Change Your Peacock Password in Three Steps

To change your Peacock password, sign into your account on a web browser, go to your account settings, and select the password option. The process takes about two minutes and works the same way whether you pay for Peacock directly or signed up through another service like Comcast or Apple TV Channels. You can change your password from any device, but you must use a web browser—the Peacock mobile app does not have a password change feature.

After you change your password, you will be signed out of all devices. You will need to sign back in with your new password on each device where you use Peacock, including phones, tablets, smart TVs, and streaming devices like Roku or Fire Stick. This usually takes less than a minute per device.

Key Takeaways

  • Open a web browser, sign into Peacock with your current email and password, and navigate to account settings to find the password change option.
  • Your new password must be at least eight characters long and include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and a special character like ! or @.
  • After you change your password, you will be signed out everywhere and must sign back in on each device you use.
  • If you forget your password before changing it, use the "Forgot Password" link on the sign-in page to reset it through your email.
  • Changing your password does not affect your billing or subscription—only your login credentials change.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Web Browser

Start by opening any web browser on your computer or phone and going to peacock.com. Click the sign-in button in the top right corner and enter the email address and password you currently use for your Peacock account. Once you are signed in, look for your profile icon or account menu, usually in the top right corner of the page.

Click on your profile icon and select "Account Settings" or "Settings" from the dropdown menu. On the account settings page, look for a section labeled "Password" or "Security." Click the option to change your password. You will be asked to enter your current password first, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches.

Your new password must meet these requirements: at least eight characters long, at least one uppercase letter (A–Z), at least one lowercase letter (a–z), at least one number (0–9), and at least one special character (such as !, @, #, $, %, or &). Once you enter a password that meets all these rules, click "Save" or "Update Password." A confirmation message will appear, and you will be signed out of your account.

What Happens After You Change Your Password

Peacock will sign you out of every device where you were logged in. This is a security measure to prevent anyone else from accessing your account with the old password. On your phone, tablet, or computer, you will see a message asking you to sign in again. You do not need to do anything right away—you can sign back in whenever you next open the Peacock app or website.

To sign back in, open the Peacock app or go to peacock.com, click sign in, and enter your email address and new password. Repeat this on each device where you use Peacock. If you have Peacock on a smart TV or streaming device like Roku, Fire Stick, or Apple TV, you will also need to sign in there. The sign-in process is the same: select Peacock from your apps, choose sign in, and enter your email and new password.

If You Forgot Your Current Password

If you cannot remember your current password before you try to change it, you will need to reset it first. Go to peacock.com and click the sign-in button. Below the password field, click "Forgot Password?" and enter the email address connected to your Peacock account. Peacock will send a password reset link to that email address.

Check your email inbox (and spam folder if you do not see it right away) for a message from Peacock. Click the reset link in the email, which will take you to a page where you can create a new password. Follow the same password requirements: at least eight characters, uppercase and lowercase letters, a number, and a special character. Once you set your new password, you can sign into your account and then follow the steps above to change it again if you wish.

Password Requirements and Security Tips

Peacock requires passwords to be strong enough to protect your account from unauthorized access. The eight-character minimum with mixed character types (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters) is a standard security practice. Avoid using passwords that contain your name, email address, or obvious patterns like "12345" or "qwerty."

If you share your Peacock account with family members, changing your password will sign all of them out. Let them know before you change it so they can sign back in when they are ready. If you suspect someone has accessed your account without permission, change your password when ready and consider changing the email address on your account as well—that option is also in your account settings.

Changing Your Password on Peacock Through Third-Party Services

If you signed up for Peacock through another service—such as Comcast Xfinity, Apple TV Channels, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or The Roku Channel—you still change your Peacock password through Peacock's website, not through the other service. The steps are identical: sign into peacock.com, go to account settings, and select the password option.

Your Peacock password is separate from your Comcast, Apple, Amazon, or Roku password. Changing your Peacock password will not affect those other accounts. However, if you signed up through one of these services and cannot remember your Peacock password, you may be able to use that service's sign-in instead—many of these services offer a "sign in with" option on the Peacock sign-in page, which lets you use your Comcast or Apple ID to access Peacock without entering a separate password.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my password on the Peacock mobile app?

The Peacock app does not have a password change feature. You must use a web browser and go to peacock.com to change your password. Once you change it on the website, you can sign back into the app with your new password.

How long does it take to change my password?

The password change itself takes about two minutes. However, you will need to sign back into each device where you use Peacock, which can take a few extra minutes depending on how many devices you have.

What if I change my password and then forget the new one?

Use the "Forgot Password?" link on the Peacock sign-in page. Enter your email address, and Peacock will send you a reset link. Click the link in your email to create another new password.
