Are you having trouble logging into your account in the Spotify app? If so, your app may be faulty or your desktop or mobile device may be experiencing technical issues. There are a few ways to get around this problem, and we\u2019ll show you how.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the reasons you can\u2019t sign in to your account include not having an active internet connection, your app\u2019s cache files becoming corrupted, or using an incorrect account password. We\u2019ll show you how to deal with these things. <\/p>\n\n\n

1. <\/span>Check Your Internet Connection\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you can\u2019t log in to your account in Spotify, the first thing to check is if your internet connection is working. Spotify requires an active connection to validate your login details, and that can\u2019t happen if your device isn\u2019t connected to the internet.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can check your connection\u2019s status by launching a web browser on your device and opening a site like Google<\/a>. If the site loads, your internet connection is working just fine.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case your site fails to load, your internet connection has a problem. You can try to fix your connection or ask your provider for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. <\/span>Check if Spotify Is Down\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like all other online services, Spotify can go down from time to time. When that happens, you can\u2019t access the platform\u2019s various services<\/a>, including logging in to your account.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company actually has a Twitter account called Spotify Status<\/a> to let the users know if the app is experiencing any issues. You can access that account and check if the platform is indeed down.
<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Check<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

If that\u2019s the case, you\u2019ll have to wait until the company fixes the issues and brings all its services back up.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. <\/span>Restart Your Desktop or Mobile\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your desktop or mobile phone\u2019s minor issues can cause your installed apps to malfunction. Your Spotify login issue may have resulted from your device\u2019s faulty behavior.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that case, you can give your device a reboot and see if that fixes the issue. You can resolve most minor problems by simply turning your devices off and back on.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restart a Windows PC\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Open Start<\/span> and select the Power<\/span> icon.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Choose Restart<\/span> in the menu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"Restart<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    Restart an iPhone\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Press and hold down either Volume Up<\/span> + Side<\/span> or Volume Down<\/span> + Side<\/span> buttons on your iPhone.
      <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Drag the slider to turn your phone off.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
      \n
      \"Restart<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Turn your phone back on by pressing and holding down the Side<\/span> button.
        <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Restart an Android Phone\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Press and hold down the Power<\/span> button until the power menu opens.
          <\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Choose Restart<\/span> in the menu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n
          \"Restart<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

          When your device restarts, try logging into the Spotify<\/span> app.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          4. <\/span>Reset Your Spotify Password\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          One reason you can\u2019t log in to your Spotify account is that your password is incorrect. You may have typos in your password, or you may be using an old password to sign in to your account.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          In this case, you can reset your password and then use the new password to log in to your account. Here\u2019s how you can do that on the web:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Launch your preferred web browser, open the Spotify<\/a> site, and select Log in<\/span> in the top-right corner.
            <\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Choose Forgot your password?<\/span> on the login page.
            <\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Select the Email address or username<\/span> field and type your Spotify email address or username. Then, confirm the captcha and select Send<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
            \n
            \"Reset<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Open your email account\u2019s inbox, access Spotify\u2019s latest email, and select the Reset password<\/span> link in the email.
              <\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Choose the New password<\/span> field and type the new password to use with your Spotify account. Enter the same password in the Repeat new password<\/span> field. Then, confirm the captcha and select Send<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
              \n
              \"Reset<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Open Spotify<\/span> on your desktop or mobile and sign in to your account with the newly created password.
                <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                5. <\/span>Clear Your Spotify App Cache\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                Spotify uses cache files to improve your experience when you\u2019re using the app. These files may have become corrupt, causing you sign-in problems. Luckily, you can fix the issue by deleting your Spotify cache.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Doing that doesn\u2019t delete any data associated with your account. Your playlists and other items in Spotify remain intact. Note that you can only clear Spotify\u2019s cache on an Android phone. You must uninstall and reinstall the app on your Windows PC or Apple iPhone to delete the app cache.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Launch Settings<\/span> on your Android phone.
                  <\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Select Apps & notifications<\/span> > Spotify<\/span> in Settings.
                  <\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. Choose Storage & cache<\/span>.
                  <\/li>\n\n\n\n
                4. Tap Clear cache<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                  \n
                  \"Clear<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                    \n
                  1. Launch the Spotify<\/span> app.
                    <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    6. <\/span>Update the Spotify App on Your Devices\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                    An outdated Spotify app version can cause many problems, including login issues. You can resolve most of these issues by updating the app to the latest version on your devices.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    You can update Spotify on your Android phone<\/a> or iPhone by visiting the respective app store. On Windows, you can manually download and install the latest app version to update your app. Check out Spotify\u2019s uninstall and reinstall method below to learn how to do that.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Update Spotify on iPhone\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    1. Open App Store<\/span> on your iPhone.
                      <\/li>\n\n\n\n

                      <\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    3. Choose Update<\/span> next to Spotify<\/span> on the app list.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                      \n
                      \"Update<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

                      Update Spotify on Android\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                        \n
                      1. Launch Google Play Store<\/span> on your phone.
                        <\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      2. Search for and tap Spotify<\/span>.
                        <\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      3. Select Update<\/span> to update the app.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

                        7. <\/span>Disconnect Third-Party Apps From Your Spotify Account\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                        Spotify allows you to share your account access with third-party apps<\/a> and services. It\u2019s worth delinking those apps from your account when you\u2019re experiencing login problems. You can revoke your account access for those services by logging in to the Spotify website.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \n
                        1. Launch your preferred web browser and access Spotify\u2019s Manage Apps<\/a> page.
                          <\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        2. Choose Remove Access<\/span> next to all the services you\u2019ve linked to your account.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                          \n
                          \"Disconnect<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                            \n
                          1. Open the Spotify<\/span> app on your device and try to log in to your account.
                            <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                            8. <\/span>Uninstall and Reinstall Spotify on Your Devices\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                            If you continue to face the log-in issue, Spotify\u2019s app files might be problematic. You can\u2019t fix these files yourself, so you\u2019ll have to rely on the uninstall and reinstall method to resolve your problem.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            You can get rid of your current Spotify installation from your device, and then reinstall a fresh version of the app on your device. This will resolve all your app file-related issues on your desktop or mobile.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Reinstall Spotify on a Windows PC\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
