Change your Disney+ password from your account settings on any device

Open Disney+ on your phone, tablet, computer, or streaming device and go to your account settings. Select the option to change your password, enter your current password, type your new password twice to confirm it, and save. The change takes effect when ready across all devices where you are signed in. If you have forgotten your current password, Disney+ will let you reset it using your email address instead.

The exact location of the password change option varies slightly depending on which device you use, but the process is the same on all of them. You do not need to sign out and back in — Disney+ keeps you logged in while you make the change.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your password from the account settings menu on any device where Disney+ is installed, without needing a computer.
  • Disney+ requires you to enter your current password before setting a new one, unless you have forgotten it and use the email reset option instead.
  • The password change takes effect right away on all devices, but you stay signed in and do not need to log back in.
  • If you share your Disney+ account with family members, changing the password will not sign them out — they remain logged in until they manually sign out or their session expires.

Step-by-step instructions for phone and tablet

Open the Disney+ app and tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner. Tap your account name at the top of the menu. Scroll down and tap "Change Password" or "Password" depending on your device. Enter the password you use now, then type your new password in the next field. Type the new password again in the confirmation field to make sure you did not make a typo. Tap "Save" or "Confirm" to finish.

On both iPhone and Android, the steps are identical. If you do not see a "Change Password" option, make sure you are signed into the correct account — tap the profile icon again and check the account name at the top.

Step-by-step instructions for computer and web browser

Go to disneyplus.com and sign in if you are not already. Click the profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account" from the dropdown menu. Click "Change Password" on the left side of the page. Enter your current password in the first field. Type your new password in the second field and again in the third field to confirm it. Click "Save Changes" at the bottom.

This method works the same way on Windows, Mac, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge. If you are using a shared computer, make sure you are signed into your own Disney+ account before you start — the password you change belongs to whichever account is currently logged in.

Step-by-step instructions for streaming devices

On Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Google TV, or Samsung TV, open Disney+ and navigate to your profile icon using the remote. Select "Account" or "Settings." Find "Change Password" in the menu. Use the on-screen keyboard to enter your current password, then your new password twice. Select "Save" or "Confirm" to complete the change.

The on-screen keyboard on streaming devices is slower than typing on a phone or computer, so take your time and double-check each character. If the keyboard is difficult to use, you can change your password on your phone or computer instead — the change will sync to your streaming device automatically.

What to do if you have forgotten your current password

On the password change screen, look for a link that says "Forgot your password?" or "Don't remember your password?" Click or tap it. Disney+ will send a password reset link to the email address connected to your account. Open that email and click the link inside it. You will be taken to a page where you can create a new password without needing to know the old one. Type your new password twice and save it.

The reset email usually arrives within a few minutes. Check your spam or junk folder if you do not see it in your inbox. Once you have set a new password through the email link, you can sign back into Disney+ on any device using that new password.

Changing your password does not sign out other users

If you share your Disney+ account with family members or roommates, changing your password will not automatically sign them out. They will stay logged in on their devices until they manually sign out, their session expires after a period of inactivity, or Disney+ logs them out due to account activity rules.

If you want to sign out everyone on the account and force them to log back in with the new password, you can do that through your account settings on the Disney+ website. Go to "Account," then "Sign Out Everywhere" or "Log Out All Devices." This will end all active sessions on the account, and anyone who wants to watch will need to sign in again using the new password.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my Disney+ password without knowing my current password?

No, Disney+ requires your current password to change it — unless you have forgotten it. If you do not remember your password, use the "Forgot your password?" link on the change password screen to reset it using your email address instead.

Will changing my password sign me out of Disney+ on all my devices?

No. Changing your password keeps you signed in on all devices. You stay logged in and can keep watching without interruption. If you want to sign everyone out and force them to log back in, use the "Sign Out Everywhere" option in your account settings on the website.

What should I do if I cannot find the change password option?

Make sure you are signed into the correct account by checking the profile name or email at the top of the account menu. If you are on a streaming device, try changing your password on your phone or computer instead, where the menu is easier to navigate. The change will sync to all devices automatically.

How often should I change my Disney+ password?

There is no rule about how often you must change it. Change your password if you think someone else knows it, if you have shared it with someone who no longer watches, or if you use the same password on multiple websites and one of those sites has been hacked. Otherwise, once a year is a reasonable practice.
