  Expert Answer

  I'd recommend either using a password manager, which will keep track of all of your different passwords for you, or writing your passwords down in a notebook. If you go the notebook route, keep it someplace safe where other people can't access it.

  The Spotify website is now blocked at my workplace. Any other methods for resetting my password without redirecting it to the Spotify website?

  

  Community Answer

  Try using a VPN. VPN uses a different server in a different country, which means your sites at your workplace will no longer be blocked as soon you switch on the VPN on your phone. VPN applications are available on the App Store/Play Store.
