Change Your Password in the Account Settings Menu
To change your Disney Plus password, sign into your account on a web browser, go to your account settings, and select the password option. The steps take about two minutes and work the same way whether you use a computer or phone browser. You will need your current password to confirm the change.
Start by visiting disneyplus.com and clicking the profile icon in the top right corner. Select "Account" from the menu that appears. On the Account page, look for the "Password" section under "Login and Security" — this is where you make the change. Click "Change Password" and enter your current password first, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches.
Your new password takes effect when ready. If you are signed into Disney Plus on other devices — a phone, tablet, or smart TV — you will stay logged in on those devices. The next time you open the app or website on any device, you may be asked to sign in again with your new password, depending on the device.
Key Takeaways
- Change your password through the Account menu on disneyplus.com by clicking your profile icon and selecting "Account."
- You must enter your current password before creating a new one, so have it ready.
- Your new password works when ready across all devices, though some devices may ask you to sign in again.
- If you forget your current password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it by email.
- A strong password includes uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols to protect your account.
What to Do If You Forgot Your Current Password
If you cannot remember your current password, you cannot change it from the Account settings menu because Disney Plus requires you to enter the old one first. Instead, use the password reset option on the login page. Go to disneyplus.com, click "Sign In," and then click "Forgot Password" below the login fields.
Enter the email address connected to your Disney Plus account. Disney will send a password reset link to that email within a few minutes. Click the link, create a new password, and you will be able to sign in when ready. This process bypasses the need to know your old password and takes about five minutes from start to finish.
Changing Your Password on the Disney Plus App
You cannot change your password directly in the Disney Plus app on phones, tablets, or streaming devices. The password change option only appears in the web version at disneyplus.com. If you try to find it in the app settings, you will see an option to "Manage Account" or "Account Settings," but these will redirect you to the website.
Open a web browser on any device with internet access, go to disneyplus.com, and follow the steps in the first section. Once you have changed your password on the website, you can use the new password the next time you sign into the app. Some apps will ask you to sign in again right away; others will let you stay logged in until you manually sign out.
Creating a Strong New Password
When you create your new password, Disney Plus requires it to be at least six characters long, but a stronger password protects your account better. Use a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols like ! @ # $ % if the system allows them. Avoid using the same password across multiple accounts, and do not use personal information like your birthday or name.
A password like "BlueMoon#2024" is stronger than "password123" because it combines different character types and is harder to guess. If you use a password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or the password manager built into your phone, you can store your Disney Plus password securely without having to remember it yourself. This also makes it easier to use a longer, more complex password.
Signing Out of Other Devices After Changing Your Password
Changing your password does not automatically sign you out of devices where you are already logged in. If you want to sign out everywhere except one device — for example, if you think someone else has access to your account — you will need to sign out manually on each device, then sign back in with your new password on the ones you want to keep.
On phones and tablets, open the Disney Plus app, tap your profile icon, scroll down, and select "Sign Out." On a computer, go to disneyplus.com, click your profile icon, and select "Sign Out." On a smart TV or streaming device, go to the account settings in the app and look for a "Sign Out" or "Log Out" option. After you have signed out everywhere, sign back in on the devices you use regularly with your new password.
What Happens When You Share Your Account
Disney Plus allows one account to have multiple user profiles, which is different from sharing your password with another person. If you share your password with someone outside your household, they can change the password themselves, lock you out, or access your payment information. If you want to let someone else watch Disney Plus, create a separate profile for them on your account instead of giving them your password.
To create a profile, sign into your account on disneyplus.com, click your profile icon, and select "Add Profile." You can create up to seven profiles per account, and each one has its own watch history and recommendations. The person using that profile does not need to know your password. If you later want to remove their access, you can delete their profile without changing your password.
Troubleshooting Password Change Problems
If you see an error message when trying to change your password, the most common cause is that your new password does not meet Disney Plus requirements — it must be at least six characters long and cannot be the same as your current password. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again. If you are using an older browser, update it to the latest version.
If you still cannot change your password after trying these steps, sign out completely, close your browser, and sign back in. Sometimes a stale session prevents the change from going through. If the problem continues, contact Disney Plus support through the Help Center at disneyplus.com/help. They can verify your identity and help you change your password if the self-service option is not working.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to change my password on all my devices?
No. Change your password once on the Disney Plus website, and it works everywhere. You may need to sign in again on some devices the next time you open the app, but you only enter the new password once in the account settings.
Will changing my password delete my watch history or saved shows?
No. Your watch history, saved shows, and all your profile settings stay exactly the same. Changing your password only affects how you sign in — nothing else on your account changes.
How often should I change my Disney Plus password?
Change it if you think someone else knows it, if you used the same password on another service that was hacked, or if you have not changed it in over a year. You do not need to change it more often than that unless you have a specific reason to.
Can I change my password on my phone without using a web browser?
No. The Disney Plus app does not have a password change option. You must use a web browser on any device — phone, tablet, or computer — and go to disneyplus.com to change it.
What if I change my password and then forget the new one?
Use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page at disneyplus.com. Enter your email address, click the reset link Disney sends you, and create another new password. You can do this as many times as you need.
