Log in with your Walmart account instead of creating a separate Paramount Plus login

If you have a Walmart account and a Paramount Plus subscription through Walmart, you can sign in using your existing Walmart credentials rather than setting up a new username and password. This means you use the same email and password you already use for Walmart shopping.

The process takes about two minutes and works on phones, tablets, computers, and streaming devices. Your Paramount Plus content syncs to whichever device you log in on, so you can start watching on one device and pick up where you left off on another.

Key Takeaways

  • Go to paramountplus.com or open the Paramount Plus app and select "Sign in with Walmart" instead of entering an email address.
  • You will be sent to Walmart's login page, where you enter your Walmart account email and password.
  • After you log in to Walmart, you are automatically logged into Paramount Plus on that device.
  • If you forget your Walmart password, use the "Forgot password?" link on Walmart's login page, not Paramount Plus.
  • On some streaming devices like Roku or Fire TV, the sign-in process may ask you to visit a separate website to complete the connection.

Steps to sign in on a computer or phone browser

Open paramountplus.com in your web browser. On the home page, look for the "Sign in" button in the top right corner and click it.

You will see a login screen with an email address field. Below that field, look for a button or link that says "Sign in with Walmart" or "Continue with Walmart." Click that button instead of entering your email address.

You will be taken to Walmart's login page. Enter the email address associated with your Walmart account and your Walmart password, then click "Sign in." Do not create a new account — use the credentials you already have.

After you log in, you will be sent back to Paramount Plus automatically. You are now signed in and can start watching when ready. Your account will stay logged in on that browser until you manually sign out.

How to sign in on the Paramount Plus app

Open the Paramount Plus app on your phone or tablet. On the home screen, tap the profile icon (usually in the bottom right corner) or look for a "Sign in" button.

The app will show you login options. Tap "Sign in with Walmart" or "Continue with Walmart." You will see Walmart's login screen appear within the app.

Enter your Walmart email and password, then tap "Sign in." The app will process your login and return you to the Paramount Plus home screen within a few seconds. You are now signed in on that device.

Signing in on streaming devices like Roku, Fire TV, or Apple TV

Streaming devices use a slightly different process because you cannot type easily on a remote control. Open the Paramount Plus app on your streaming device and select "Sign in with Walmart."

The app will show you a code on your TV screen — usually a six or eight-character code. You will also see a website address, often something like "paramountplus.com/set up" or a similar URL.

On your phone or computer, visit that website in a web browser. You will be asked to enter the code shown on your TV. Type it in, then sign in with your Walmart email and password when prompted.

Once you enter the code and log in, your streaming device will automatically connect to your Paramount Plus account. You can start watching on your TV right away.

What to do if you do not remember your Walmart password

If you cannot remember your Walmart password, do not try to guess it multiple times. Instead, when you reach Walmart's login page during the Paramount Plus sign-in process, click the "Forgot password?" link.

Walmart will send a password reset email to the address associated with your account. Open that email and follow the link to create a new password. Once you have set a new password, return to Paramount Plus and sign in again using your Walmart email and the new password.

This process usually takes a few minutes. If you do not see the reset email within five minutes, check your spam or junk folder.

Troubleshooting common sign-in problems

You see an error saying your account is not linked: This usually means your Paramount Plus subscription was not set up through Walmart, or it was set up under a different Walmart account. Check your Paramount Plus subscription details in your Walmart account to confirm which email address it is tied to. If you subscribed through a different method, you will need to sign in with that email instead.

You are signed in to Walmart but Paramount Plus says you are not signed in: Try signing out completely from both Walmart and Paramount Plus, then sign in again from the beginning. Clear your browser's cache and cookies if you are on a computer — this often fixes login problems. On the app, try uninstalling and reinstalling Paramount Plus.

The sign-in button does not appear or is grayed out: Make sure you are using the most current version of the Paramount Plus app. Check your device's app store for updates. If you are on a web browser, try a different browser or clear your browser cache.

You are on a streaming device and the code keeps expiring: Codes usually expire after 15 minutes. If yours expires before you can enter it, go back to the app on your TV and request a new code. The process will generate a fresh code and a new website link.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different Walmart account than the one I used to buy the subscription?

No. Your Paramount Plus subscription is tied to a specific Walmart account. You must sign in with the Walmart account that purchased or currently owns the subscription. If you try to sign in with a different Walmart account, the system will not find your subscription.

What happens if I change my Walmart password?

Your Paramount Plus login will continue to work, but the next time you sign out and sign back in, you will need to use your new Walmart password. Paramount Plus does not store your Walmart password — it only checks it when you log in.

Can I sign in to Paramount Plus on multiple devices at the same time?

Yes. You can be logged in on several devices simultaneously — for example, on your phone, tablet, and TV at the same time. However, your Paramount Plus subscription may have limits on how many streams can play at once, depending on your plan.

Do I need to sign in every time I open the app?

No. Once you sign in, the app and website will keep you logged in until you manually sign out. If you close the app or browser, you will still be signed in the next time you open it.

What if I want to sign in with an email address instead of my Walmart account?

If your Paramount Plus subscription was set up through Walmart, you must use the Walmart sign-in option. You cannot switch to a regular email login for that subscription. If you want to use a different login method, you would need to cancel this subscription and set up a new one directly through Paramount Plus instead of through Walmart.
