How to reset your Pandora password without email

Can’t reset your Pandora password because you’ve forgotten or lost access to your email address?

If so, you have three (3) options:

Option #1 Contact Pandora support by filling in a form at help.pandora.com/s/contactsupport

  • On the support form, choose “Account and Password” under Topic. Under Subtopic, choose either “Don’t Remember Email” or “Inactive/Changed Email.”

  • Next, choose your device and then provide a brief description of your issue. On the next screen, scroll to see if your issue has been addressed in a community post or click “No, Contact Support.”

  • You’ll be asked to fill out another form, and this time, you’ll need to provide your contact email address and Pandora account email address (if different from your contact email). You can also attach a file if desired.

  • After you’ve finished filling out the form, tap the “Email Us” box.

  • On the next screen, you should see your case number (be sure to save this number in LastPass Secure Notes for easy retrieval). You should receive email correspondence from Pandora Support soon.

    Option #2 Reach out to Pandora via Facebook or Pandora Support on X.

    Option #3 Chat with a Pandora Support team member via live chat.

  • To access live chat, head to help.pandora.com/s/contactsupport and tap the live chat icon (smiley face with headphones) at the bottom right corner of your screen.

  • Try asking a question about password resets. After you receive an answer from the bot, you’ll be asked, "Did I answer your question?”

  • Choose “No, I need more help.”

  • The bot will ask, "Would you like to speak with our support team?”

  • Choose “Yes” and fill in the form. You’ll have to include an email where you can be contacted, your Pandora account email (if different from your contact email), and your device type.

  • Click “Submit.”

  • Wait to be connected to a Support agent. And that’s it!

Never get locked out again: Save yourself from Pandora account resets with LastPass

Once you’ve recovered access, there’s a better way to keep that access. It’s called LastPass, and here’s what it does for you:

  • Built-in password generator: No more struggling to create “complex” passwords. Our password generator does it for you. And once it’s done, you don’t even need to remember or type it. Our secure autofill does it for you or your team.

  • AES-256 encryption: Every credential and its associated URL in your vault is encrypted at rest and in transit. Plus, encryption & decryption happen on your device. LastPass itself never sees your plaintext data. Vault data is further protected with PBKDF2 key derivation using 600,000 iterations (the industry standard).

    At LastPass, the security of your data is our highest priority. LastPass has a dedicated TIME (Threat Intelligence, Mitigation, and Escalation) team. With nearly 50 years of combined experience, our researchers monitor active threats and work directly with LastPass engineering and security teams to protect your data.

    See how our new, purpose-built, highly secure infrastructure compares with 1Password. If you’re doing business today, learn how you can get regular key rotation and vault re-encryption to keep the vaults of your federated users safe. It’s like changing the locks periodically on your front door to ensure only you have access.

    Is your Pandora password saved in your browser?

    If so, that’s a risk.

    In September 2025, LastPass TIME researchers Alex Cox, Mike Kosak, and Stephanie Schneider identified and publicly disclosed an Atomic infostealer campaign targeting macOS users.

    Atomic and similar infostealers don't need your password.

    They harvest session cookies and browser-stored credentials directly from your device. If your Pandora login (or any other account) is saved in Chrome or Safari rather than an encrypted vault, a successful infostealer infection means an attacker can get access before you know anything is wrong.

    A dedicated vault keeps your credentials encrypted and out of the browser's reach. Try LastPass for free, no credit card needed.

     

  • Advanced multi-factor authentication: With LastPass, you get powerful MFA options. Unlock them today with a free trial of LastPass Premium (for individuals) or Business Max (for organizations).

No credit card is required for registration because we want you to see how much easier your life becomes when you stop relying on password resets to regain access. Whether you have a Pandora personal or business account, LastPass never stops working to ensure secure access for all your online accounts.

Will Pandora ever go passwordless?

Possibly. Passkeys, the authentication standard backed by Apple, Google, and Microsoft, are replacing passwords for a growing number of consumer apps.

Rather than a username and password, passkeys use a cryptographic key pair stored on your device. You authenticate with your face or fingerprint. There's nothing to steal, no resets to do, and no weak passwords to crack.

While Pandora hasn’t yet announced passkey support, the direction of the industry is clear. When apps you use do move to passkeys, LastPass stores them.

Your vault becomes the single place you manage both passwords and passkeys, so switching to passwordless on any app requires no change to how you access your login info.

 

I have been using LastPass for the last two and a half years, daily, and this is the most reliable password manager I have used to date... Over the last two and a half years of my experience, I have never seen LastPass being down or having any kind of issue while being implemented...In fact, in my organization, it is mandatory to use LastPass as it is the most secure and most trusted platform. We even use LastPass for generating passwords... (Avinash S, infrastructure support analyst and verified G2 reviewer)

FAQs: How to reset Pandora password 

Yes, you can play Pandora in your business. 

However, you can’t use a personal Pandora account for business. Personal accounts are designed for non-commercial use only. According to federal copyright law, you must obtain the proper licensing rights to play music in a commercial setting. 

To play Pandora in your business legally, you can use Pandora Business, which has partnered with licensed providers like Mood Media and Cloud Cover.

Did you accidentally transfer your Pandora subscription? This can happen if you and someone else have different Pandora accounts but use: 

  • The same Apple ID on your iOS devices, or 
  • The same Google Play account on your Android devices 

A subscription purchased with a particular Apple ID or Google Play account can only be applied to one Pandora account at a time 

To reactivate or restore your Pandora subscription on iOS: 

  • Open the Pandora app and go to your Profile. 
  • Tap on the Settings gear icon at the top right corner of your screen and select Upgrade. 
  • Next, select Retrieve Your Subscription. 
  • Enter your Apple ID password.  

To reactivate or restore your Pandora subscription on Android: 

  • Open the Pandora app and go to your Profile. 
  • Tap on the Settings gear icon at the top right corner of your screen and select Upgrade. 
  • Next, select Retrieve Your Subscription. 
  • Follow any additional prompts to confirm this action. 

To reset your Pandora for Business password, head to https://pandora.moodmedia.com/customer/account/forgotpassword/ 

Enter your email address to receive a password reset link.

LastPass centralizes credential management, so your admins can easily see which accounts are active across your workspace, enforce credential security policies, and revoke access when needed.  

For LastPass Business users, SaaS Monitoring can even surface apps employees are logging into that IT hasn’t approved.  

This visibility allows you to identify unmanaged access before it becomes a liability. If you’re a lean team, that can mean the difference between spending time on access requests or doing actual work. 

Pandora Business costs range from $16.95/month to $26.95/month, depending on your subscription tier, choice of provider, and billing frequency (monthly versus yearly). 

First, you have two Pandora-branded options if you’d like to get a Pandora Business account: 

At Mood Media, a Pandora Business subscription is currently $23.96/month on a yearly payment plan. Yearly subscriptions also come with a free music player ($99) value.  For a monthly plan, it’s $29.95/month and 50% off for a music player. 

Meanwhile, a Cloud Cover Pandora for Business account offers three (3) subscription tiers. 

  • Music: For businesses with 1-5 locations that want ad-free hit music from pop artists ($16.95/month per location, prepaid annually) 
  • Manage: For businesses with 5+ locations that want centralized control ($21.50/month per location, prepaid annually) 
  • Messaging & Signage: For businesses with 5+ locations that want in-store messaging, signage, and simple scheduling ($26.95/month per location, prepaid annually)

Using a personal Pandora account in a business setting violates federal copyright law (U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 504).  

When an employee accesses a personal account, whether it’s Pandora or another consumer app from a work device, IT has no visibility into how that credential is secured.  

If the employee reuses their password on a work system, a compromise of their personal account becomes a work problem. IT can't revoke access to accounts it doesn't know exist. 

The answer isn't to prohibit personal accounts. Employees will still use them regardless, and prohibition just pushes them into Chrome's built-in password manager, which your IT team can’t track.  

The better approach is to separate personal credentials from work credentials at the vault level. 

LastPass Business lets your employees link a personal LastPass account to their company account. Personal vault contents remain private: Your admins won’t be able to see them.  

But work vault contents will come under IT governance. Both vaults will be encrypted and secure. If an employee leaves, IT can revoke access to the business vault without touching the personal one. 

For Pandora Business, you’ll need a subscription through Mood Media or Cloud Cover. Once you have that, store your business credentials in your LastPass vault to help meet both your IT and legal obligations. 

Playing just one unauthorized song can lead to penalties between $750 and $30,000 (U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 504)One New Jersey restaurant incurred a fine of $20,000 for playing songs without a license. Meanwhile, an Ohio venue had to pay $1.5 million in fines because it allowed a cover band to perform unlicensed music.    

Licensing is a very visible cost. But unmanaged SaaS usage adds hidden costs such as wasted spend from duplicate tools and a higher risk of breaches. 

In 2026, the average organization uses up to 291 SaaS apps.  

Many of these apps, such as AI assistants and music & productivity apps, often fall outside IT oversight. 

The issue is each unmanaged account is a credential IT can't see, track, or revoke.  

If an account is compromised, the risk to your business increases. Ponemon reports that credential theft incidents are the costliest, at an average of $842,462 per incident. The takeaway is unmanaged access is an attack vector, which can leave you liable for crippling financial costs if a breach occurs.
