Change your password from the Disney+ website or app
Log into your Disney+ account on a web browser, go to your account settings, and select "Change password" under the security section. You will need your current password to confirm the change. The new password takes effect when ready across all devices where you are signed in.
If you prefer to change it on your phone or tablet, open the Disney+ app, tap your profile icon in the bottom right corner, select "Account," then "Security," and choose "Change password." The process is the same — you enter your old password, create a new one, and confirm it.
After you change your password, Disney+ will sign you out of all active sessions on other devices within a few minutes. You will need to sign back in with your new password on any device you want to keep using.
Key Takeaways
- You can change your Disney+ password through the website account settings or through the app's profile menu.
- Disney+ requires your current password to confirm any change, so you must remember it to proceed.
- The new password signs you out of all other devices automatically, so you will need to log back in on phones, tablets, and streaming devices.
- If you forgot your password, use the "Forgot password" link on the login screen instead of trying to change it from account settings.
- A strong password includes uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols to protect your account from unauthorized access.
Step-by-step on the Disney+ website
Go to disneyplus.com and sign in with your email and current password. Once you are logged in, click your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account" from the dropdown menu.
On the account page, look for the "Security" section on the left side. Click "Change password." Enter your current password in the first field, then type your new password twice — once in the "New password" field and again in the "Confirm password" field. Click "Save" when you are done.
Disney+ will confirm that your password has been changed. You may see a message telling you that you have been signed out of other devices. This is normal and expected.
Step-by-step on the Disney+ app
Open the Disney+ app on your phone or tablet and tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner. Select "Account" from the menu that appears.
Tap "Security" and then "Change password." Enter your current password, then type your new password twice. Tap "Save" or "Confirm" depending on your device. The app will confirm the change and begin signing you out of other devices.
What happens after you change your password
Disney+ automatically logs you out of every device except the one you used to make the change. This usually happens within a few minutes. On your phone, tablet, computer, or streaming device, you will see a message asking you to sign in again.
When you sign back in, use your email address and your new password. If you have multiple people in your household using Disney+, each person will need to sign in again with their own account credentials. Shared passwords do not work — each person needs their own Disney+ account.
If a device does not prompt you to sign in after 10 minutes, try opening the app and signing out manually, then signing back in with your new password.
If you forgot your current password
You cannot change your password from account settings if you do not remember the current one. Instead, go to disneyplus.com and click "Sign in." On the login page, click "Forgot password?" below the password field.
Enter your email address and Disney+ will send you a password reset link. Check your email inbox and spam folder for a message from Disney+. Click the link in the email, create a new password, and confirm it. You will then be able to sign in with your new password.
Creating a strong password Disney+ will accept
Disney+ requires passwords to be at least 8 characters long and include at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one special character like ! @ # $ % or &. An example of a strong password is "BlueMouse42!Park" — it mixes capital and lowercase letters, includes a number, and has a special character.
Avoid using the same password across multiple accounts. If someone gains access to one account, they can try that password on your other services. A password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or the password manager built into your phone can store unique passwords securely so you do not have to remember them.
Do not use personal information like your birth date, address, or the names of family members. These are straightforward to guess if someone knows you. Do not reuse a password you have used on Disney+ before — Disney+ will reject it.
Troubleshooting password change problems
If you see an error message saying "Password does not meet requirements," check that your password is at least 8 characters, includes uppercase and lowercase letters, has at least one number, and has at least one special character. Copy and paste your password into a text editor to make sure there are no extra spaces.
If the change appears to go through but you cannot sign in with your new password, wait 5 to 10 minutes and try again. Disney+ sometimes takes a few minutes to update the change across its servers. If you still cannot sign in after 15 minutes, use the "Forgot password?" link to reset it again.
If you are signed into multiple Disney+ accounts on the same device and you change the password on one account, only that account will be signed out. Other accounts on the device will remain signed in until their passwords are changed or they are manually signed out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to change my password on every device?
No. When you change your password on one device, Disney+ automatically signs you out everywhere else. You only need to sign back in on the devices you use regularly. You do not have to do anything on devices where you are already signed out.
Can I change my password if I share my Disney+ account with family?
Yes, but changing the password will sign everyone out of the account. Each person will need to sign back in with the new password. If you want different people to have different access levels, Disney+ allows you to create separate profiles for each person, but they all share the same login password.
What if someone else has access to my Disney+ account?
Change your password when ready using the steps above. If you think someone has your email password as well, change that password too. Check your Disney+ account settings to see if there are any unknown profiles or if the email address on file has been changed. If you see suspicious activity, contact Disney+ support through the help section in your account.
How often should I change my Disney+ password?
There is no set rule, but changing it once or twice a year is reasonable for most people. Change it sooner if you have shared your password with someone who no longer should have access, if you used the same password on another service that was hacked, or if you think someone has seen your password.
Will changing my password affect my billing or subscription?
No. Your subscription and billing information are separate from your password. Changing your password does not change your plan, cancel your subscription, or affect any charges. Your payment method stays the same.
