How do I change my Pandora password?

Published in Pandora Account Management 3 mins read

To change your Pandora password, especially if you've forgotten it or are unable to sign in, you'll typically use the "Forgot Password" feature. This process allows you to reset your password and regain access to your account quickly.

Changing Your Pandora Password When You Can't Sign In

If you've forgotten your current password or are experiencing login issues, Pandora provides a straightforward way to reset it through the app or website. This method is the primary way to "change" your password when you don't have access to your account.

Step-by-Step Password Reset Guide

Follow these simple steps to reset your Pandora password:

  1. Open the Pandora App: Start by launching the Pandora application on your mobile device. If you're on a computer, navigate to the Pandora website.
  2. Locate the Forgot Password Link: On the sign-in screen, look for the Forgot Password link. This is usually located just below the sign-in fields, prompting you to click it if you can't remember your credentials.
  3. Enter Your Account Email: You will be prompted to enter the email address that is associated with your Pandora account. Ensure you type the correct email to receive the password reset instructions.
  4. Follow Email Instructions: After entering your email, Pandora will send a password-reset email to that address. Open this email and follow the instructions provided to create a new password.

Important Considerations for Password Reset

Ensuring you use the correct email address is crucial for the password reset process. If you don't have access to the email linked to your account, you may need to contact Pandora support directly.

What if the Password Reset Email Doesn't Arrive?

If you've initiated the password reset but haven't received the email, consider these troubleshooting steps:

  • Check Spam/Junk Folder: The email might have been filtered into your spam or junk folder.
  • Verify Email Address: Double-check that you entered the correct email address associated with your Pandora account.
  • Wait a Few Minutes: Sometimes, there can be a slight delay in email delivery.
  • Contact Pandora Support: If you've tried all the above and still haven't received the email, reaching out to Pandora's Help Center for direct assistance is recommended.

Creating a Strong New Password

When you reset your password, it's an excellent opportunity to create a new, strong password to enhance your account security.

  • Length Matters: Aim for a password that is at least 12-16 characters long.
  • Mix It Up: Use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
  • Make It Unique: Avoid using passwords you've used for other online accounts.
  • Consider a Password Manager: A password manager can help you generate and securely store complex, unique passwords for all your online services.
