Change Your Password From the Paramount+ Website

The fastest way to change your Paramount+ password is through the website on a computer or phone browser. Go to paramountplus.com, sign in with your current email and password, then look for your account menu — usually a profile icon or your name in the top right corner.

Click that menu and select Account Settings or Profile Settings. You should see a section called Password or Security. Click the option to change or update your password. Paramount+ will ask you to enter your current password first, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches. The new password takes effect when ready.

If you cannot find the password option in Account Settings, look for a Security tab or a link that says Change Password. Different devices sometimes arrange these menus slightly differently, but they all lead to the same place.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your password on any web browser by signing into paramountplus.com, opening Account Settings, and selecting the password change option.
  • Paramount+ requires you to enter your current password before creating a new one, so you must remember your existing password to make this change.
  • The password change takes effect right away on all your devices, and you will need to sign in again on any app or browser where you were already logged in.
  • If you forgot your current password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the sign-in page instead of trying to change it from Account Settings.

Change Your Password on the Paramount+ Mobile App

You can also change your password directly from the Paramount+ app on your phone or tablet. Open the app, tap the profile icon or menu button (usually three horizontal lines or dots in a corner), then look for Account, Settings, or Profile.

Tap Password or Security Settings. The app will ask you to enter your current password, then your new password twice. Confirm the change, and you are done. The process is the same whether you use an iPhone, Android phone, tablet, or streaming device app.

What Happens After You Change Your Password

Once you change your password, you stay signed in on the device you used to make the change. However, you will be signed out on other devices — phones, tablets, computers, or streaming devices where you were already logged in. This is a security feature to make sure only you can watch your account.

You will need to sign in again on those other devices using your new password. If you share your account with family members, let them know the password has changed so they can sign back in. If you see sign-ins from devices you do not recognize after changing your password, that is a sign someone else had access to your old password.

If You Forgot Your Current Password

If you cannot remember your current password, you cannot use the password change option in Account Settings — that option requires you to type your old password first. Instead, go to paramountplus.com and click Sign In. Look for a link that says Forgot Password or Forgot Your Password.

Click that link and enter the email address connected to your Paramount+ account. Paramount+ will send you a password reset email. Open that email and click the reset link inside it. You will be taken to a page where you can create a new password without needing to know the old one. This process usually takes a few minutes.

Create a Strong New Password

When you choose a new password, Paramount+ has basic requirements — usually at least 8 characters, and a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers or symbols. A strong password is one that is hard for someone else to guess.

Avoid using your name, birthdate, or common words. Do not reuse a password you have used for other accounts, especially if you use the same email address for multiple services. If you have trouble remembering passwords, consider using a password manager — a tool that stores passwords securely and fills them in for you when you sign in.

Troubleshooting Password Change Problems

If the password change does not go through, first check that you typed your new password the same way both times — passwords are case-sensitive, meaning capital and lowercase letters matter. If you see an error message, read it carefully; Paramount+ usually tells you what went wrong, such as "password too short" or "password does not meet requirements."

If you keep getting an error and cannot figure out why, try changing your password on the website instead of the app, or vice versa. If that does not work, sign out completely, close the app or browser, wait a minute, then sign back in with your old password and try again. If the problem continues, you may need to reset your password using the "Forgot Password" link instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to change my password on every device?

No. You change your password once in Account Settings, and that new password works on all your devices. However, you will be signed out everywhere and need to sign back in with the new password on each device.

What if someone else is watching my account without permission?

Change your password when ready using the steps above. After you change it, that person will be signed out and cannot watch your account anymore unless they know the new password. If you think someone has your email address too, consider changing your email password as well.

Can I change my password on a smart TV or streaming device?

Most smart TVs and streaming devices do not have a settings menu for password changes. Use the website or mobile app instead. After you change your password on those devices, sign out of the Paramount+ app on your TV, then sign back in with your new password.

How often should I change my Paramount+ password?

There is no rule that says you must change it on a schedule. Change it if you think someone knows your password, if you used the same password on another service that was hacked, or if you have not changed it in over a year. Otherwise, once is enough.

Will changing my password affect my billing or subscription?

No. Your subscription and billing information stay the same. Changing your password only affects how you sign in — it does not change your plan, your payment method, or your watch history.
