You can sign into Paramount+ with your Walmart+ account instead of creating a separate login

If you have a Walmart+ membership, Paramount+ is included at no extra cost. Rather than setting up a new Paramount+ account with a separate email and password, you can sign in using your existing Walmart+ credentials. This means one login gets you into both services.

The process takes about two minutes and works on phones, tablets, computers, and streaming devices. You will need your Walmart+ username and password, and you should be signed out of any other streaming accounts on the device you are using.

Key Takeaways

  • Paramount+ is included free with Walmart+ membership, and you sign in using your Walmart+ email and password rather than creating a separate account.
  • On a phone or computer, go to the Paramount+ website or app, select "Sign In," choose "Sign in with Walmart+," and enter your Walmart+ credentials.
  • On a TV or streaming device like Roku or Fire TV, you will receive a code to enter on a web browser, which links your Walmart+ account to that device.
  • If you see an error message, clear your browser cache, make sure you are using the correct Walmart+ password, and confirm your Walmart+ membership is active.

Signing in on a phone or tablet

Open the Paramount+ app or go to paramount.com in your mobile browser. Tap or click the "Sign In" button, usually located in the top right corner or in a menu. You will see a list of sign-in options; select "Sign in with Walmart+".

Enter your Walmart+ email address and password. If you have two-factor authentication enabled on your Walmart+ account, you will be asked to verify your identity through a code sent to your phone or email. Once verified, you will be signed into Paramount+ and can start watching when ready.

Signing in on a computer or web browser

Go to paramount.com and click "Sign In" in the top right corner. Select "Sign in with Walmart+" from the options shown. Enter your Walmart+ email and password, then complete any two-factor authentication if your account requires it.

After you sign in, Paramount+ will remember your login on that browser. If you use multiple computers or browsers, you may need to sign in separately on each one. You can manage which devices have access to your account by visiting your Paramount+ account settings.

Signing in on a TV or streaming device

The process is different on televisions and streaming devices like Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Google TV. Open the Paramount+ app on your device. Select "Sign In" and you will see a code displayed on your screen — usually a six-character combination of letters and numbers.

On your phone or computer, go to paramount.com/set up and enter the code shown on your TV. Then sign in with your Walmart+ email and password. Once you complete the sign-in on the web, your TV or streaming device will automatically connect and you can begin watching.

This code method exists because typing a password on a TV remote is slow and error-prone. The code links your device to your account without requiring you to enter your full credentials on the television itself.

What to do if sign-in fails

If you see an error message or cannot sign in, first confirm that your Walmart+ membership is currently active. You can check this by logging into your Walmart account on walmart.com and viewing your membership status. If your membership has expired or been cancelled, you will need to renew it before Paramount+ access works.

Clear your browser's cache and cookies, then try signing in again. On a phone, this usually means going to Settings > Apps > [Your Browser] > Storage > Clear Cache. On a computer, most browsers have a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+Delete on Windows, Command+Shift+Delete on Mac) to open the cache-clearing menu.

If you are still unable to sign in, make sure you are entering the correct Walmart+ password. If you have forgotten it, use the "Forgot Password" link on walmart.com to reset it before attempting to sign into Paramount+ again. Avoid copying and pasting your password, as this can sometimes cause errors — type it manually instead.

Managing your Paramount+ account after sign-in

Once you are signed in, your Paramount+ account is linked to your Walmart+ membership. You can watch on up to four devices at the same time, though only one stream can play per device. Your watch history, saved shows, and profile settings sync across all devices where you are signed in.

If you want to sign out on a specific device, go to your account settings within the Paramount+ app or website and select "Sign Out." If you cancel your Walmart+ membership, your Paramount+ access will end, though you can reactivate it by renewing your Walmart+ subscription.

Signing in on different devices at the same time

You can be signed into Paramount+ on multiple devices simultaneously — for example, on your phone, tablet, and TV at the same time. However, you can only watch video on one device at a time. If someone tries to start playing on a second device while video is already playing on another, the first stream will pause.

This is a built-in protection to prevent account sharing beyond your household. If you frequently watch on different devices, make sure to pause or stop playback on one before starting on another to avoid interruptions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a separate Paramount+ account if I have Walmart+?

No. You sign in to Paramount+ using your Walmart+ email and password. You do not create or manage a separate Paramount+ account. Your Walmart+ membership is your Paramount+ membership.

What if I already have a Paramount+ account before signing up for Walmart+?

You can sign into Paramount+ with your Walmart+ credentials instead. Your old Paramount+ account will remain separate unless you choose to merge them. Contact Paramount+ support if you want to combine your watch history and saved shows from your old account into your Walmart+-linked one.

Can I use Paramount+ if my Walmart+ membership is paused?

No. Paramount+ access requires an active Walmart+ membership. If your membership is paused or expired, you will not be able to sign in or watch. You must renew or reactivate your Walmart+ subscription to restore access.

Why does my TV ask for a code instead of letting me type my password?

Streaming devices use a code-based sign-in method because entering a password with a remote control is difficult and error-prone. The code links your device to your account securely without requiring you to type your full credentials on the television.

What happens to my Paramount+ access if I cancel Walmart+?

Your Paramount+ access ends when ready when your Walmart+ membership is cancelled. If you reactivate Walmart+ later, your Paramount+ access returns and your watch history is restored.
