There are times when Spotify won’t let you log in to your account, although you’re using a valid username and password. Such unexpected events are quite confusing, especially if the app suddenly locks you out. There are a few methods that you can use to fix this issue on Android, and we’ll list them below.

Why Can’t I Log in to Spotify with Correct Password?

Check Your Login Details

First things first, ensure you’re using the right login screen. If you created your Spotify account using your Facebook or Apple account, tap “Log in with Facebook” or “Log in with Apple“. On the other hand, if you created your account the standard way using a stand-alone username and password, then tap “Login.”

If you move abroad, you need to go to your profile page and change your country settings. If you’re trying to connect from a different country, you may occasionally experience various login problems. So, you can either log in to Spotify from the country you originally signed up in or simply update your country settings. If you can’t edit your settings, contact Spotify support.

Reset Your Password

By the way, if you signed up with Facebook but you deactivated your account, you need to reset your Spotify password. Use the password reset form, enter the email address associated with your FB account and follow the on-screen steps to create a new password for your Spotify account.

By the way, if you’re getting a message that says your password reset link is not valid or already used, open the reset link in Incognito Mode.

Update the App

Make sure you’re running the latest Spotify version on your Android device. Launch the Play Store app, search for Spotify, and hit the Update button to update the app. Restart your device and check if you can log in now.

Clear the Cache

As junk files pile up on your device, they may sometimes prevent you from logging in to Spotify. Clear the cache and check if this solution does the trick for you.

Go to Settings, select Apps, go to All Apps and select Spotify. Then hit the Storage option, and tap the Clear cache button.

Then go to Settings, select Storage, and clear all the junk files from your device.

Reinstall Spotify

If the problem persists, uninstall Spotify and restart your device again. Then go back to Play Store and reinstall the app. If the app itself got corrupted, reinstalling it should fix the login problem.

Remove Third-Party App Access

If you linked Spotify to other apps, navigate to your Apps page, and tap the Remove access button. Or go to App Settings, select Connect to Apps and disconnect Spotify from third-party apps.

Check if removing third-party app access fixed the problem.

Conclusion

If you can’t log in to your Spotify account although you’re using the correct username and password, reset your password and update the app. Additionally, clear the app cache and remove third-party app access to Spotify. If the issue persists, reinstall the app. Are you still experiencing login issues on Spotify? Let us know in the comments below.

  26. I have a problem with my iPad 4, can’t log in.
    December 27, 2021 Spotify send me an e-mail about logging in in strange places. I logged off all devices, changed my password and now I cannot log in to my old iPad 4. Everything works fine on the iPad 5 mini.
    Spotify has excluded old devices, I can’t even log in via a browser (it’s unsupported). I suspect that I received the e-mail on purpose, there were no logins to my account. Typical aging of the product.

  27. I have Spotify account and it works on all other Apple products we have except my iPhone 8. I use my proper user name and password however it comes up wrong information. I have tried with facebook, apple and google but nothing works. It will not let me go to my profile. I have removed and reloaded with no effect. I do not know what to to now. Frustrating

  28. I was trying to login after getting stonewalled a few times using an Iphone 11 Pro Max ios 14.7.1 (mobile data)

    Changed up my password and still no joy. The error message it gave after denying login was ‘Something when wrong. Try Again’ Super helpful feedback :-I

    I then logged in using a computer and deleted third party access. This fixed the problem instantly.

    Cheers

  30. I’ve tried all of the solutions but nothing worked. I can’t login to my account neither with Facebook and with e-mail.

  31. Hello,

    I was having the issue that showed I was offline. I logged out and upon attempting to log back in I received a “unknown error occurred” message. I can log in on the web player and Safari, so I know my credentials are correct. I have deleted the app, reinstalled and also switched my device on and off – still having the same issue.

    I have emailed Spotify but they have not responded… I really want my music back so any tips would be greatly appreciated!

  52. I have done everything as told and it doesn’t work. Who can we contact for real help with this issue???

    No updates available either based on the Xbox store info.
