Sign Out Remotely From Your Peacock Account
You can sign out of all devices at once through your Peacock account settings on any web browser or the mobile app. This disconnects every device that is currently logged in to your account, including phones, tablets, computers, and streaming devices like Roku or Apple TV. You do not need to physically access each device to do this.
The process takes about two minutes and requires only your Peacock password. After you sign out everywhere, you will need to log back in on any device you want to use again. This is useful if you have shared your password with others, suspect someone unauthorized is watching your account, or straightforward want to clean up old devices you no longer use.
Key Takeaways
- Sign out of all devices at once by going to Account Settings, then Security, then selecting "Sign out all other devices" or "Sign out everywhere."
- You will remain logged in on the device you are currently using; only other devices are disconnected.
- After signing out everywhere, each device will ask for your password the next time someone tries to watch Peacock.
- If you forget your password, you can reset it through the Peacock login page before signing out remotely.
Steps to Sign Out on a Computer or Phone
Open Peacock in a web browser or the mobile app and log in if you are not already. Look for the menu icon (three horizontal lines) or your profile picture in the top right corner and tap or click it. Select "Account" or "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
Once in your account settings, find the "Security" or "Devices" section. You will see a list of all devices currently logged in to your account, along with the device type and the last time it was used. Look for an option that says "Sign out all other devices," "Sign out everywhere," or "Manage devices." Tap or click that option and confirm when prompted. Peacock will then disconnect every device except the one you are currently using.
What Happens After You Sign Out Everywhere
Once you complete the sign-out, all other devices will be logged out when ready. If someone tries to open Peacock on a phone, tablet, or streaming device, they will see a login screen asking for your email and password. The device will not automatically reconnect, even if it was previously set to stay logged in.
The device you used to sign out everywhere will remain logged in. You can continue watching without interruption. If you want to log out of that device too, you can do so manually through the account menu on that specific device.
Signing Out on Streaming Devices Like Roku or Fire Stick
If you want to sign out of a specific streaming device without using the remote sign-out feature, you can do it directly on that device. Open the Peacock app on the streaming device, go to Settings or Account, and look for a "Sign Out" or "Log Out" option. Select it and confirm.
Alternatively, you can use the remote sign-out method from your phone or computer, which will disconnect the streaming device along with all others. The next time someone opens Peacock on that device, they will need to enter your login information again. Some streaming devices may take a few minutes to register the sign-out, so wait briefly before trying to log back in.
If You Cannot Access Your Account Settings
If you are locked out of your account or cannot remember your password, you will need to reset it before you can sign out remotely. Go to the Peacock login page and click "Forgot Password." Enter your email address and follow the instructions sent to your inbox. You will receive a link to create a new password.
Once you have reset your password, log back into your account and follow the steps above to sign out of all devices. If you do not receive a password reset email within a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder. If the email never arrives, contact Peacock support through their help center for additional information.
When to Sign Out of All Devices
Sign out everywhere if you have shared your password with someone you no longer want to have access, such as a friend or family member who moved out. This is also important if you suspect someone has gained unauthorized access to your account or if you notice unfamiliar devices in your device list.
You should also sign out everywhere if you are selling or giving away a phone, tablet, or streaming device. This prevents the new owner from accessing your account and viewing your watch history or saved content. After signing out, you can log back in on your new devices with your password.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be signed out on the device I am currently using?
No. When you select "sign out all other devices" or "sign out everywhere," you remain logged in on the device you are using to make the change. Only other devices are disconnected. If you want to log out of the current device too, you must do that separately through its account menu.
How long does it take for all devices to sign out?
The sign-out is usually when ready on phones and computers. Streaming devices like Roku or Fire Stick may take a few minutes to register the change. If a device does not show the login screen after five minutes, try restarting the app or the device itself.
Can I sign out of just one specific device instead of all of them?
Yes. In your Security or Devices settings, you should see a list of all logged-in devices. Most accounts allow you to select individual devices and sign out of them one at a time, rather than signing out everywhere at once. Look for a "Remove" or "Sign Out" button next to each device name.
What if someone else is watching Peacock when I sign out all devices?
Their stream will stop when ready, and they will be returned to the login screen. They will not be able to resume watching until they enter your password. If this is a household member, let them know you are signing out everywhere so they can log back in right away.
Do I need to change my password after signing out all devices?
Signing out remotely does not change your password. If you suspect someone has unauthorized access to your account, you should change your password in addition to signing out everywhere. Go to Account Settings, find the Password section, and create a new one that is different from any you have used before.
