How to Change Your Spotify Username

While it's possible to change your username on other online social platforms, Spotify doesn't let you change it, especially if you already created an account. But, you do have some other options.

At the sign-up stage, Spotify lets you use your email address or your Facebook account. If you sign up with your email address, Spotify automatically generates a username in the form of random numbers and letters, which many users don't like.

If you choose to sign up using your Facebook account, however, Spotify will display your Facebook name.

Here's how to sign up for a new Spotify account using Facebook:

If you already have a Spotify account, you can connect it to Facebook and display your Facebook name and profile picture.

Spotify’s system maps playlists to accounts, which makes it hard to change your username. But, you can create a new account with a new username, then contact Spotify’s customer support team so they can transfer everything, including your playlists, to your new account. To do this, you need to first close your current Spotify account. If you have a subscription, you'll need to cancel that before closing the account.

Once that's done, create a new account with your new username. Please note that you cannot use a username twice, even if you closed the old account.

While you can't change your Spotify username, you can create a custom display name that replaces the username where it shows on your profile, app, playlists, and Friend Activity.
