How To Regain Access To Your Pandora Account That’s Been Hacked

Interestingly, Pandora can be used without an account. That implies that you do not need to worry about passwords. However, if you have a Pandora account, you need to secure it using a strong password.

Doing so prevents unauthorized individuals from:

• Accessing your Pandora account
• Snooping on your personal information
• Messing your preferences
• Taking advantage of the Pandora One subscription you pay for

So if you are considering upgrading your password to protect your Pandora account from being hacked, the steps below will offer you the assistance you need. DoNotPay can also help you recover your gaming account if you lose it for any reason.

How to Protect Your Pandora Account From Hacking by Changing Your Password

If you use the same password on multiple websites, you should consider changing it. Some time back, Pandora Radio advised some users to change their passwords. That was not because of a data breach, but believing that some passwords had been compromised, compelled Pandora Radio to do so.

The email that Pandora sent affected users read as follows:

"Dear Pandora listener:

As a precaution, we want to make you aware of a situation that could possibly affect your Pandora account.

First off, there is no evidence that your Pandora account has been compromised or tampered with in any way.

However, usernames and passwords that were breached by a service other than Pandora a few years ago were posted on the web recently.

In order to protect Pandora Listeners, our security teams have analyzed the data and found that your Pandora username was included in the list.

If you share passwords across services and haven't updated them recently, and you haven't already reset your Pandora password, you should do so now.

Below is a link with which you can request a password reset on Pandora.”

If you wonder how users' passwords can be compromised if Pandora has not suffered a hacking attack, the answer is simple.

Some users make the mistake of reusing the same password on different sites. So, if the password to one site is compromised, it affects all others that use the same login credentials.

Once you change your Pandora password, do not stop there. The next thing you should do is create new passwords for any other websites where you are still using the same credentials. That way, you will enhance the protection of your online account from hacking.

How to Change Your Pandora Account Password

So, how do you change your password to protect your Pandora account from being hacked?

Here is a step-by-step process on how to go about that.

1. Log into Your Pandora Account

The first step to changing your Pandora password to protect the account from hacking is logging in to access the options that allow you to do so.

2. Select Settings

By clicking on your email address, you will access Pandora's help section, your settings and profile, and the option to log out of your Pandora account. So, if you need to change your password, click on "Settings."

You will automatically be directed to the Account section of your settings. After that, click inside the box labeled "Password" at the dots standing in for your password. Next, press the "Backspace" key on your keyboard until your password disappears.

You can then type in the new password you prefer to use going forward to protect your Pandora account from hacking. Understand that the password you choose should be at least six characters long.

4. Click "Save Changes"
