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

Logging into Peacock takes less than a minute on most devices. On a phone or tablet, you open the app, tap "Log In", enter your email and password, and you're done. On a TV or web browser, you can either enter your credentials directly or use a code-based sign-in that lets you log in on your phone instead — useful if you don't have a keyboard handy. The method you choose doesn't matter; all three routes lead to the same account.

Before you start, have your email address and password ready. If you've forgotten your password, Peacock will send you a reset link by email, which takes a few minutes. If you don't remember which email you used to create your account, check your email inbox for a confirmation message from Peacock — it will show the address on file.

Key Takeaways

  • On phones and tablets, open the Peacock app, tap "Log In", and enter your email and password.
  • On web browsers, go to peacocktv.com, click "Log In" in the top right, and enter your credentials.
  • On smart TVs and streaming devices, you can enter your email and password directly or use a code-based sign-in from your phone.
  • If you forget your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login screen to reset it by email.
  • Once logged in, your account syncs across all devices, so you can pick up where you left off on any screen.

Logging in on your phone or tablet

read the Peacock app from the Apple App Store (for iPhone and iPad) or Google Play Store (for Android phones and tablets). Open the app and tap the "Log In" button, usually at the bottom of the screen. Enter the email address associated with your Peacock account and your password, then tap "Log In" again.

If you see a prompt asking whether you want to stay logged in, tap "Yes" — this keeps you signed in so you don't have to enter your credentials every time you open the app. If you're on a shared device and prefer to log out after each session, tap "No" instead.

Logging in on a web browser

Go to peacocktv.com in any web browser on your computer or tablet. In the top right corner, click "Log In". Enter your email address and password, then click "Log In" again. You'll be taken to your account homepage.

If you want the browser to remember your login, look for a checkbox that says "Remember me" or "Keep me logged in" before you click the final "Log In" button. On a shared computer, leave this unchecked so the next person who visits the site has to log in separately.

Logging in on a smart TV or streaming device

Open the Peacock app on your TV or streaming device (Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV, Google TV, or others). You'll see a login screen with two options: enter your email and password directly, or use a code-based sign-in.

If you choose the code option, the TV will display a four-character code. On your phone or computer, go to peacocktv.com/set up, enter that code, and log in with your email and password. This method is faster if your TV remote doesn't have a full keyboard. Once you enter the code on your phone, the TV automatically logs in and takes you to the home screen.

If you prefer to enter your credentials directly on the TV, use the remote to navigate the on-screen keyboard. This works but is slower than the code method on most remotes.

What to do if you can't remember your password

On any login screen, look for a link that says "Forgot Password" or "Forgot Your Password?" Click or tap it. Enter the email address associated with your Peacock account. Peacock will send a password reset link to that email address within a few minutes.

Open the email from Peacock and click the reset link. You'll be taken to a page where you can create a new password. Make sure your new password is at least eight characters long and includes a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols if possible — this makes your account harder to hack. Once you've set your new password, go back to the login screen and sign in with your email and the new password.

If you don't see the reset email in your inbox after five minutes, check your spam or junk folder. If it's not there, go back to the "Forgot Password" page and try again, or double-check that you entered the correct email address.

Staying logged in across multiple devices

Once you log in on one device, your account is active on that device only. You can log in separately on as many devices as you own — your phone, tablet, computer, and TV can all be logged into the same Peacock account at the same time. Your watch history and saved shows sync across all of them, so if you start watching a show on your phone, you can continue from that same spot on your TV.

If you want to log out of a device, open the Peacock app or website, go to your account settings (usually found in a menu or profile icon), and select "Log Out". This removes your login from that device only and doesn't affect your account on other devices.

Troubleshooting common login problems

If you see an error message saying your email or password is incorrect, double-check that you're typing them exactly as you set them up. Passwords are case-sensitive, meaning capital letters matter. If you're still stuck, use the "Forgot Password" option to reset it.

If the app or website won't load at all, check that you have an active internet connection. Try closing the app completely and opening it again, or refresh the web page. If you're on an older device, make sure your operating system is up to date — very old phones or tablets may not run the latest version of the Peacock app.

If you're trying to log in on a TV and the code-based sign-in isn't working, make sure you're entering the code correctly on peacocktv.com/set up. The code is case-sensitive and expires after a few minutes, so if you wait too long, you'll need to generate a new one on your TV.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I log into Peacock on multiple devices at the same time?

Yes. You can be logged in on your phone, tablet, computer, and TV simultaneously. Your watch history and saved shows sync across all devices, so you can start watching on one device and continue on another.

What should I do if someone else is logged into my account?

Log in to your account on any device, go to account settings, and look for an option to "Sign Out of All Devices" or "Manage Active Sessions". This logs out everyone except the device you're currently using. Then change your password to prevent unauthorized access in the future.

Do I need a different login for Peacock Premium and Peacock Free?

No. You use the same email and password for both. Your subscription level (Free or Premium) is tied to your account, not your login. If you upgrade or downgrade, you log in the same way.

Can I log in with my cable provider account instead of creating a Peacock account?

Some cable providers allow you to sign in with your provider credentials, but most require you to create a separate Peacock account. Check the login screen on the device you're using — if your provider is listed, you can tap it to sign in that way. Otherwise, create a Peacock account with your email address.

How long does it take to reset my password?

The reset email usually arrives within a few minutes. If you don't see it after five minutes, check your spam folder or try requesting a new reset link. Once you click the link in the email, you can create a new password when ready.
