Where to find your Peacock password
You cannot retrieve your actual Peacock password through the app or website — Peacock does not store passwords in a way that lets you see them. What you can do is reset it to something new. The reset process works the same whether you have forgotten your password, think someone else knows it, or just want to change it to something stronger.
The fastest way is to go to peacocktv.com, click "Sign In" at the top right, then click "Forgot Password" below the password field. Enter the email address connected to your account. Peacock will send you a link to create a new password. Check your email inbox and spam folder — the message usually arrives within a few minutes.
If you do not have access to the email address on your account, or if the reset link does not arrive, you will need to contact Peacock support directly through their help center at peacocktv.com/help.
Key Takeaways
- Peacock does not show you your existing password; you can only reset it to a new one through the "Forgot Password" link on the sign-in page.
- A password reset link arrives by email to the address connected to your account, usually within a few minutes.
- If you cannot access that email address, Peacock support can help you regain control of your account through their help center.
- A strong password should be at least 8 characters and include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
How to reset your password on the Peacock website
Go to peacocktv.com and click the "Sign In" button in the top right corner. On the sign-in page, enter the email address for your account in the first field. Below the password field, you will see a link that says "Forgot Password" — click it.
Peacock will ask you to confirm the email address on file. Click the button to send the reset link. Open your email and look for a message from Peacock (check spam and promotions folders if you do not see it in your inbox). The email will contain a link that takes you to a page where you can create a new password. Enter your new password twice to confirm it matches, then click the button to save it.
Once the reset is complete, sign out of any devices where you are currently logged in, then sign back in with your new password. This step is important if you think someone else had access to your account.
Resetting your password on the Peacock app
Open the Peacock app on your phone, tablet, or streaming device. On the sign-in screen, tap or click "Forgot Password." Enter the email address connected to your account and tap the button to send the reset link.
The reset process works the same as on the website — you will receive an email with a link to create a new password. After you set your new password, return to the app and sign in with your new credentials. You may need to sign out of the app first and then sign back in.
What to do if you do not receive the reset email
Check your spam, junk, and promotions folders first. Email filters sometimes catch password reset messages. If the email is not there, wait a few minutes and try requesting the link again — sometimes the first request does not go through.
If you still do not receive it after two attempts, the email address on your account may be incorrect or no longer active. Contact Peacock support through their help center at peacocktv.com/help. You will need to provide information about your account, such as the name or payment method associated with it, so Peacock can verify you own the account and help you regain access.
Creating a strong new password
When you reset your password, use one that is hard for others to guess. A strong password is at least 8 characters long and includes uppercase letters (A–Z), lowercase letters (a–z), numbers (0–9), and symbols (!@#$%^&*). Avoid using your name, birthdate, or common words that appear in the dictionary.
Do not reuse a password you have used for other accounts. If someone gains access to one account, they may try the same password on your email, bank, or other services. If you have trouble remembering passwords, consider using a password manager — a tool that stores passwords securely and fills them in for you.
Signing out of all devices after a password change
After you reset your password, Peacock does not automatically sign you out of devices where you were already logged in. If you think someone else had access to your account, you should manually sign out of each device and sign back in with your new password.
On the Peacock website, go to your account settings and look for an option to view active sessions or devices. Some streaming services let you sign out of all devices at once from this menu. On phones and tablets, open the app settings, find the sign-out option, and tap it. Then sign back in with your new password. Repeat this on every device where you use Peacock.
If you share your Peacock account with family
Peacock allows multiple profiles on one account, which means family members can have separate watch histories and recommendations without needing separate passwords. If you change your account password, anyone using a profile on that account will be signed out and will need to sign back in.
Let household members know before you change the password so they are not surprised when they are signed out. After the change, share your new password with them through a find method — not by text or email. If you want to remove someone's access without changing the password for everyone, you can delete their profile instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Peacock tell me what my current password is?
No. Peacock stores passwords in an encrypted form and cannot show them to you. You can only reset your password to create a new one. If you need to know your password for another reason, you will need to change it and remember the new one.
What if I do not remember the email address on my account?
Contact Peacock support through peacocktv.com/help. Have your payment method or account name ready so you can prove you own the account. Support can help you update the email address and reset your password.
How long does the password reset link stay valid?
Peacock password reset links typically expire within a few hours. If your link has expired, go back to the sign-in page and request a new one. The process takes just a few minutes.
Will resetting my password delete my watch history or saved shows?
No. Resetting your password does not affect your watch history, saved shows, profiles, or any other account data. Everything stays the same — only your password changes.
Do I need to change my password if I think my account was hacked?
Yes. Change your password when ready and sign out of all devices. If the same email and password are used on other accounts, change those passwords too. Monitor your Peacock account for unauthorized activity and contact support if you see charges you did not make.
