To log in to Spotify with your Apple ID, open the Spotify login screen, choose Continue with Apple, and confirm with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode.
This guide covers the requirements, adding Apple to an existing Spotify account, finding the email Apple shared with Spotify, and fixing an Apple login that stops working.
How to log in to Spotify with Apple ID
Signing up or connecting with Apple lets you log in with Face ID, Touch ID or your Apple device passcode instead of a Spotify password.
- Open the Spotify app, or go to the Spotify login page in a browser.
- Select Continue with Apple.
- Confirm with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode.
- If Spotify asks, choose whether to share your real email or use Hide My Email.
- Wait for Spotify to open your library, which confirms you are signed in to the right account.
Spotify Sign in with Apple requirements
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Software | iOS 14 or later on iPhone or iPad |
| Apple ID security | Two-factor authentication turned on for the Apple ID |

How to link Spotify to Apple ID on an existing account
If you signed up with email, Google or Facebook, add Apple as an extra login method from your Spotify account page.
- Sign in to your Spotify account page in a browser.
- Go to Edit login methods.
- Select Add next to Apple.
- If an Edit button appears next to Available login methods, select it and verify yourself first.
- Confirm the Apple login details. Apple now appears under Current login methods.
If Spotify says the Apple ID is already connected, that Apple ID belongs to a different Spotify account. Sign in with Apple to reach that account instead.
Find the Apple email address shared with Spotify
If you chose Hide My Email at sign-up, Apple created a random relay address for Spotify. You need that address to reset a Spotify password.
- Open Settings on your iPhone and tap your name.
- Tap Sign in with Apple.
- Select Spotify in the list of apps.
- Note the email address shown as shared with Spotify.
- To see the address on a Mac, open System Settings, click your name, then click Sign in with Apple.
On the web, sign in to account.apple.com, open Sign-In & Security and select Sign in with Apple. Your Spotify email is also listed on your Spotify account page.
Create a Spotify password so you can log in without Apple
A Spotify password lets you sign in with email on devices that do not offer Apple login, such as some TVs or the Spotify app for Windows PC.
- Open the Spotify password reset form.
- Enter the email address shared with Spotify. If you hid your email, use the relay address Apple generated.
- Open the reset email from Spotify in your inbox.
- Set a new password and log in with your email and that password.
Check which login methods your Spotify account uses
- Sign in to your Spotify account page.
- Open Edit login methods.
- Read the Current login methods list. Apple should appear there.
- Keep at least one other method, such as email, so you can still sign in if the Apple login fails.

Why can't I log in to Spotify after September 2026

Forgot which email or Apple ID the account uses
Hide My Email gave Spotify a relay address you have never seen.

- Go to Spotify password reset and enter each address you own.
- Spotify only sends the reset email to an address registered on an account.
