Change Your Password in Account Settings

To change your Paramount Plus password, sign into your account on a web browser, go to your account settings, and select the password option. The system will ask you to enter your current password, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches. Once you submit, your password changes when ready.

You can also change your password through the Paramount Plus mobile app on iPhone or Android. Open the app, tap your profile icon in the bottom right, select Account Settings, then choose Password. The steps are the same: current password, new password, confirmation.

If you are on a streaming device like Roku, Fire TV, or Apple TV, you cannot change your password directly from that device. You will need to use a web browser or the mobile app instead.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your password through the Paramount Plus website or mobile app, but not from a streaming device.
  • You will need to know your current password before you can set a new one.
  • The password change takes effect right away on all devices where you are signed in.
  • If you forget your current password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it instead.

What to Do If You Forget Your Current Password

If you cannot remember your current password, you cannot use the account settings method. Instead, go to the Paramount Plus login page and click "Forgot Password." Enter the email address connected to your account.

Paramount Plus will send you a reset link to that email. Click the link, and you will be taken to a page where you can create a new password without needing the old one. This reset link expires after a set time, so check your email soon after requesting it.

Check your spam or junk folder if you do not see the reset email in your inbox within a few minutes. Some email providers filter password reset messages by mistake.

How to Create a Strong New Password

Paramount Plus requires passwords to be at least 8 characters long. A strong password includes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols like ! @ # $ % ^ & *. Avoid using your name, birthdate, or words that appear in a dictionary.

Do not reuse a password you have used before on Paramount Plus or on other websites. If someone gains access to one account, a unique password on each site keeps your other accounts safe. A password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or the password tool built into your browser can store passwords securely so you do not have to remember them.

When Your Password Change Does Not Work

If you enter your new password and see an error message, the most common cause is that the two passwords you typed do not match exactly. Passwords are case-sensitive, meaning capital and lowercase letters are treated as different characters. Retype both carefully and make sure Caps Lock is not on by accident.

If the error persists, try signing out completely, closing your browser, and signing back in with your new password. Sometimes the system needs a moment to register the change across all servers.

If you still cannot sign in after changing your password, use the "Forgot Password" link again to reset it. This clears any confusion and gives you a fresh start.

Signing Out of Other Devices After a Password Change

When you change your password, you remain signed in on all devices where you were already logged in. If you changed your password because you think someone else has access to your account, you may want to sign out everywhere and sign back in with your new password.

On the Paramount Plus website, go to Account Settings and look for a section called "Active Sessions," "Devices," or "Sign Out Everywhere." Not all account types show this option, but if yours does, you can end all active sessions at once. After that, sign back in on the devices you use.

On mobile apps and streaming devices, you will need to sign out manually from each one. Open the app, go to your profile or settings, and select Sign Out or Log Out. Then sign back in with your new password.

Changing Your Email Address at the Same Time

If you want to change both your password and the email address on your account, do the password change first. Go to Account Settings, update your password, then look for an option to change your email address in the same menu.

When you change your email, Paramount Plus will send a confirmation link to the new email address. Click that link to finish the change. Until you confirm, your old email address remains active on the account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to change my password on every device I use Paramount Plus on?

No. When you change your password in account settings, the change applies to your entire account. You do not need to update anything on your Roku, Fire TV, phone, or other devices. You will only need to sign in again if you signed out or if Paramount Plus signed you out automatically.

What happens if I change my password while I am watching something?

You can keep watching. The password change does not interrupt playback on any device. The next time you sign out and try to sign back in, you will use your new password.

Can I change my password on a streaming device like Roku or Fire TV?

No. Streaming devices do not have a password change option in their apps. You must use a web browser or the Paramount Plus mobile app on a phone or tablet to change your password.

How often should I change my Paramount Plus password?

There is no rule that forces you to change it on a schedule. Change it if you think someone else knows it, if you used the same password on another website that was hacked, or if you have not changed it in over a year. Otherwise, a strong unique password is enough.

Will changing my password affect my subscription or billing?

No. Your subscription and payment method stay exactly the same. Changing your password only affects how you sign in to your account.
