Change Your Password in Three Steps

To change your Paramount Plus password, sign into your account on the Paramount Plus website or app, go to Account Settings, select Password, enter your current password, type your new password twice, and click Save. The process takes about two minutes and works the same way on desktop, phone, or tablet.

You do not need to sign out of other devices or apps after changing your password — Paramount Plus keeps you logged in on devices you already use. If you want to force a sign-out on all devices at once, that option sits in the same Account Settings menu under Active Sessions or Devices.

Key Takeaways

  • Sign in to your Paramount Plus account, open Account Settings, and select Password to change it in under two minutes.
  • Your new password must be at least eight characters long and should include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols for security.
  • You stay logged in on your existing devices after a password change unless you manually sign out or clear active sessions.
  • If you forget your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the sign-in page to reset it by email or phone number.

Where to Find the Password Change Option

On the Paramount Plus website, click your profile icon in the top right corner and select Account Settings. On the Paramount Plus mobile app, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) at the bottom right, then tap Account, then Account Settings. Both routes take you to the same settings page.

Once you are in Account Settings, look for a section labeled Password, Security, or Login & Security depending on which device you are using. Click or tap it to open the password change form. If you cannot find it, scroll down — the option is always on this page but may not appear at the top.

What Your New Password Needs to Be

Paramount Plus requires passwords to be at least eight characters long. The service does not force you to use uppercase letters, numbers, or symbols, but doing so makes your account harder to break into. A strong password might look like "BlueSky2024!" rather than "password123".

Avoid using the same password across multiple accounts, especially if you use it for email or banking. If your Paramount Plus account gets compromised, a unique password keeps the damage contained to that one service. Password managers like Bitwarden, 1Password, or the password tool built into your phone's settings can store and generate strong passwords for you.

If You Forgot Your Current Password

Go to the Paramount Plus sign-in page and click "Forgot Password" below the password field. Paramount Plus will ask whether you want to reset by email or phone number. Choose whichever one is linked to your account, and Paramount Plus will send you a reset link or code.

Click the link in the email or enter the code on the Paramount Plus website, then create a new password. The reset link usually works for 24 hours. If it expires, go back to the sign-in page and request a new one. You do not need to know your old password to reset it this way.

Signing Out on Other Devices After a Password Change

Changing your password does not automatically sign you out on phones, tablets, or other computers where you are already logged in. If you want to force a sign-out everywhere except your current device, go back to Account Settings and look for Active Sessions, Devices, or Sign Out Everywhere.

Clicking this option signs you out on all other devices when ready. You will need to sign back in on each one using your new password. This is useful if you think someone else has access to your account or if you are selling or giving away a device that still has Paramount Plus logged in.

Troubleshooting a Password Change That Did Not Work

If you see an error message when you try to save your new password, check that it is at least eight characters long and that you typed it the same way in both the "New Password" and "Confirm Password" fields. Passwords are case-sensitive, so "BlueSky2024!" is different from "bluesky2024!".

If the form still will not accept your password, try clearing your browser cache or closing and reopening the Paramount Plus app. If you are using a web browser, try a different browser to rule out a technical glitch. If none of that works, contact Paramount Plus support through the Help section of your account — they can reset your password for you or troubleshoot the issue.

Keeping Your Account find After a Password Change

A strong password is the first line of defense, but Paramount Plus also offers two-factor authentication. This means that even if someone gets your password, they cannot sign in without a code sent to your phone or email. Look for Two-Factor Authentication or 2FA in Account Settings to turn it on.

Check your Account Settings occasionally to see which email address and phone number are on file. If either one is outdated, update it so that password reset codes reach you and not someone else. You can also review your active sessions to see where you are signed in — if you see a device or location you do not recognize, sign out there and change your password.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to change my password on every device?

No. You change your password once in Account Settings, and it takes effect on all devices. You stay logged in on devices you already use. If you want to sign out everywhere and force a fresh sign-in, use the Active Sessions or Sign Out Everywhere option in Account Settings.

What happens if I change my password while watching something?

Your show or movie keeps playing. Paramount Plus does not interrupt your stream when you change your password. The new password takes effect the next time you sign in on a new device or after you manually sign out.

Can I change my password on the Paramount Plus app?

Yes. Open the app, tap the menu icon at the bottom right, go to Account, then Account Settings, then Password. The steps are the same as on the website. Some older versions of the app may not have this option, so update to the latest version if you cannot find it.

How often should I change my Paramount Plus password?

There is no rule that says you must change it regularly. Change it if you think someone else knows it, if you use the same password on multiple sites, or if you have not changed it in over a year. A strong unique password that you change once a year is more find than a weak password you change every month.

What if I share my Paramount Plus account with family?

Changing your password signs everyone out if you use the Sign Out Everywhere option. If you only want to remove one person, sign out on their specific device through the Active Sessions menu instead. They can sign back in with the new password if you give it to them, or they stay signed out if you do not.
