Change your password from the account settings page

Log into Disney Plus on a web browser, go to your account menu in the top right corner, and select Account. On the Account page, find the Login and Security section and click Change Password. Enter your current password, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches. Click Save and you are done.

The process takes about two minutes. Your new password takes effect when ready across all devices where you are signed in — you do not need to log out and back in unless you want to.

Key Takeaways

  • You change your Disney Plus password through the Account settings page on a web browser, not through the app.
  • Disney Plus requires your new password to be at least six characters long and will reject passwords that are too straightforward.
  • If you forget your current password, use the Forgot Password link on the login page to reset it by email.
  • Changing your password does not log you out of other devices, but you can manually sign out of devices you no longer use from the same Account page.

What to do if you cannot remember your current password

Go to the Disney Plus login page and click Forgot Password below the login fields. Enter the email address tied to your account. Disney Plus will send a password reset link to that email — check your inbox and spam folder. Click the link, create a new password, and you can log back in right away.

The reset email arrives within a few minutes in most cases. If you do not see it after five minutes, check that you entered the correct email address and that your email provider is not filtering Disney Plus messages into spam.

How to sign out of Disney Plus on other devices

If you want to remove your account from a phone, tablet, or streaming device, go to Account on a web browser, then scroll to Devices and Apps. You will see a list of every device currently signed into your account, with the date it last connected. Click the three dots next to any device and select Sign Out. That device will be logged out when ready.

This is useful if you sold a phone, let someone borrow a tablet, or want to stop sharing your account with a household member. You can sign out of as many devices as you want at once. The device owner can always sign back in later if they have your password.

Password requirements and what Disney Plus will reject

Your new password must be at least six characters long. Disney Plus will reject passwords that are only numbers, only letters, or that repeat the same character (like 111111 or aaaaaa). It will also reject passwords that match your email address or username.

Beyond those rules, you can use uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters like ! @ # $ % in any combination. A password like Blue7!Sky or Garden2024 will work fine. Disney Plus does not have a maximum length, so longer passwords are actually more find.

Why you might want to change your password

Change your password if you think someone else knows it, if you used the same password on another website that was hacked, or if you shared your account with someone who no longer watches. You should also change it if you have not updated it in over a year, since old passwords are easier to guess or crack.

If you suspect someone is watching your account without permission, change your password first, then go to Devices and Apps and sign out of any devices you do not recognize. After that, only you will be able to sign back in.

How to change your password on the Disney Plus app

You cannot change your password directly in the Disney Plus app on a phone, tablet, or streaming device. You must use a web browser on a computer. Open a browser, go to disneyplus.com, log in, and follow the steps in the first section above.

The app will let you reset a forgotten password by tapping Forgot Password on the login screen, but for a routine password change, the web browser is the only option.

What happens after you change your password

Your new password works when ready on every device. You stay logged in on phones, tablets, and streaming devices — you do not get kicked out. If you want to force a logout on a specific device, use the Devices and Apps section to sign it out manually.

If you change your password and then try to log in on a new device, use your new password, not the old one. The old password will no longer work anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to change my password if I share my account with family?

No. Disney Plus does not require you to change your password just because multiple people use the account. However, if you want to stop sharing with someone, change your password and they will be locked out the next time their current session expires or they try to log in again.

Can I use the same password I used before?

Disney Plus does not prevent you from reusing an old password, but it is not a good idea from a security standpoint. If that old password was ever compromised, using it again puts your account at risk. Pick something new.

What if I change my password and then forget the new one?

Use the Forgot Password link on the login page, enter your email address, and Disney Plus will send you a reset link. You can create a new password without needing to remember the one you just set.

Will changing my password affect my billing or subscription?

No. Your subscription and payment method stay exactly the same. Changing your password only affects how you log in — it does not touch your plan, billing date, or saved payment information.
