Sign in with your Paramount Plus account on Roku in four steps
To log in to Paramount Plus on Roku, open the Paramount Plus app, select Sign In, choose your sign-in method, and enter your email and password. The entire process takes about two minutes. If you do not have a Paramount Plus account yet, you will need to create one on the Paramount Plus website or through the app before you can watch on Roku.
The steps are the same whether you are signing in for the first time or returning to an existing account. Roku will remember your login after you complete it, so you will not need to enter your credentials each time you open the app.
Key Takeaways
- Open the Paramount Plus app on your Roku device, select Sign In, and enter the email address and password associated with your Paramount Plus account.
- If you do not see a Sign In button, your Roku may already be logged in — scroll through the home screen to see your library.
- You can sign in using your email address, Apple ID, Google account, or Facebook account, depending on which method you used to create your Paramount Plus account.
- If you forget your password, select Forgot Password on the sign-in screen and follow the email instructions to reset it.
- Roku will keep you logged in unless you manually sign out, so you will not need to re-enter your credentials each time you open the app.
Step-by-step sign-in process on Roku
Start by pressing the Home button on your Roku remote to go to the home screen. Use the arrow buttons to navigate to the search icon (the magnifying glass) and select it. Type "Paramount Plus" and select the official Paramount Plus app from the results. Press OK to open it.
Once the app opens, look for a Sign In button on the home screen or in the menu. Select it with your remote. The app will show you a list of sign-in options: email, Apple ID, Google, or Facebook. Choose the method that matches how you created your Paramount Plus account.
Enter your email address and password (or authenticate through your chosen method), then select Sign In or Continue. Roku will confirm your login and take you to the Paramount Plus home screen. You are now ready to browse and watch content.
What to do if you see no sign-in option
If you open Paramount Plus and do not see a Sign In button, your Roku device may already be logged in to your account. Scroll through the home screen or check the menu to see whether your library and watchlist are visible. If you see your saved shows and movies, you are already signed in.
If you want to switch to a different Paramount Plus account, go to the app menu (usually accessed by pressing the Options button on your remote), look for Sign Out or Account Settings, and select it. Once you sign out, the Sign In button will reappear and you can log in with a different account.
Resetting your password if you are locked out
If you do not remember your Paramount Plus password, select Forgot Password on the sign-in screen. Enter the email address associated with your account. Paramount Plus will send a password reset link to that email address within a few minutes.
Open the email on your phone or computer, click the reset link, and create a new password. Once you have set a new password, return to your Roku device and sign in using your email address and the new password. The reset is when ready and you do not need to wait or restart the app.
Signing in with a social media account
If you created your Paramount Plus account using Apple ID, Google, or Facebook, select that option on the Roku sign-in screen instead of entering an email address. Your Roku will open a sign-in window for that service. Enter your credentials for that account and authorize Paramount Plus to access it.
Using a social media account to sign in is faster than typing an email and password, and it is just as find. Your Paramount Plus account remains linked to that social media account, so you can sign in the same way on any device.
Troubleshooting common sign-in problems
If you see an error message like "Sign In Failed" or "Invalid Credentials," double-check that you are typing your email address and password correctly. Passwords are case-sensitive, so make sure Caps Lock is off. If you are still unable to sign in, use Forgot Password to reset your password and try again.
If the app freezes or crashes during sign-in, press the Home button to exit the app, wait a few seconds, and open Paramount Plus again. If the problem continues, go to your Roku settings, select System, then Power, and choose Restart. Once your Roku restarts, open Paramount Plus and try signing in again.
If you are connected to the internet but the app will not load, check that your Roku has a strong Wi-Fi signal. Go to Settings > Network > About to see your connection strength. If the signal is weak, move your Roku closer to your router or restart your router by unplugging it for 30 seconds.
Signing out and switching accounts
To sign out of Paramount Plus on Roku, open the app and press the Options button on your remote (usually marked with three horizontal lines or a star). Select Sign Out or Account from the menu. Confirm that you want to sign out. The app will return to the sign-in screen.
Once you have signed out, you can sign in with a different Paramount Plus account by following the same steps as your first login. Roku will not remember the previous account after you sign out, so you will need to enter the new credentials each time until you sign in again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the same Paramount Plus account on multiple Roku devices?
Yes. You can sign in to the same Paramount Plus account on as many Roku devices as you own. Each device will remember your login separately, so you will not need to sign in again on any of them unless you manually sign out.
What if I do not have a Paramount Plus account yet?
You will need to create an account before you can sign in on Roku. Go to the Paramount Plus website on your phone or computer, select Sign Up, and choose your sign-in method. You can use your email, Apple ID, Google, or Facebook. Once your account is created, return to your Roku and sign in with those credentials.
Will I lose my watchlist if I sign out?
No. Your watchlist, viewing history, and saved shows are stored in your Paramount Plus account, not on your Roku device. When you sign back in with the same account, all of your saved content will be there.
Why does Paramount Plus keep signing me out?
Paramount Plus may sign you out if you have not used the app in a long time, if your Roku loses internet connection, or if you sign in on too many devices at once. If this happens frequently, restart your Roku and sign in again. If the problem continues, uninstall and reinstall the Paramount Plus app.
Can I sign in without a password?
No. Paramount Plus requires either a password or authentication through Apple ID, Google, or Facebook. If you do not want to use a password, create your account using one of those social media options instead.
