Where to find your Peacock password

Peacock does not show you your password after you create it — that is by design, for security. But you can reset it at any time using the email address tied to your account. Go to peacocktv.com, click "Sign In" in the top right, then click "Forgot Password" on the login screen. Enter the email address you used when you signed up, and Peacock will send you a link to create a new password.

The reset email arrives within a few minutes. Check your inbox and your spam folder — sometimes it lands there by mistake. The link in the email works for 24 hours. Click it, type your new password twice to confirm it matches, and you are done. You can then sign in with that new password on any device.

If you signed up through a third-party account — Apple, Google, Facebook, or your cable provider — you do not have a Peacock password at all. Instead, you sign in using that account's credentials. To change your password in that case, you would change it through the third-party service itself, not through Peacock.

Key Takeaways

  • Peacock does not display your password after creation; you must reset it if you forget it.
  • Use the "Forgot Password" link on the Peacock sign-in page and enter your account email to receive a reset link.
  • The password reset link expires after 24 hours, so act on it the same day you request it.
  • If you signed up through Apple, Google, Facebook, or a cable provider, you sign in with that service's password instead.
  • After resetting your password, you can sign in on any device using your email and the new password.

What to do if you do not receive the reset email

Check your spam or junk folder first — email filters sometimes catch password reset messages by mistake. If it is not there, wait a few minutes and try again. Peacock's email system can be slow during peak hours.

If you still do not see it after 10 minutes, the email address on file may be wrong or no longer active. Try signing in with a different email address you may have used. If you have a Peacock account through your cable or streaming provider (like Comcast Xfinity or Cox), you may need to reset your password through that provider's website instead of Peacock's.

Signing in on different devices

Once you have reset your password, you can use it to sign in on phones, tablets, smart TVs, computers, and streaming devices like Roku or Fire Stick. Your email address and new password work the same way on all of them.

If you are signed in on a device and want to sign out, go to your account settings (usually found in the menu or profile icon), scroll to "Sign Out," and confirm. This removes your login from that device only — you stay signed in on other devices until you sign out there too.

Changing your password after you reset it

You can change your password again at any time without resetting it. Sign in to your Peacock account on a computer or phone, go to Account Settings, find the "Password" or "Security" section, and look for "Change Password." You will need to enter your current password and then type your new password twice.

Make your new password at least 8 characters long and include a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols if possible. Avoid using the same password across multiple streaming services — if one service is hacked, a unique password keeps your other accounts safer.

If you signed up through a third-party account

If your Peacock account is linked to Apple, Google, Facebook, or your cable provider, you do not have a separate Peacock password. You sign in by choosing that service and entering its credentials instead.

To change your password in this case, you change it through the third-party service itself. For example, if you signed up with Google, you would change your Google password through your Google account settings. Peacock will then use your updated credentials the next time you sign in.

If you want to switch from a third-party sign-in to a direct email and password, you may need to create a new Peacock account with a different email address. Contact Peacock support through the app or website to ask whether you can unlink your current account from the third-party service.

Keeping your account find

Use a password you do not use anywhere else. If you reuse passwords and one service gets hacked, someone could try that same password on your Peacock account and others.

If you share your Peacock account with family members, consider whether you want to give them the password or instead create separate profiles within the account. Profiles let each person have their own watchlist and recommendations without sharing the login credentials.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the password reset link stay active?

The link expires after 24 hours. If you do not use it within that time, request a new reset link by going through the "Forgot Password" process again.

Can I use the same password I used before?

Peacock usually allows you to reuse an old password, but it is safer to create a new one. If you are resetting because you think someone else knows your password, definitely choose something different.

What if I signed up with an email I no longer have access to?

Contact Peacock support through the app or website and explain the situation. They may be able to update the email on file so you can reset your password. Have your account details ready, like your name or the payment method you used.

Do I need to reset my password on each device separately?

No. Once you reset your password, use the new one to sign in on any device. You do not need to reset it again unless you forget the new password or want to change it for security reasons.
