How to Find Your Spotify Username on Desktop/Mobile

Hi everyone, since last night I've been trying to find my Spotify username to log into my account for well over half an hour of not finding any helpful information on the support website or any other website.

Spotify is an awesome music streaming platform, but sometimes it takes too much control over user profiles. If a user comes across Error Code 3 issue and needs a username to log in, it's always hard to find it.

But in the following parts, I'm going to show you how to find your Spotify username and make your Spotify listening experience a lot better.

Part 1. What Is Your Username on Spotify?

#1. What Is Spotify Username?

Your username is designed to identify you on Spotify. If you can't use your email address and password or the method you used to sign up e.g. Facebook, Apple or your phone number to log in to Spotify, you can choose to use your username to log in, as long as you remember the password.

#2. Can I Change My Username on Spotify?

Technically you can't change your Spotify username for reasons. But if you're referring to the name every time you see on your Spotify home page, that's your display name. You can feel free to check another post to see how to change your display name on your devices.
