How to change your password if logged in with Facebook?

Many people instead of entering tedious details about themselves just use the Signup with Facebook button, while creating their Spotify account. But when you use the Facebook option, you don’t get to set a password and anytime while signing back into Spotify will require you to use your Facebook account.

But how to set a new password when you logged in with Facebook while signing up for Spotify? Here’s how you can reset your password –

First, figure out which email is added to your Facebook account. To know the email added to your Facebook account, open Facebook and then go to your account settings and under the general account settings tab, you will see your primary email id listed as the contact. That’s the email id added to your Facebook account.

This is also the same email which is added to your Spotify account, assuming that you had the same email added to your Facebook account when you signed up for Spotify. Use this email and follow the steps above as we stated for changing the current password of your Spotify account. This method should work but sadly many users often report it to be not working but you should definitely give it a try. If you want to disconnect Facebook from Spotify, you can do it too.
