Even if you use Spotify on a daily basis, you probably don’t know your username by heart — and no, your Spotify display name isn’t the same as your username. However, if you ever need to change your Spotify password or account information, you should know this! So, how do you find your Spotify username?
When you create your account, Spotify generates a series of random numbers and letters for your unique username. That said, it’s not always easy to find, especially if you’re signed in with a Facebook, Apple, or Google account. Let’s discuss how to actually identify your username on Spotify.
