Can't change email?

Can't change email?

I signed up for Spotify a while ago, and currently do not have Premium. I tried to update my email address in "edit profile" but every time I hit save I get a red box pop up saying "Sorry, wrong password", even though I didn't touch the "confirm password" box. The same thing happened even when I did enter the correct password just in case.

Thanks!

I'm having the same issue. But I wonder whether it is because I have also just changed my password? I changed my password first. But I have also logged out / in again (with the new password) and copied the password from KeePass, so I'm pretty darn sure it is the correct/current password.

Thank you for replying- I am switching to another gmail account and my user is xialin830. As far as I know switching browsers does not help.

I believe I originally logged in with Facebook as well. I think that may be in common with all of us.

I am trying to change my email from a custom domain to another. I am using chrome as my browser, windows 8.1, and I'm in the United States.

 

my username is: JonIndie.

Hello,

 

I wanted to change my email but it alway said my password is incorrect.

I already tried to change my password and to reset it but it always said wrong password.

I carefully checked it when i was typing my password but it said it's wrong.

I'm trying to change my e-mail to @gmail.com, I'm located in Finland and switching browsers doesn't help. My username is ktru.

Ny username is miamariihagen, my current email on the spotify account is -snip-@Hotmail.com.. I want to change it to -snip-@Gmail.com.. I'm located in Norway. Then I can use my prepaid premium. Hope u can help me.

To everyone with this issue, just got a reply back from Spotify Support and got my email changed. Just contact them through this link: Contact Spotify Support.

Request to change your email this way as changing it through "edit my profile" currently does not work.

 

Hope this helps!

I succeeded in getting the e mail changed through Spotify support.  But you will need to provide your birthdate & zip code for them to complete the change.  That's what they asked me to do.

Hey everyone,

 

Welcome to the Community.

 

Can you try to clear cache and use a different browser to try again here? This should help.

 

Let us know how you get on.

 

Thanks!
