Change email and password after Spotify hack

If your current username and password are easy to guess, hackers can get into your Spotify account and make changes. These changes may not be obvious unless you can no longer log into your account. Here are some signs that someone has hacked your Spotify account:

• Playlists no longer appear.
• Spotify starts playing music randomly.
• The “Recently Played” list has songs that you didn’t add.
• Spotify has notified you about illegal activity on your account.
• You can’t sign in to Spotify on any device.
• Your subscriptions look different and you haven’t made any changes to them.
• Unknown social media accounts are now linked to your Spotify account.
• You can no longer log in, but you can remember your username and password.

If you have noticed any of the signs above, change your password and email address immediately. Please call customer service if you are unable to log in or reset your password. If you can open your account, go to “Settings”, “Account Overview” and check if the hacker has changed your email address and other personal data. If that is the case, please contact customer service for immediate assistance.

How Changing Your Spotify Email Could Affect Your Account

Immediately after changing your email address, you will be able to use Spotify normally. The platform will retain your subscription plan even if you have added a new email. Even if you sign in through Facebook, you’ll still use it as usual. A problem could arise if you get your premium subscription service through a third party like iTunes. You should check with iTunes or any other third party you use to purchase subscriptions.
