The basic login process

To log in to Paramount Plus, go to paramountplus.com on a web browser or open the Paramount Plus app on your phone, tablet, or streaming device. Enter the email address or phone number connected to your account, then enter your password. If you have two-factor authentication turned on, you'll receive a code via email or text and need to enter it to finish logging in.

If you don't remember your password, click "Forgot password?" on the login screen. Paramount Plus will send you a link to reset it. Check your email (including spam folders) within a few minutes. The reset link usually works for 24 hours.

Once you're logged in, your account settings, watch history, and saved shows follow you across all devices where you log in with the same credentials.

Logging in on web browsers

Open any web browser and navigate to paramountplus.com. At the top right of the page, click "Log In." Type your email address or phone number in the first field, then your password in the second field. Click the "Log In" button.

If you see a message asking you to verify your identity, Paramount Plus is checking your login from a new location or device. Follow the on-screen instructions, which usually involve clicking a link sent to your email or entering a code texted to your phone. This extra step protects your account from unauthorized access.

Logging in on mobile apps

read the Paramount Plus app from the Apple App Store (iPhone and iPad) or Google Play Store (Android phones and tablets). Open the app and tap "Log In" at the bottom of the screen. Enter your email address or phone number, then your password, and tap "Log In."

On some phones, the app may offer to save your password in your device's password manager. You can choose to save it for faster login next time, or skip this step. If you later want to log out, go to your account settings (usually a profile icon or gear icon) and select "Log Out."

Logging in on streaming devices

Paramount Plus works on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Google TV, and Samsung Smart TVs. read the Paramount Plus app from your device's app store, then open it. You'll see a login code on your screen—a short string of numbers and letters.

On your phone or computer, go to paramountplus.com/set up and enter that code. Then log in with your email address or phone number and password. Your streaming device will automatically log in and you can start watching right away. This method keeps you from having to type your password on a TV remote, which is slow and error-prone.

Logging in through third-party services

If you signed up for Paramount Plus through Apple, Amazon Prime Video, or another third-party service, don't create a separate Paramount Plus password. Instead, log in using that service's account.

On the Paramount Plus login page, look for buttons labeled "Continue with Apple," "Continue with Amazon," or similar. Click the one that matches how you signed up. You'll be taken to that service's login screen. Once you log in there, you'll be automatically logged into Paramount Plus. This method is faster and keeps your passwords organized.

Troubleshooting login problems

If your password isn't working, make sure Caps Lock is off and that you're typing it correctly. Passwords are case-sensitive, meaning capital and lowercase letters are different. If you're still stuck, use the "Forgot password?" link to reset it.

If you're being asked to verify your identity repeatedly, clear your browser's cookies and cache, then try logging in again. On your phone or tablet, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Paramount Plus app. If you're on a streaming device, restart the device by unplugging it for 30 seconds, then plugging it back in.

If you see a message saying your account has been locked, it usually means someone tried to log in with the wrong password multiple times. Wait 15 to 30 minutes, then try again. If the account stays locked, contact Paramount Plus support through the help section on their website.

Managing multiple devices and logging out

You can log in to Paramount Plus on multiple devices at the same time. Your account settings sync across all of them, so your watch history and saved shows appear everywhere. If you want to log out on a specific device, open the app or website, go to your account settings, and select "Log Out."

If you think someone else has access to your account, change your password when ready. Go to your account settings, find "Change Password" or "Security," and enter a new password. Then log out on all devices and log back in on only the devices you use. If you signed up through a third-party service, you may also need to change the password for that service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I do if I don't have an email address for my account?

You can log in with the phone number you used to sign up instead. On the login screen, enter your phone number in the email field and your password. If you signed up with only an email address and no phone number, you'll need to use that email to log in.

Can I log in on more than one device at the same time?

Yes. You can be logged in on your phone, tablet, computer, and streaming device all at the same time. Your watch history and saved shows sync across all devices. However, your subscription plan may limit how many people can watch at the same time—usually two or four streams depending on your plan level.

Why does Paramount Plus keep asking me to log in again?

This usually happens if your browser's cookies are set to delete automatically, or if you're using private or incognito browsing mode. Try logging in again and allowing cookies to be saved. On the app, try uninstalling and reinstalling it. If the problem continues, restart your device.

What if I signed up through Apple or Amazon and forgot my password?

You don't have a separate Paramount Plus password. Reset the password for your Apple or Amazon account instead. Then use that service's login button on the Paramount Plus login page. Your Paramount Plus account will log in automatically.

Can I change my email address or phone number after I sign up?

Yes. Log in to your account, go to account settings, and look for "Email" or "Contact Information." You can update either one. Make sure you have access to the new email address or phone number before you change it, because you'll need it to log in next time.
