Your SoundCloud account is home to your playlists, tracks, and personal connections—so keeping it secure is essential. One of the simplest yet most effective ways to protect your account is by updating your password regularly. Whether you’ve forgotten it, suspect unauthorized access, or just want stronger security, changing your SoundCloud password only takes a few minutes. In this guide, we’ll walk you step by step through the process of resetting or updating your password, so your account stays safe and accessible only to you.
Change SoundCloud Password
If you’re already logged into your account and need to change your password, simply follow these steps:
1. On the SoundCloud homepage, click on the three-dot icon at the top right corner of the screen. Next, select Settings from the menu.
2. You will automatically land on the Account tab. From there, tap on Send password reset link, which will be clearly visible on the screen.
After this step, an email will be sent to the address linked to your SoundCloud account. If you signed up using Facebook, the reset link will go to the email address connected with your Facebook profile.
3. Open your email inbox and look for a message from SoundCloud with the subject line “Request to Change [username] SoundCloud Password.” Open the email and click on the link that says “Click here to change your password.”
Tip: If you don’t see the email, be sure to check your Spam or Junk folder.
4. You will now be redirected to the Change Password page. Enter your new password, then confirm it by typing it again in the confirmation field. Once finished, click Save to update your password.
You can also tick the box labeled “Also sign me out of everywhere” if you’d like to log out of SoundCloud on all devices.
That’s it! You’ve successfully changed your SoundCloud password, and you can now log in to your account using the new credentials.
Reset SoundCloud Password
If you’re logged out of your account and can’t remember your password, you can reset it either from your computer or through the SoundCloud mobile app.
On Computer
1. Open any browser and go to the SoundCloud Forgot Password page.
2. Enter the email address registered with your SoundCloud account, then click Request a password reset.
(Tip: You can also enter your SoundCloud profile URL instead of your email, but the reset link will still be sent to your registered email address.)
Once you submit your request, an email will be sent to your registered address containing the password reset link. This process works the same way as the method for changing your SoundCloud password, so you can follow the same steps from there.
On Mobile App (Android and iOS)
1. Open the SoundCloud app on your Android or iOS device.
2. On the login page, tap Forgot Your Password?
2. Next, enter your email address or the profile URL to receive a link for changing your password. Then, tap on Send.
3. Now, go to your email account and tap on the password reset link sent by SoundCloud.
4. Next, enter your new password and confirm it. Finally, tap on Save to change your password.
Now your password has been reset, and you can log in to your SoundCloud account with your new credentials. As you can see, resetting or changing your SoundCloud password is a simple process.
However, you may sometimes encounter issues during the process. One common problem is not receiving the reset password email. Here’s how to handle it:
Didn’t Receive the SoundCloud Password Reset Email?
1. After requesting the reset link, wait at least 5–10 minutes, as delivery can sometimes be delayed.
2. Check your Spam or Junk folder to see if the email landed there instead of your inbox.
3. Try searching for the email with the subject line “Reset your SoundCloud password” in case it’s buried in your mailbox.
4. If you still can’t find it, submit the reset request again. In most cases, the email arrives after one or two attempts.
Conclusion
Changing your SoundCloud password is a quick and effective way to safeguard your music, personal data, and creative work. By following the steps outlined above, you can ensure that your account remains secure and under your control. For even stronger protection, consider using a password manager to generate and store unique, hard-to-guess passwords. A few minutes of effort today can give you long-term peace of mind while you focus on what really matters—sharing and enjoying music on SoundCloud.
