Change your Disney+ password from any device in under five minutes

You can change your Disney+ password on the Disney+ website, through the Disney+ app, or through your Disney account page — whichever you have easiest access to right now. The process takes the same steps no matter which route you pick: log in, find account settings, enter your current password, type your new password twice, and confirm. You do not need to log out of other devices or restart the app afterward, though Disney+ will ask you to sign back in on any device where you want to keep watching.

The reason to change your password is usually one of three: you think someone else knows it, you use the same password on multiple sites and one of them got hacked, or you straightforward want a stronger one. Each reason points to the same action — a new password — but the urgency and next steps differ slightly. If you suspect someone is actively using your account, change the password first, then review who has access and remove devices you do not recognize.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your password through the Disney+ app, the Disney+ website, or your Disney account page at account.disney.com.
  • Disney+ will not force you to log out of other devices after a password change, but you will need to sign back in if you want to keep watching on them.
  • A strong password is at least 12 characters long, mixes uppercase and lowercase letters, includes numbers and symbols, and is not a word from the dictionary.
  • If you suspect someone else is using your account, change your password, then sign out all other devices and review which devices have access.

Change your password through the Disney+ app

Open the Disney+ app on any phone, tablet, or streaming device where you are already signed in. Tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner (it looks like a circle with a person inside). Tap "Account" or "Settings" — the exact label depends on your device, but it is the first option in the menu. Tap "Change Password" or "Password" (again, the wording varies slightly by device).

Type your current password in the first box. Type your new password in the second box, then type it again in the third box to confirm you did not make a typo. Tap "Save" or "Confirm." The app will show a message saying your password has been changed. You can close the app and keep watching — you do not need to sign out or restart.

Change your password on the Disney+ website

Go to disneyplus.com and sign in if you are not already. Click your profile icon in the top right corner. Click "Account" from the dropdown menu. On the Account page, look for "Password" or "Change Password" in the left sidebar or under a "Security" section. Click it.

Type your current password, then type your new password twice. Click "Save Changes" or "Update." Disney+ will confirm the change and return you to your account page. Like the app, you do not need to sign out of other devices — but if you want to watch on another device, you will need to sign back in with your new password the next time you open the app.

Change your password through your Disney account page

If you have a Disney account that covers multiple Disney services (Disney+, ESPN+, Hulu, or Disney Bundle), you can change the password for all of them at once through account.disney.com. Go to that page and sign in. Click "Account" in the top menu. Click "Password" in the left sidebar under "Security Settings."

Type your current password, then type your new password twice and click "Save." This password change applies to every Disney service linked to that account, not just Disney+. If you use the same Disney account for ESPN+ or Hulu, you will need to sign back into those apps as well.

What makes a strong Disney+ password

A strong password is one that is hard for someone else to guess or crack, even if they know your email address or have seen you type it. The basics: at least 12 characters long, a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, at least one number, and at least one symbol like ! @ # $ % or &. Avoid words from the dictionary, your name, your birth year, or anything that appears in your email address.

A password like "BlueSky2024!" is weak because it uses a common word and a predictable number. A password like "Tr0pic@lSunset#42xK" is stronger because it mixes character types and does not follow a pattern. You do not need to memorize it — use a password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or the password manager built into your phone to store it securely. That way you can use a different strong password for each service you use.

What to do if you think someone else is using your account

Change your password first using one of the three methods above. Then go back to your account page and look for a section called "Devices" or "Active Sessions" — the exact name depends on whether you are on the Disney+ app or the Disney account page. This section shows every device that is currently signed into your account.

Review the list. You should see the devices you actually use — your phone, your TV, your tablet, or your computer. If you see a device you do not recognize, click it and select "Sign Out" or "Remove." Disney+ will when ready log that device out of your account. If you see many unfamiliar devices, consider changing your password again after you remove them, because someone may have written down your old password.

What happens after you change your password

Your new password takes effect when ready. Any device where you are currently signed in will keep working — you do not get logged out automatically. The next time you open Disney+ on a different device, or the next time your current session expires (which can take weeks or months depending on the device), you will be asked to sign in again. At that point, use your new password.

If you change your password on purpose and you own all the devices on your account, there is nothing else you need to do. If you suspect someone else was using your account, sign out all devices except the ones you actually use, then monitor your account for a few weeks to make sure no unfamiliar devices appear again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to change my password on every device?

No. You change your password once through the app, website, or Disney account page, and it takes effect everywhere. You do not need to go into settings on your TV, phone, or tablet separately. You will just need to sign back in with the new password the next time you open the app on each device.

What if I forget my new password right after I change it?

Go to disneyplus.com and click "Sign In." Click "Forgot Password?" and enter your email address. Disney+ will send you a link to reset your password. Click the link in the email and create a new password. This works whether you forgot it five minutes ago or five days ago.

Will changing my password affect my billing or my shows?

No. Your subscription, your watch history, your saved shows, and your payment method all stay exactly the same. A password change only affects how you sign in — nothing else on your account changes.

Can I use the same password I used before?

Disney+ will let you, but it defeats the purpose of changing it. If someone guessed or stole your old password, using it again means they can still access your account. Pick a new password that is different from any password you have used before on Disney+ or any other service.

What if I share my Disney+ account with family — do they need to know the new password?

Only if they sign in on their own device. If they have their own profile on a shared TV or streaming device, they do not need to know the password — they just tap their profile and watch. If they sign in on their own phone or tablet, they will need the new password the next time they open the app. You can tell them the new password, or they can use the "Forgot Password?" link to reset it themselves.
