Remove a user from Peacock by signing into your account settings and deleting their profile

To remove someone from your Peacock account, sign in to your account on a web browser, go to Account Settings, select Manage Profiles, and delete the profile you want to remove. The person will lose access to that profile when ready, though they can still watch on any other profiles on the account. If you want to remove them entirely, you will need to change your account password so they cannot sign back in.

Peacock allows up to four profiles per account, and each profile has its own watch history and recommendations. Removing a profile does not affect the main account or other profiles. The deleted profile's watch history and settings are permanently erased.

Key Takeaways

  • Deleting a profile from Account Settings removes that person's access to their specific profile, but they can still use other profiles on the same account unless you change the password.
  • You must be signed in as the account owner or an admin profile to delete other profiles.
  • Changing your account password will sign everyone out and prevent anyone without the new password from logging back in.
  • If someone is using your account without permission, change your password when ready and consider enabling a PIN for profile access.

Step-by-step: Delete a profile from your account

Open a web browser and go to peacock.com. Sign in with your account email and password. Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select Account Settings.

In Account Settings, find the Manage Profiles section. You will see all four available profile slots. Next to the profile you want to remove, click the delete or trash icon. Peacock will ask you to confirm the deletion. Click Delete Profile again to complete the removal.

The profile is now gone, and anyone who was using it will be signed out. If they try to sign back in on a device, they will see only the remaining profiles on the account.

Change your password to remove access completely

Deleting a profile only removes that one profile—the person can still sign into other profiles on your account if they know your password. To prevent this, change your account password.

In Account Settings, look for the Password section. Click Change Password. Enter your current password, then type your new password twice. Click Save. Peacock will sign everyone out of all devices when ready. Only people who know the new password can sign back in.

This is the most effective way to remove someone if they have been using your account without permission or if you want to may support they cannot access any profile.

Set up a PIN to protect individual profiles

If you want to keep someone on the account but prevent them from watching certain profiles, you can add a PIN to specific profiles. This way, they can see the profile exists but cannot watch it without entering the PIN.

Go to Account Settings and select Manage Profiles. Click on the profile you want to protect. Scroll down to find the Profile PIN option and toggle it on. Create a four-digit PIN. Save your changes. Now anyone trying to watch that profile will need to enter the PIN first.

This is useful if you share an account with family members but want to keep adult or premium content separate.

What happens when you delete a profile

When you delete a profile, Peacock removes all data tied to that profile: watch history, saved shows, recommendations, and viewing preferences. This action cannot be undone. If you delete a profile by mistake, you will need to create a new one from scratch.

The person who was using that profile will be signed out of all devices. If they try to open Peacock on their phone, tablet, or TV, they will see only the remaining profiles. They cannot recover the deleted profile or its data.

Remove someone from a shared account on mobile or TV

You cannot delete profiles from the Peacock mobile app or TV app. You must use a web browser and go to peacock.com to access Account Settings and Manage Profiles. Sign in on any computer, phone browser, or tablet browser to make changes.

After you delete a profile on the web, the change takes effect on all devices within a few minutes. Anyone using that profile on a phone, tablet, or TV will be signed out and will not see that profile anymore.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I remove someone without changing the password?

Yes. Deleting their profile removes their access to that specific profile. However, if they know your account password, they can still sign in and use other profiles on the account. To completely prevent access, you must change the password.

Will deleting a profile affect my other profiles?

No. Deleting one profile does not change any other profiles, your account settings, or your subscription. Each profile is separate, and removing one has no effect on the others.

What if someone keeps signing back in after I delete their profile?

They are signing in with your account password and choosing a different profile. Change your password when ready. This will sign everyone out and prevent them from logging back in unless they have the new password.

Can I delete the main account profile?

No. The main profile (usually the account owner's profile) cannot be deleted. You can only delete the three additional profiles you create. If you want to remove the account entirely, you must cancel your Peacock subscription.

How long does it take for the deletion to show on all devices?

Profile deletions take effect within a few minutes across all devices. If someone is actively watching on a device when you delete their profile, they will be signed out the next time they try to play something or refresh the app.
