Change Your Peacock Password in Three Steps

To change your Peacock password, sign into your account on a web browser, go to Account Settings, select Password, enter your current password, type your new password twice, and click Save. The process takes about two minutes and works the same way whether you use a phone, tablet, or computer.

You can change your password anytime, whether you remember your current one or not. If you have forgotten your password entirely, Peacock will send you a reset link by email instead of asking you to enter the old one first.

Key Takeaways

  • Sign in to your Peacock account through a web browser — the mobile app does not have a password change option.
  • Your new password must be at least eight characters long and should include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols for security.
  • If you forget your current password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it by email instead of trying to change it.
  • After you change your password, you will be signed out of all devices and will need to sign back in with your new password.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Web Browsers

Open a web browser and go to peacock.com. Click the profile icon in the top right corner and select Account Settings from the dropdown menu. On the Account Settings page, look for the Password section and click Change Password.

Enter your current password in the first field. Type your new password in the second field and again in the third field to confirm it. Click the Save button. Peacock will confirm that your password has been changed, and you will be signed out of your account on all devices.

The next time you sign in, use your new password. Keep your new password in a safe place — you will need it to sign in on any device where you watch Peacock.

Password Requirements and Security Tips

Peacock requires passwords to be at least eight characters long. The strongest passwords include a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols — for example, "BlueSky#2024" or "Streaming$Pass9". Avoid using the same password across multiple streaming services or websites.

If you share your Peacock account with family members, change your password if someone moves out or if you suspect someone has accessed your account without permission. Peacock does not limit how many times you can change your password, so you can update it as often as you want.

What Happens After You Change Your Password

When you save your new password, Peacock automatically signs you out of your account on every device — phones, tablets, computers, and smart TVs. This is a security feature that prevents unauthorized access. You will see a message telling you that you have been signed out.

To watch Peacock again, sign back in on each device using your new password. If you have multiple profiles on your account, you will need to sign back in on each profile separately. The sign-in process is the same as the first time you set up the account.

If You Forgot Your Current Password

Go to peacock.com and click the Log In button. Click Forgot Password below the password field. Enter the email address connected to your Peacock account. Peacock will send you a password reset link to that email address within a few minutes.

Open the email and click the reset link. You will be taken to a page where you can create a new password without entering your old one. Follow the same password requirements — at least eight characters with a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. After you set your new password, you can sign in right away.

Changing Your Password on Mobile Devices

The Peacock mobile app for iPhone and Android does not have a built-in password change feature. To change your password on a phone or tablet, open a web browser instead of the app and follow the same steps you would use on a computer.

After you change your password through the browser, the mobile app will ask you to sign in again the next time you open it. Enter your new password and you will be back in the app. You do not need to delete or reinstall the app.

Troubleshooting Common Password Change Problems

If you see an error message saying your current password is incorrect, make sure you are typing it exactly as you set it — passwords are case-sensitive, meaning capital and lowercase letters are different. If you are still stuck, use the Forgot Password link instead to reset your password by email.

If you change your password but cannot sign back in on a device, try signing out completely and signing back in again. Clear your browser cache or app cache if you are having trouble on a specific device. If the problem continues, restart the device and try again.

If you receive an email saying someone changed your password but you did not do it, change your password when ready using the Forgot Password option. Then check your account email address in Account Settings to make sure it is correct — if someone has access to your email, they can reset your Peacock password.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my password on the Peacock app?

No. The Peacock mobile app does not have a password change option. You must use a web browser on any device — phone, tablet, or computer — to change your password. After you change it through the browser, sign back into the app with your new password.

How long does it take to change my password?

The password change takes effect when ready. You will be signed out of all devices right away and will need to sign back in with your new password within a few minutes. There is no waiting period.

Will changing my password affect my subscription?

No. Changing your password does not affect your Peacock subscription, billing, or any shows you have saved. Your watchlist, profiles, and viewing history stay the same. You will straightforward need to sign back in with the new password.

What if I share my Peacock account with family?

When you change your password, everyone who shares the account will be signed out on all devices. Let them know the new password so they can sign back in. If you want to remove someone's access without changing the password, you can manage profiles or devices in Account Settings instead.

Can I use the same password I used before?

Peacock does not prevent you from reusing an old password, but it is not recommended for security reasons. Choose a new password that is different from ones you have used before on Peacock or other services.
