-
- The first thing that you have to do is to open a web browser on your Android device. Feel free to use the default web browser or the likes of Google Chrome, Firefox, or a different web browser.
- When it opens, it is time for you to go to the account page of Spotify at https://accounts.spotify.com.
- When you are there, you will have to log in to your Spotify account with the email address and the password that are associated with your Spotify account. For those who signed up through Facebook, it will be needed for you to tap the blue button that says “Log In with Facebook” instead.
- Once you have successfully logged in to your Spotify account, the next thing that you have to do is to tap Account Settings. This one is able to be found below your profile image when you log in through Facebook. By tapping it, you will be taken to the Spotify web page.
