Change your Disney+ password from your account settings

To change your Disney+ password, sign into your account on a web browser, go to your account settings, find the password section, and enter a new one. The process takes about two minutes and works the same way whether you pay for Disney+ directly or through a bundle like Disney Bundle with Hulu and ESPN+.

You can change your password from any device — a computer, phone, or tablet — as long as you can access a web browser. Disney+ does not let you change your password from within the mobile app itself, so you will need to use the website.

Key Takeaways

  • Sign into Disney+ on a web browser, not the mobile app, to reach the password change option.
  • Your new password must be at least six characters long and cannot be the same as your old one.
  • Changing your password logs you out of all devices, so you will need to sign back in on each one.
  • If you cannot remember your current password, use the "Forgot password" link on the login page instead of trying to change it.

Step-by-step: changing your password on the Disney+ website

Open a web browser and go to disneyplus.com. Click the profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account" from the dropdown menu. This takes you to your account dashboard.

On the account page, look for the "Password" section under "Account Settings." Click "Change Password." Disney+ will ask you to enter your current password first, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches. Your new password must be at least six characters long.

Click "Save" when you are done. Disney+ will confirm the change and log you out of all devices automatically. You will need to sign back in on your phone, tablet, smart TV, or any other device where you watch Disney+.

What happens after you change your password

All devices connected to your Disney+ account will be signed out when ready. This is a security feature — it prevents anyone else from watching on your account if they had your old password. You will see a message on each device saying you have been signed out.

To watch Disney+ again, open the app or website on each device and sign in with your new password. You only need to do this once per device; Disney+ will remember your login until you sign out manually or change your password again.

Creating a strong password Disney+ will accept

Disney+ requires passwords to be at least six characters long, but a stronger password is longer and mixes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. For example, "BlueSky2024!" is stronger than "password" even though both meet the minimum requirement.

Your new password cannot be the same as any password you have used on this account before. If Disney+ rejects your new password and says it is too similar to a previous one, try something completely different.

Write your new password down in a safe place or use a password manager — a tool that stores passwords securely — so you do not forget it. If you do forget it later, you can use the "Forgot password" link on the Disney+ login page to reset it using your email address.

If you cannot remember your current password

If you have forgotten your current password and cannot sign into your account, you cannot use the "Change Password" option. Instead, go to disneyplus.com and click "Sign In," then click "Forgot password?" on the login page.

Disney+ will ask for the email address connected to your account. Check that email inbox for a reset link, click it, and create a new password. This process bypasses the need to know your old password.

Changing your password if you share your account

If other people in your household watch Disney+ on your account, changing your password will sign all of them out. Let them know before you make the change so they can sign back in when they are ready to watch.

If you are changing your password because someone outside your household has access to it, changing the password will remove them from all devices. They will not be able to sign back in unless you give them the new password.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to change my password from a computer, or can I use my phone?

You can use any device with a web browser — phone, tablet, or computer. Open a web browser (not the Disney+ app) and go to disneyplus.com. The steps are the same on any device.

Will changing my password affect my Disney Bundle subscription?

No. Your Disney+ password is separate from your Hulu and ESPN+ passwords. Changing one does not change the others. If you subscribe to Disney Bundle, you manage each service's password independently.

How often should I change my Disney+ password?

There is no rule requiring you to change it regularly. Change your password if you think someone else knows it, if you used the same password on another website that was hacked, or if you have not changed it in several years.

What if Disney+ says my new password is too similar to my old one?

Try a password that is completely different from your previous ones. Disney+ checks against your password history to prevent reuse. Pick something with a different combination of letters, numbers, and symbols.

Can I change my password on the Disney+ app?

No. The mobile app does not have a password change option. You must use the Disney+ website on a web browser. Open disneyplus.com in Safari, Chrome, or another browser to access account settings.
