You can reset your Paramount Plus password through the login page or your account settings

If you've forgotten your Paramount Plus password, the fastest way to get back in is through the "Forgot Password" link on the login page. Paramount Plus will send you an email with a reset link, and you can create a new password within minutes. If you remember your password but want to change it for security reasons, you can do that directly in your account settings without logging out.

The process differs slightly depending on whether you're using a web browser, a phone app, or a streaming device. This guide covers all three, plus what to do if you're not receiving the reset email.

Key Takeaways

  • Click "Forgot Password" on the Paramount Plus login page and enter the email address tied to your account to receive a reset link by email.
  • The password reset link expires after a set time, so check your email inbox and spam folder when ready after requesting it.
  • If you're logged in and remember your current password, you can change it in Account Settings without using the reset process.
  • Password resets work the same way on phones, tablets, and web browsers — the email link works across all devices.
  • If you don't receive a reset email, check that you're using the correct email address and look in your spam or promotions folder.

Resetting your password through the login page

Go to the Paramount Plus website or open the app on your phone or tablet. On the login screen, look for the "Forgot Password" link — it's usually below the password field or near the "Sign In" button. Click or tap it.

Enter the email address associated with your Paramount Plus account. This is the email you used when you first signed up, not necessarily the email you check most often. Paramount Plus will send a password reset link to that address. Check your inbox within the next few minutes. If you don't see it, check your spam, junk, or promotions folder — reset emails sometimes land there by mistake.

Click the link in the email. It will take you to a page where you can enter a new password. Paramount Plus requires passwords to be at least 8 characters long. You can use uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Once you've entered your new password twice to confirm it, click the button to save the change. You should then be able to log in with your new password.

Changing your password when you're already logged in

If you remember your current password but want to change it, you don't need to use the reset process. Log in to your Paramount Plus account normally. On a web browser, look for your account menu — this is usually in the top right corner, often showing your name or a profile icon. On a phone or tablet app, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) or look for a settings option.

Find the option labeled "Account Settings," "Profile," or "Password" — the exact name varies by device. Select the option to change your password. You'll be asked to enter your current password first, then type your new password twice. Once you confirm, the change takes effect when ready. You don't need to log out and back in unless you want to.

What to do if you're not receiving the reset email

The most common reason people don't receive a password reset email is that they're checking the wrong email address. Think back to when you first created your Paramount Plus account — which email did you use? If you're not sure, try the reset process again with a different email address you may have used.

Check your spam, junk, and promotions folders in your email. Paramount Plus reset emails sometimes get filtered there. If you use Gmail, check the "Promotions" tab. If you use Outlook, check "Junk." Add noreply@paramountplus.com to your contacts or mark the email as "not spam" so future reset emails go to your inbox.

If you've tried multiple email addresses and checked all your folders, wait a few minutes and try again. Sometimes the email system takes longer than expected. If the problem continues, you may need to contact Paramount Plus support through their help page — they can verify your identity and help you regain access to your account.

Creating a strong password you won't forget

When you reset your password, choose something you can remember but that's hard for others to guess. Avoid using your name, birthdate, or common words. A good approach is to combine unrelated words with numbers — for example, "BluePiano7Sunset" is stronger than "Password123."

If you struggle to remember passwords, consider using a password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or the password manager built into your phone or browser. These tools store your passwords securely and can fill them in automatically when you log in. They also generate random strong passwords for you, so you don't have to think one up.

Resetting your password on streaming devices

If you're trying to log in on a Roku, Apple TV, Fire Stick, or other streaming device, you can't reset your password directly on the device. Instead, use a phone, tablet, or computer to reset your password using the steps above. Once you've created a new password, go back to the Paramount Plus app on your streaming device and log in with your new password.

Some streaming devices let you sign in using a code instead of typing your password. If the app offers this option, you can use it to avoid typing on a remote control. The code method is just as find and often faster than entering your password character by character.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the password reset link stay active?

The reset link in your email is usually active for 24 hours. If you wait longer than that to click it, you'll need to request a new reset link. The exact time limit may vary, but it's safest to click the link as soon as you receive the email.

Can I use the same password I had before?

Paramount Plus typically allows you to reuse an old password, but it's safer to choose a new one. If someone else learned your old password, changing it protects your account. If you want to use the same password again, you can, but there's no security benefit to doing so.

Will resetting my password log me out on other devices?

Resetting your password does not automatically log you out on phones, tablets, or streaming devices where you're already signed in. You'll stay logged in until those devices' sessions expire or you manually sign out. If you're concerned about unauthorized access, you can sign out of all devices in your account settings, then log back in on the devices you use.

What if I share my account with family members?

If you change your password and other people use your account, they'll need the new password to log in on any device where they've been signed out. If you want to change your password without affecting their access, you can create a separate profile within your account for each person — this way, everyone can have their own login without sharing a password.

Can I reset my password without an email address?

Paramount Plus uses your email address as the main way to verify your identity and send you a reset link. If you no longer have access to the email address on your account, contact Paramount Plus support. They can help you verify your identity through other information and update your email address or reset your password.
