How to Reset SoundCloud Password When You Forget It

If music is your life, there's a good chance that you use various music streaming and sharing services. A few of the most popular ones include Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Pandora, and, of course, SoundCloud. The latter one is considered to be the best one for indie music creators and listeners. It is completely free, and it offers an impressive range of music and podcasts for you to listen to. Although you do not need to create an account to use SoundCloud, you need it if you want to save your favorite songs or podcasts, create lists, and share your own content. It's all sunshine and rainbows until you accidentally forget SoundCloud password. Whether that's because you misplaced the piece of paper that you had the password written down on, because you hadn't used the service in a long time, or because you recently changed the password and simply forgot it, there are ways to fix the issue. In this blog post, we discuss how to reset SoundCloud password and get back to enjoying your favorite music and podcasts again.

How to reset SoundCloud password

You open your SoundCloud app or the website on your Desktop computer and you are asked to sign in. You try to enter the password you think is correct, but you are denied access to your account. This is about when you might start panicking, but that is the last thing you should do because, most likely, you can reset your SoundCloud password without any trouble at all.

How to reset SoundCloud password on Android/iPhone

  1. Tap the app to open and then tap "Sign in".
  2. Tap "Forgot your password?"
  3. Enter your email address and tap "Send" to receive a password reset email.
  4. Open the email, tap the "link", and reset the password.

How to reset SoundCloud password via a web browser

  1. Open the browser and visit soundcloud.com.
  2. Click "Sign in" and then "Need help?"
  3. Click "I don't know my password".
  4. Enter your email address and click "Request a password reset".
  5. Open the email, tap the link, and reset the password.

If you do not receive the email to complete the password reset, be sure to check your Spam/Junk folder, and wait a couple of minutes before you repeat the process again. Also, note that if you do not remember the email address you used when signing up, you can regain access using your profile URL. It looks something like this: http://soundcloud.com/soundcloudfan001. If you do not remember the password, the email, or the profile name, you are in a predicament. If all fails, and you simply cannot recover your SoundCloud password and regain access to your account, your last option is to contact SoundCloud.

How to manage your SoundCloud password in the future

This is an incredibly important topic to discuss. Hopefully, you have received a SoundCloud password reset link, and you can regain access to your account soon. Don't rush this process because you want to take the right steps. First and foremost, you need to think of the new password that you will be setting up. Don't take the easy route of creating a password that is easy to remember, such as password or password1. We have a list of worst passwords you could use, and any variations of those shouldn't be used either. The new SoundCloud password you create should be long, strong, contain random characters, and be impossible to guess. An example of a strong password is 6!p#8|&phJ9@?!2_^:. Obviously, a password like this is impossible to remember, and so you need to keep it somewhere safe. Don't write it down on a post-it note. Don't save it in a file on your computer or phone. These methods of password management – if you can even call it that – are not safe because post-it notes can be lost, and files on your computer or phone could be breached and leaked by hackers.

What you need to do is to install a reliable password manager. Cyclonis Password Manager is a great tool that offers free services and is available across different platforms. Once you set up your profile and download the browser extension, your saved passwords are synced with Cyclonis, or you can create accounts and profiles yourself. Once your SoundCloud password is saved, it is encrypted, and no one can access it. To open the password manager, you also need a master password, which, if you use the tool, is the only password you actually need to remember. The browser extension works together with the application, and your SoundCloud password is automatically filled into the sign-in form whenever you want to access SoundCloud. That means that you don't need to manually enter or copy-paste complicated passwords. Of course, it is most important that the tool is not only convenient but also safe. Therefore, by installing Cyclonis, you not only guarantee that you can always access your accounts, but you also guarantee that your accounts are reliably protected with strong passwords.

And why would you need to create a strong SoundCloud password? Unless you are a music or podcast creator, you might think that there's nothing to protect. Sure, your name and profile name might be fake, and you might not share any personal information or content using SoundCloud, but if hackers take over and impersonate you, they could send messages with malicious links to your friends. Also, if you recycle your password – which means that you use the same one for several accounts – hackers could use the cracked password and email address to make their way into other, potentially more personal accounts. Surely, that is not what you want. That is why it is a must to protect all your accounts with strong, impenetrable passwords, and a reliable password manager is the perfect tool to create, manage, and store your passwords.
