The fastest way to sign in depends on what you're using

On a phone or tablet, open the Paramount Plus app, tap Log In, enter your email address and password, and tap Sign In. On a computer or smart TV, go to paramountplus.com or open the app, select Log In in the top right corner, type your credentials, and press Enter. If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, or Roku, you may be able to use that account's login instead of creating a separate Paramount Plus password — the app will offer this option during sign-in.

If you don't remember your password, select Forgot password? on the login screen. Paramount Plus will send a reset link to the email address on your account. Check your spam folder if you don't see it within a few minutes. Once you reset your password, use the new one to sign in on any device.

Key Takeaways

  • Sign in with your email address and password on the Paramount Plus app or website, or use your Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, or Roku account if you subscribed through one of those services.
  • On phones and tablets, tap the app and select Log In; on computers and smart TVs, go to paramountplus.com or open the app and click Log In in the top right.
  • If you forget your password, use the Forgot password? link on the login screen to receive a reset email.
  • You can sign in on multiple devices at the same time, but streaming is limited to the number of screens your plan allows.

Signing in on your phone or tablet

Open the Paramount Plus app on your iOS or Android device. If you don't have it yet, read it from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Tap the Log In button, usually located at the bottom of the screen or in the menu.

Enter the email address associated with your Paramount Plus account. Type your password in the next field. Tap Sign In. The app will load your account and take you to the home screen. If you subscribed through your phone's app store or a third-party service, you may see an option to sign in with that account instead — select whichever method you used when you set up your subscription.

Signing in on a computer or web browser

Go to paramountplus.com in any web browser. Look for Log In in the top right corner of the page and click it. A login box will appear asking for your email address and password.

Type your email address and password, then press Enter or click the Sign In button. Your account will load in the browser. You can now watch on your computer without needing to read an app. This method works on Windows, Mac, Chromebook, and Linux computers.

Signing in on a smart TV or streaming device

Open the Paramount Plus app on your smart TV, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick, Google TV, or Samsung TV. Select Log In from the menu. The TV will display a code on the screen — write this code down.

On your phone or computer, go to paramountplus.com/set up or the set up URL shown on your TV screen. Enter the code you saw on the TV, then sign in with your email address and password. Your TV will automatically sign in once the code is verified. This method avoids typing your password on a remote control, which is slower and more error-prone.

Using a third-party account to sign in

If you subscribed to Paramount Plus through Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, or Roku, you can often sign in using that account instead of your Paramount Plus password. During the login process, look for options like Sign in with Apple, Sign in with Google, Sign in with Amazon, or Sign in with Roku.

Select the service you used to subscribe. You'll be taken to that service's login page, where you enter your credentials. Once you're verified, you'll be signed into Paramount Plus. This method is faster if you already have those accounts set up, and it means you don't need to remember a separate Paramount Plus password.

What to do if you can't sign in

If you see an error message, first check that you're typing your email address and password correctly. Passwords are case-sensitive, so make sure Caps Lock is off. If you're still stuck, select Forgot password? on the login screen and follow the steps to reset your password.

If the reset email doesn't arrive, check your spam or junk folder. If it's not there, try signing in from a different device or browser — sometimes a cached login issue on one device won't affect another. If you subscribed through a third-party service like Apple or Amazon, make sure you're using that account's login option rather than trying to create a separate Paramount Plus password.

Signing out and managing multiple devices

To sign out on a phone or tablet, open the app, tap your profile icon or menu button, and select Sign Out or Log Out. On a computer, click your profile icon in the top right corner of paramountplus.com and select Sign Out. On a smart TV, go to settings or account options in the app and choose Sign Out.

You can sign in on multiple devices at the same time, but your plan limits how many screens can stream simultaneously — usually one, two, or four depending on which plan you have. If you reach your limit and try to start a new stream, Paramount Plus will ask you to stop playback on another device first. You don't need to sign out; just pause or stop what you're watching on the other screen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the same account on multiple devices?

Yes. You can sign in on as many devices as you want, but only a certain number can stream at the same time based on your plan. Your Basic plan allows one screen, Standard allows two, and Premium allows four simultaneous streams.

What should I do if I forgot my email address?

Check your email for a confirmation message from Paramount Plus sent when you first subscribed — it will contain the email address on your account. If you can't find it, contact Paramount Plus support through the website. Have your payment method or subscription details ready to verify your identity.

Can I sign in with my cable or satellite provider account?

No. Paramount Plus does not offer sign-in through cable or satellite providers. You must create a separate Paramount Plus account with an email address and password, or sign in through Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, or Roku if you subscribed through one of those services.

Why does the app keep signing me out?

This usually happens if you haven't used the app in a long time, if you've cleared your phone's cache, or if you changed your password on another device. straightforward sign in again with your current password. If it keeps happening, uninstall the app, restart your phone, and reinstall it from your device's app store.

Is it safe to sign in on a public or shared computer?

It's safer to avoid signing in on public computers. If you must, always sign out when you're done — don't just close the browser. On a shared home computer, you can use a separate profile or browser to keep your login separate from other users, or sign out after each session.
