Log out of Peacock on your phone, tablet, computer, and streaming device
To log out of Peacock, open the app or website, go to your account settings, and select the sign-out option. The exact steps differ slightly depending on whether you're using a phone, tablet, computer, or streaming device like Roku or Apple TV. If you want to log out everywhere at once—on every device where you're signed in—you can do that from your account settings on the web, and it takes about one minute.
The most common reason to log out everywhere is security: if you've used Peacock on a device you no longer own or no longer trust, signing out remotely prevents anyone else from watching under your account. You can also log out of individual devices one at a time if you only want to remove access from one place.
Key Takeaways
- On your phone or tablet, open Peacock, tap your profile icon, scroll to Account, and tap Sign Out.
- On a computer, log into Peacock.com, click your profile icon in the top right, and select Sign Out.
- On a streaming device like Roku or Fire TV, go to Settings, find Account, and choose Sign Out or Remove Account.
- To sign out of Peacock on every device at once, log into Peacock.com on a computer, go to Account Settings, find Active Devices, and select Sign Out Everywhere.
- After you sign out, you'll need to enter your email and password again the next time you want to watch.
How to log out on iPhone or Android
Open the Peacock app and tap the profile icon at the bottom right of the screen. Scroll down until you see the Account section. Tap Account, then scroll to the bottom of that page and tap Sign Out. The app will confirm that you've been signed out, and you'll return to the login screen.
If you're using a shared phone or tablet and want to make sure no one can access your account, signing out is the safest option. The next person who opens Peacock will see the login screen and won't be able to watch without your email and password.
How to log out on a computer or laptop
Go to Peacock.com and log in if you're not already signed in. Look for your profile icon in the top right corner of the page and click it. A dropdown menu will appear with several options, including Sign Out. Click Sign Out, and you'll be logged out of that browser on that computer.
If you use multiple browsers on the same computer (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge), you'll need to sign out of each one separately because each browser keeps its own login session. Signing out in Chrome won't sign you out in Safari, for example.
How to log out on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, and other streaming devices
The steps vary slightly by device, but the general path is: go to Settings, find your Account or Profile section, and look for a Sign Out or Remove Account option.
On Roku: From the Peacock app home screen, press the Options button on your remote (usually marked with three dots or lines). Select Settings, then Account, then Sign Out.
On Amazon Fire TV: Open Peacock and press the Menu button on your remote. Go to Settings, then Account, then Sign Out.
On Apple TV: Open Peacock, go to the top menu, select Settings, then Account, then Sign Out.
On Google TV or Android TV: Open Peacock, press the Menu button, go to Settings, select Account, then Sign Out.
If you can't find the sign-out option on your device, look for Remove Account or Unlink Account instead—these options remove Peacock from that device and log you out at the same time.
How to sign out of Peacock on all devices at once
If you want to log out everywhere—your phone, tablet, computer, and all streaming devices—you can do this from one place. Go to Peacock.com on a computer and log in. Click your profile icon in the top right, then select Account Settings.
Look for a section called Active Devices, Devices, or Manage Devices (the exact name varies). You'll see a list of every device you're currently signed into. Find the option that says Sign Out Everywhere, Sign Out All Devices, or Remove All Devices, and click it. Peacock will ask you to confirm, and then you'll be signed out everywhere.
After you sign out everywhere, you'll need to sign back in on any device where you want to watch. This is useful if you think your password has been compromised or if you've lent your account to someone and want to revoke access when ready.
What happens after you sign out
Once you've signed out, the Peacock app or website will show the login screen. You won't be able to watch anything until you sign back in with your email address and password. Any shows you were watching will stop, and your viewing history won't be saved from that point forward.
If you sign out on a device you own and plan to use again, you can sign back in anytime. If you sign out on a device you're selling or giving away, the next person won't be able to access your account unless they know your password.
Troubleshooting: what to do if sign out isn't working
If the Sign Out button isn't appearing or isn't working, try closing the app completely and opening it again. On a phone, swipe up from the bottom of the screen (iPhone) or press the back button repeatedly (Android) to close the app fully, then reopen it.
If you're on a computer and the Sign Out option doesn't appear, try clearing your browser's cookies and cache, then reload Peacock.com. If that doesn't work, try a different browser.
If you're locked out of your account or can't remember your password, you'll need to use the Forgot Password option on the Peacock login screen. Enter your email address, and Peacock will send you a link to reset your password. Once you've reset it, you can sign back in on any device.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sign out of Peacock on one device without signing out on others?
Yes. Sign out on each device individually using the steps above. Only use the Sign Out Everywhere option if you want to log out on every device at once. Signing out on your phone won't affect your computer or streaming devices.
If I sign out, will I lose my watchlist or viewing history?
No. Your watchlist and viewing history are tied to your Peacock account, not to any individual device. When you sign back in on any device, you'll see the same watchlist and history you had before.
Do I need to sign out before selling or giving away a device?
Yes, you should sign out before handing over any device where you've used Peacock. If you forget, you can sign out remotely by using the Sign Out Everywhere option from another device, or by changing your Peacock password.
What if I sign out but the app is still showing my name?
Close the app completely and reopen it. If your name still appears, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Peacock app. After reinstalling, the app should show the login screen.
