Introduction
Spotify is an audio streaming service provider that offers access to various music releases from all over the world. To access the music streaming services, you must create a Spotify account. If you go a long time without accessing your account, you may forget your password. Losing your password means you no longer have the privilege of logging into your account and enjoying your favorite music. Fortunately, you can recover your account through a straightforward series of steps. Read on to learn them.
Open the Spotify Website
When attempting to recover your Spotify account, you must begin by opening the Spotify homepage. You can use any device you prefer, but in this case, we’ll use a web browser on a PC. Type “Spotify.com” on your web browser and click “Enter” on your keyboard.
Click “Log In”
In the next step, you must attempt to log into your account as usual by clicking the “Log In” button.
Click “Forgot Your Password”
Next, the platform opens the account login page. Scroll down and click “Forgot Your Password.”
Provide Your Username
The platform then prompts you to provide the email address linked to your account. Enter the email and click “Send Link.”
Click the “Reset Password” Link
Open your mailbox and open the Spotify email. Click the “Reset Password” button to continue the account recovery process.
Create a New Password
Clicking the “Reset Password” button opens a password reset page where you must create a new password. Spotify requires that you create a password containing at least ten characters, with one letter and one number or special character. Create your password in the “New Password” section, confirm it by re-writing it in the “Confirm New Password” section, and click “Change Password.”
Click “Start Listening”
Once you change your password, the platform informs you that your password has been successfully reset. Click “Start Listening” to automatically log into your account.
