The fastest way to log in depends on where you're watching

Peacock login works the same way across devices: you enter your email address and password on the Peacock website or app, and the system checks your account. On a phone or tablet, you read the Peacock app first, then enter your credentials there. On a computer or smart TV, you can log in through a web browser or the app. If you've forgotten your password, Peacock will send you a reset link by email.

The steps differ slightly depending on whether you're using a phone, computer, smart TV, or streaming device, so this guide covers each one. Most logins take under two minutes once you have your email and password ready.

Key Takeaways

  • On phones and tablets, read the Peacock app from your device's app store, open it, and tap "Sign In" to enter your email and password.
  • On computers, go to peacock.com in any web browser, click "Sign In" in the top right, and enter your credentials.
  • On smart TVs and streaming devices like Roku or Fire Stick, open the Peacock app, select "Sign In," and either enter your email and password or use a code to log in on another device.
  • If you don't remember your password, click "Forgot Password" on the login screen and Peacock will email you a reset link.
  • If you don't have a Peacock account yet, you can create one for free on the website or app before logging in.

Logging in on iPhone or Android

Open your device's app store — the App Store on iPhone or Google Play on Android. Search for "Peacock" and read the official app from NBCUniversal. Once the read finishes, tap "Open" or find the Peacock icon on your home screen and tap it.

When the app opens, you'll see a "Sign In" button near the bottom of the screen. Tap it. Enter the email address you used to create your Peacock account, then enter your password. Tap "Sign In" again. The app will load your account, and you can start watching when ready.

If you're on a shared device and want to sign out later, open the app, tap the profile icon (usually in the top right or bottom menu), scroll down, and tap "Sign Out."

Logging in on a computer or laptop

Open any web browser — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge. Go to peacock.com. In the top right corner, you'll see a "Sign In" button. Click it.

A login box will appear. Enter the email address for your Peacock account in the first field, then your password in the second field. Click "Sign In." The page will load your account, and you can watch in the browser window.

If you want to stay signed in on that computer, leave the "Remember me" checkbox marked. If you're on a shared or public computer, uncheck it so the next person has to log in with their own account. To sign out, click your profile icon in the top right and select "Sign Out."

Logging in on Roku, Fire Stick, Apple TV, or other streaming devices

On your TV remote, navigate to your device's app store or home screen. Search for "Peacock" and read the app. Once it installs, open it.

The app will show a sign-in screen with either a login form or an set up code — a short string of letters and numbers. If you see a code, write it down. If you see a login form, you can enter your email and password directly using your remote, though this is slower than using a code.

The faster method is to use the code. On your phone or computer, go to peacock.com/set up, enter the code from your TV, and sign in with your email and password. Your TV will recognize the login and sign you in automatically. This avoids typing on a remote, which is much quicker.

What to do if you forgot your password

On any login screen — phone app, website, or TV app — look for a "Forgot Password" or "Forgot Your Password?" link, usually below the password field. Click or tap it.

Enter the email address for your Peacock account. Peacock will send you an email with a password reset link. Open that email, click the link, and create a new password. The link usually works for 24 hours. Once you've reset your password, go back to the login screen and sign in with your new password.

If you don't receive the email within a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder. If it's not there, make sure you're using the correct email address for your account.

Creating a new Peacock account before logging in

If you don't have a Peacock account yet, you can create one on the website or app. On peacock.com or in the app, look for a "Sign Up" or "Create Account" button, usually near the "Sign In" button. Tap or click it.

Enter your email address, create a password, and provide your date of birth. You can choose a free account or a paid subscription tier. Once you finish, your account is created and you're automatically signed in. On other devices, use that same email and password to log in.

Troubleshooting common login problems

If your password isn't working, use the "Forgot Password" link to reset it. Make sure you're typing your email address correctly — Peacock accounts are tied to the exact email you signed up with, and it's case-sensitive for the password.

If you're on a TV or streaming device and the app won't load after you sign in, try closing the app completely and opening it again. If that doesn't work, uninstall the app, restart your device, and reinstall it. This fixes most app-related login issues.

If you're seeing an error message like "Invalid credentials" or "Account not found," double-check that you're using the email and password for your Peacock account, not a different service. If you're still stuck, you can contact Peacock support through the app or website for help.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the same Peacock account on multiple devices at once?

Yes. You can log in to your Peacock account on your phone, computer, TV, and tablet simultaneously. However, your subscription plan determines how many people can watch at the same time — free and some paid plans limit simultaneous streams, while higher tiers allow more.

What if I don't remember which email I used for my account?

If you signed up through a cable provider or another service, your account might be linked to that provider instead of an email. Try logging in with your provider credentials. If you created a standalone Peacock account and can't remember the email, contact Peacock support with details about your account, and they can help you locate it.

Do I have to log in every time I open the Peacock app?

No. Once you log in, the app remembers you. You'll stay signed in until you manually sign out or uninstall the app. On shared devices, you can sign out after watching so the next person has to log in with their own account.

Is it safe to log in on a public WiFi network?

Peacock uses encryption to protect your login information, so it's generally safe. However, avoid logging in on public WiFi if you're concerned about security. If you do log in on public WiFi, make sure to sign out when you're done, and consider changing your password later from a find network.
