Change your Paramount+ password from the account settings page on any device

To change your Paramount+ password, log in to your account on the Paramount+ website or app, go to Account Settings, select Password, enter your current password, type your new password twice, and save the change. The process takes about two minutes. Your new password takes effect when ready across all devices — you will stay logged in on the device you used to make the change, but other devices will ask you to log in again the next time you try to watch something.

You can change your password from a phone, tablet, computer, or streaming device. The steps are nearly identical on all of them. If you have forgotten your current password, you will need to use the "Forgot password" link instead, which sends a reset link to the email address on file.

Key Takeaways

  • Log into Paramount+ on any device, navigate to Account Settings, and select Password to change it without needing to log out.
  • Your new password must be at least 8 characters long and should include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols for better security.
  • After you change your password, you will be logged out of all other devices and will need to log in again with your new password.
  • If you cannot remember your current password, use the "Forgot password" option on the login screen to reset it by email.
  • Change your password when ready if you suspect someone else has accessed your account or if you have shared your login with others you no longer trust.

Step-by-step password change on a computer or phone

Start by going to the Paramount+ website (paramount.com) or opening the Paramount+ app on your phone. Log in with your email address and current password if you are not already signed in. Once you are on the home screen, look for a menu icon — on the website it is usually your profile picture in the top right corner, and on the phone app it is often three horizontal lines or a gear icon at the bottom of the screen.

Tap or click on Account Settings or My Account. You should see a list of options including Password, Email, Payment Method, and Subscription. Select Password. Paramount+ will ask you to enter your current password again as a security check. Type it in and continue. Now enter your new password in the first blank, then type it again in the second blank to confirm you did not make a typo. Click Save or Confirm. You will see a message saying your password has been changed successfully.

What makes a strong Paramount+ password

Paramount+ requires passwords to be at least 8 characters long. A strong password uses a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols — for example, "BlueSky#2024River" or "Paramount$Watch99". Avoid using the same password across multiple streaming services or email accounts. If one service is breached, hackers will try that password on your other accounts.

Do not use personal information like your birth date, address, or the names of family members, even if you add numbers to the end. These details are often public or straightforward to guess. A password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or KeePass can generate and store strong passwords for you so you do not have to remember them.

Why you should change your password regularly

Change your Paramount+ password if you have shared your login with someone you no longer live with or trust, if you used the same password on another service that was breached, or if you have not changed it in over a year. You should also change it when ready if you notice unfamiliar viewing history, if someone else has added a payment method to your account, or if Paramount+ sends you a security alert.

Changing your password logs out all other devices automatically. This is a feature, not a bug — it means if someone else was watching on your account, they will be forced to log in again with the new password. If you live with people who share your account legitimately, give them the new password so they can log back in.

What to do if you forgot your password

Go to the Paramount+ login page and click "Forgot password" below the password field. Enter the email address associated with your account. Paramount+ will send a password reset link to that email. Check your inbox and your spam folder — the email usually arrives within a few minutes. Click the link in the email, which will take you to a page where you can create a new password.

The reset link typically expires after 24 hours, so use it soon after you request it. If you do not receive the email, make sure you are using the correct email address. If you are still stuck, contact Paramount+ support through the Help section on their website — they can verify your identity and help you regain access to your account.

Logging back in on other devices after a password change

When you change your password, Paramount+ logs you out of all devices except the one you used to make the change. The next time someone tries to watch on another device — a tablet, smart TV, gaming console, or a second phone — they will see a login screen. They will need to enter your email address and the new password to continue watching.

This happens automatically and is not an error. It is a security measure to prevent unauthorized access. If you have multiple people in your household who watch Paramount+, let them know about the password change so they are not surprised when they are asked to log in again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my Paramount+ password without logging out of all my devices?

No. Changing your password automatically logs you out everywhere except the device you used to make the change. This is a security feature. If you want to stay logged in on a specific device, change your password on that device.

What if I change my password and then forget the new one right away?

Use the "Forgot password" link on the login screen. Paramount+ will send a reset link to your email address. You do not need to remember your old password to reset it — you only need access to the email account associated with your Paramount+ account.

Does changing my Paramount+ password affect my other streaming accounts?

No. Your Paramount+ password is separate from your passwords for Disney+, Netflix, HBO Max, and other services. Changing one does not affect the others. If you use the same password across multiple services, you would need to change each one separately.

Will I lose my watch history or saved shows if I change my password?

No. Your watch history, saved shows, and all your account settings stay exactly the same. Changing your password only changes how you log in — it does not affect any of your account data or viewing preferences.

How often should I change my Paramount+ password?

Change it at least once a year, or sooner if you suspect someone else has accessed your account, if you shared your login with someone you no longer trust, or if you used the same password on another service that was breached.
