Hi, this looks like one of the spiders called False Widows in genus Steatoda. The photo isn’t at the best angle to see the markings. The white line may indicate Steatoda bipunctata. It has venom for killing prey, but it is much less dangerous than Black or Brown Widows. For bite prevention, avoid handling it and it will try to avoid you too.
