Change your Peacock password from your account settings on any device

To change your Peacock password, sign in to your account, go to Account Settings, select Password, enter your current password, type your new password twice, and save the change. The process takes about two minutes and works the same way on a phone, tablet, computer, or streaming device. You do not need to sign out of other devices — Peacock will keep you logged in everywhere.

If you have forgotten your current password, use the "Forgot password" link on the Peacock sign-in page instead. Peacock will send a reset link to the email address on your account, and you can create a new password without knowing the old one.

Key Takeaways

  • Sign in to Peacock, open Account Settings, and select Password to change it in under two minutes.
  • 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 password, click "Forgot password" on the sign-in page and check your email for a reset link.
  • Changing your password does not sign you out on other devices, but you can manually sign out from Account Settings if you want to.

Step-by-step password change on a computer or phone

Start by signing in to your Peacock account at peacock.com or in the Peacock app. Once you are logged in, look for your profile icon or name in the top right corner and tap or click it to open a menu.

Select Account Settings from that menu. You will see several options including Subscription, Payment Method, and Password. Click or tap Password. Peacock will ask you to enter your current password for security — type it in and continue.

In the next screen, enter your new password in the first field and type it again in the second field to confirm it. Peacock requires passwords to be at least eight characters long. Your password should mix uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols (like ! or #) to be harder to guess. Once both fields match, click or tap Save or Update. The change takes effect when ready.

Password change on a Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, or Chromecast

Streaming devices do not let you change your password directly in the Peacock app. Instead, sign in to peacock.com on a computer or phone, follow the password change steps above, and your new password will work the next time you sign in on the streaming device.

If you are already signed in on a streaming device, you do not have to sign out. The old password stays active until you try to sign in again, at which point you will use the new one. If you want to sign out when ready after changing your password, go to Account Settings in the Peacock app on that device, find the sign-out option, and select it.

What to do if you forgot your password

Go to peacock.com and look for the sign-in screen. Below the password field, click or tap Forgot password. Peacock will ask for the email address connected to your account. Type it in and select Send reset link.

Check the email inbox for a message from Peacock. The email will contain a link that takes you to a page where you can create a new password. Click the link, enter your new password twice to confirm it, and save. You can then sign in with your new password on any device.

If you do not see the reset email within a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder. If it is not there, make sure you entered the correct email address. You can try the reset process again with a different email address if you have more than one account.

Signing out of Peacock on all devices at once

Changing your password does not automatically sign you out on phones, tablets, computers, or streaming devices where you are already logged in. If you want to sign out everywhere — for example, if someone else has been using your account — you can do that from Account Settings.

Sign in to peacock.com on a computer, go to Account Settings, and look for an option like Sign out all devices or Active sessions. Select it and confirm. Peacock will sign you out everywhere except the device you are currently using. The next time someone tries to use Peacock on another device, they will have to sign in again with your username and new password.

Password security tips for your Peacock account

Use a password that is unique to Peacock — do not reuse a password from another streaming service, email account, or website. If that password gets stolen from another site, someone could use it to access your Peacock account and your payment information.

Make your password at least 12 characters long if possible, even though Peacock only requires eight. Include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using words from the dictionary, your name, your birthday, or other personal information that someone could guess.

If you share your Peacock account with family members, consider changing your password every few months, especially if someone moves out or stops using the service. You can also create a separate Peacock profile for each person in your household so they have their own watch history and recommendations without sharing a password.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be signed out everywhere if I change my password?

No. Changing your password keeps you signed in on all devices where you are already logged in. You only get signed out if you manually select a sign-out option or if you use the "sign out all devices" feature in Account Settings.

Can I change my password on the Peacock app without going to the website?

Yes. Open the Peacock app on your phone or tablet, tap your profile icon, select Account Settings, choose Password, and follow the same steps. On streaming devices like Roku or Fire TV, you must use peacock.com instead because the app does not have a password change option.

What if I enter the wrong current password when trying to change it?

Peacock will show an error message and ask you to try again. If you cannot remember your current password, click "Forgot password" on the sign-in page instead and use the email reset link.

How often should I change my Peacock password?

There is no set rule, but changing it every three to six months is reasonable if you share your account or if you use the same password on multiple services. If you think someone else knows your password, change it right away.

Can I use special characters in my Peacock password?

Yes. Peacock allows symbols like !, @, #, $, %, and others in your password. Using special characters makes your password stronger and harder to crack.
