shouldn't change which apps are connected, but if something stops working after the change, reconnecting it's the first thing to try.

After the switch: watch for emails you didn't expect
Once your new address is live, it's the one Spotify will use to reach you, so it's worth knowing which messages are real. Spotify's help centre has an article called Is this Spotify email legit? and a separate one on how to protect your Spotify account. Read them before you click anything in an email that claims your account needs attention. Changing an email is exactly the kind of moment scammers like to copy, because people expect a confirmation message and don't look twice at it.
If the email changed and you didn't do it
This is the one to take seriously. Spotify's article says that if you think your email address changed without your permission, you should see its article called Think your account's been hacked? Don't just change it back and move on. Follow that article, change your password, and check your payment details, because someone who can change your email can usually do a lot more.
Once your account's sorted, you might enjoy my guide on finding your Spotify Wrapped, which arrives in that same account. And if you're an artist rather than a listener, my explainer on how Spotify pays per stream is worth a read.
My verdict: changing your Spotify email is a two-minute job on the web. Do it on a computer, double-check the spelling, keep your password handy, and if you log in with Facebook, Apple or Google, read the login methods article first.
