How to protect your account
If you receive an email from Deezer informing you of suspicious activity, you will need to select the Reset your password button on the email. Alternatively, you can reset your password here.
Tip: You'll need a strong password that contains at least 8 characters. It should be unique and contain a combination of numbers, uppercase and lowercase letters, and symbols. Avoid using the same email and password combinations across multiple apps and sites
Warning: If you do not receive an email to reset your password, it's possible that your email has been changed. If this happens, you should contact Deezer Support.
How your Deezer account may have been compromised
Your personal information could have been illegally acquired online, or you may have accidentally leaked your credentials on the web. The most common reasons for suspicious activity are:
- A malicious virus or keylogging software installed on your computer or device

- Using the same email and password combination across multiple accounts
- Having a commonly used password. See the list here
