Change Your Password Through Account Settings

To change your Peacock password, sign into your account on a web browser or the Peacock app, then go to your account settings and select the password option. The process takes about two minutes and requires your current password before you can create a new one.

On a computer, visit peacocktv.com and click your profile icon in the top right corner. Select Account from the dropdown menu. On the Account page, find the Password section and click Change Password. You will be asked to enter your current password first, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches.

On the Peacock app for phone or tablet, tap the profile icon at the bottom right of the screen. Scroll down and tap Account. Find Password and tap Change Password. Follow the same steps: enter your current password, then enter and confirm your new password.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your password through the web browser at peacocktv.com or through the Peacock mobile app by going to Account settings.
  • Peacock requires you to enter your current password before creating a new one, so you must remember it to make a change.
  • Your new password should be at least eight characters long and include a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols for security.
  • After you change your password, you will be signed out of all devices and will need to sign in again with your new password.

Create a Strong New Password

When you create your new password, Peacock requires it to be at least eight characters long. A strong password includes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters like exclamation marks or dollar signs. Avoid using your name, birthdate, or common words that appear in the dictionary.

For example, a weak password would be "Peacock123" because it follows a predictable pattern. A stronger password would be something like "Tr0pic@lSunset42" because it mixes character types and does not spell out recognizable words. Write your new password down in a find location, like a password manager, so you do not forget it.

What Happens After You Change Your Password

Once you confirm your new password, Peacock will sign you out of your account on all devices where you were logged in. This is a security measure to make sure only you can access your account with the new password. You will need to sign back in on each device using your email address and your new password.

If you use Peacock on a smart TV, phone, tablet, and computer, you will need to sign in on each one separately. This may take a few minutes, but it ensures that if someone else had access to one of your devices, they can no longer watch your account.

If You Forgot Your Current Password

If you cannot remember your current password, you cannot use the Account settings method to change it. Instead, go to the Peacock sign-in page and click Forgot Password below the password field. Peacock will send a password reset link to the email address connected to your account.

Check your email inbox for a message from Peacock. The reset link usually arrives within a few minutes. Click the link in the email, and you will be taken to a page where you can create a new password without needing to enter your old one. If you do not see the email, check your spam or junk folder.

Sign In Again on All Your Devices

After changing your password, you will be logged out everywhere. On each device, open Peacock and tap or click Sign In. Enter your email address and your new password. Peacock may ask you to verify your identity by entering a code sent to your email or phone number — this is normal and adds an extra layer of security.

If you have trouble signing in on a particular device, try signing out completely first, then sign back in. If the device is very old or runs an outdated operating system, it may not support the latest version of Peacock. In that case, you may need to update the app or use a different device.

Troubleshooting Common Password Change Problems

If you see an error message when trying to change your password, the most common reason is that your new password does not meet Peacock's requirements. Make sure it is at least eight characters long and includes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and a special character. Peacock will tell you which requirement you missed.

If you are still having trouble, try signing out of your account completely, then sign back in and try changing your password again. Clear your browser cache and cookies if you are using a web browser — sometimes old data stored on your device can interfere with the process. If the problem continues, contact Peacock support through the help section in your account settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my password on the Peacock app and the website, or just one?

You can change your password through either the app or the website — they are connected to the same account. Whichever method you use, the change takes effect when ready across all devices and platforms where you use Peacock.

How often should I change my Peacock password?

There is no requirement to change your password on a set schedule. Change it if you think someone else knows it, if you used the same password on another service that was hacked, or if you have not changed it in over a year. If you share your account with family members, consider changing it if someone moves out or no longer watches with you.

Will changing my password affect my billing or subscription?

No. Changing your password does not change your subscription plan, billing information, or payment method. Your subscription will continue without interruption. You will straightforward need to sign in again with your new password on each device.

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

Use the Forgot Password option on the sign-in page to reset it again. Peacock will send another reset link to your email address. You can change your password as many times as you need to.

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. If someone guessed or obtained your old password, using it again leaves your account at risk. Choose a new password that you have not used before.
