Now imagine you're using Spotify and notice a song playing that you didn't pick, or playlists you never created. Maybe music switches between devices, or you spot devices in your account that you don't recognize. This can happen if someone else gained access to your account or if you left it logged in on a shared or public device.
Logging out of Spotify everywhere is a simple way to take back control. It protects your privacy, prevents unauthorized listening or playlist changes, and keeps your personal music, linked accounts, and payment information safe. It's also a good idea if you're using a work or school computer or just want to reset your sessions across all devices.
Look for warning signs like unexpected songs, unfamiliar playlists, or devices you don't recognize. Whether you need to log out on a single device for troubleshooting or on all devices at once, following the right steps will help keep your account secure.
- Deleting the app doesn't log you out. Your account stays signed in elsewhere.
- Clearing cache fixes glitches without logging out. Logging out just ends your session.
- Playlists and liked songs stay safe; you just can't access them until you log back in.
- Downloaded songs won't play while logged out, but the files remain.
- "Sign out everywhere" logs you out on all devices.
- Local music files you added aren't affected.
- Changing your password logs out most devices automatically.
Part 1: Log Out of Spotify on Desktop (PC & Mac)
Sometimes you just need to step away from Spotify on your computer. On Windows or Mac, open the app, click your profile picture in the top-right corner, and choose Log Out. This ends your session on that device, which is usually enough if you want to stop others from accessing your music, playlists, or personal information on shared computers at work, school, or libraries.
How to to Log Out of Spotify on Desktop:

Step 1 Open the Spotify desktop app on your PC or Mac and make sure you're signed in.
Step 2 Look at the top-right corner of the app and click your profile name or profile picture.
Step 3 From the dropdown menu, select Settings to open your account options.
Step 4 Scroll down through the settings page until you see the Log Out option at the bottom.
Step 5 Click Log Out to end your Spotify session on that computer.
Part 2: Log Out of Spotify on Mobile (iOS & Android)
Phones and tablets are convenient, but your account can stay signed in longer than you expect. If your device is shared with friends or family, this can become more than a small annoyance, so logging out is a smart choice. On iPhone or Android, tap your profile picture, go to Settings and Privacy, scroll down, and tap Log Out. I often log out to reset sessions, since this simple step can prevent bigger issues later.
How to to Log Out of Spotify on Mobile:

Step 1 Open the Spotify app on your iPhone, iPad, Android phone, or Android tablet.
Step 2 Tap the Home tab at the bottom of the screen to return to the main page.
Step 3 Tap your profile picture in the top-right corner to open the settings menu.
Step 4 Select Settings and Privacy, then scroll down toward the bottom of the page.
Step 5 Tap Log Out to sign out of Spotify on that mobile or tablet device.
Part 3: Log Out of Spotify Web Player
If you use Spotify in a browser like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, or Safari, you can log out by clicking your profile icon in the top-right corner and selecting Log Out. This ends the session in that browser and prevents others from using your account. Keep in mind that browser password managers may save your login details, which can make it seem like you're still signed in. On shared computers, closing the tab or using a private window helps avoid confusion.
How to to Log Out of Spotify Web Player:

Step 1 Open a web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari and go to open.spotify.com or spotify.com.
Step 2 Click your profile name in the top-right corner of the page.
Step 3 From the menu that appears, click Log Out to sign out of Spotify on that browser.
Part 4: Log Out of Spotify Everywhere (Common Devices)
You can log out of Spotify on devices you still have access to, but forgotten or hidden devices are harder to deal with. In that case, use the Sign Out Everywhere option in your account settings. Open a web browser, log in to Spotify, go to your Account page from your profile, scroll down, and click Sign Out Everywhere. This signs you out of the desktop app, mobile apps, and the web player at once, making it the fastest way to secure your account across all devices.
How to to Log Out of Spotify Everywhere:

Step 1 Open any web browser and go to spotify.com, then sign in if prompted.
Step 2 Click your profile name in the top-right corner and choose Account from the menu.
Step 3 On the Account Overview page (https://www.spotify.com/account), scroll down until you see Sign Out Everywhere under Security and privacy.
Step 4 Click Sign Out Everywhere to log out of Spotify on all linked devices, including mobile, tablet, web player, and desktop apps. Wait a few moments for the changes to take effect across your devices. For the Spotify Web Player, this may take up to one hour.
Part 5: Log Out of Spotify on a TV, Game Console, or Speaker (Partner Devices)
If you need to log out of partner devices linked to your account, such as smart TVs, game consoles, or speakers, manage them from your Spotify account. Go to the Apps page and remove access for any devices you no longer use or recognize.
How to to Log Out of Spotify on Partner Devices:
Step 1 Open a web browser and visit the Spotify Account page.
Step 2 Scroll down the Account page until you find the Manage Apps section.

Step 3 Look through the list of connected TVs, game consoles, or speakers.
Step 4 Click Remove Access next to the device you want to log out of.

Step 5 Confirm the action when prompted to disconnect the device from your Spotify account.
Part 6: Troubleshoot Spotify Log Out Everywhere (If Not Working)
Sometimes Sign Out Everywhere doesn't work right away. This can happen due to cache issues, device problems, or network delays. If that happens, try logging out on individual devices, clearing the app cache, or restarting the devices. Changing your Spotify password can also force most active sessions to sign out.
Method 1: Reset Spotify Passcode

Step 1 Open a web browser and visit the Spotify Password Reset page.
Step 2 Enter the credentials used to register your Spotify account (e.g., email address or username).
Step 3 Click "Send". Spotify will email you with your username and a link to reset your password.
Step 4 Check your email inbox and follow the instructions to confirm and reset your password.
Step 5 After resetting your password, log in to the Spotify app on any device using the new passcode.
Method 2: Use Spotify Connect
For Desktop & Web Player:
Step 1 Open the Spotify desktop app on your Windows or Mac computer.
Step 2 Start playing music and go to the Now Playing screen.
Step 3 If your desktop isn't currently playing Spotify content, a notification will appear stating it's "Listening on [another device's name]".
Step 4 Click the Connect device button next to the volume control.
Step 5 Under "Select another device", choose your desktop to resume playback.
For Mobile & Tablets:
Step 1 Open the Spotify app on your Android or iOS device.
Step 2 Start playing music and go to the Now Playing screen. Alternatively, navigate to Settings > Devices > Devices menu.
Step 3 If your mobile device isn't playing Spotify content, the Connect device button will display another device's name.
Step 4 Tap the Connect device button and select your mobile device to make it the current device for playback.
Pro Tip: How to Keep Listening to Spotify After Logging Out
Logging out is great for privacy and account security, but it also means downloaded songs won't play until you log back in. This can be inconvenient if you're traveling, switching devices, or dealing with account issues.
One practical workaround is to save your Spotify library directly to your device. For this, you can use ViWizard Spotify Music Converter, which helps save Spotify songs, podcasts, and audiobooks as standard audio files like MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, M4B, and AIFF. After converting and downloading your music to a computer, you can transfer and play it on different devices without needing to stay logged in. This is especially useful when moving between devices or when you want full access to your music without relying on an active Spotify session or a Premium subscription.
