Change iTunes password - how it works

If you want to change your password on iTunes, you also have to change the password for your Apple ID - because you are now signed in to iTunes. In our instructions, we show which options you have to change your password.

Change iTunes password

Sign in to iTunes with your Apple ID. If you want to change the password, you have to set a new password for the Apple ID.

1. To do this, start iTunes on your computer and log in with your Apple ID.
2. In the menu, click on "Show my account" under "Account".
3. Here you can now view and change your account data. At the top, next to the "Apple ID" item, you can see the email address with which you are logged in.
4. If you click on the "Edit on appleid.apple.com" link behind, you will be redirected to the Apple website. Here you can now set a new password for your Apple ID.

Change password for iTunes on iPhone and iPad

You can also change the password for your Apple ID and thus for iTunes at the same time from your iPhone or iPad.

1. To do this, open the settings on your iOS device and select the item "iTunes & AppStore" and then at the top of the e-mail address with which you are logged in to Apple.
2. Next you need to enter your password. If you click on the top item "Apple ID", you will also be redirected to the Apple website.
3. Here, click on "Forgot Apple ID or password" to set a new password.
4. Important: This not only changes your password for iTunes, but for all areas with which you log in with your Apple ID. You must also use the new password to log in to the AppStore.
