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

To change your Paramount+ password, sign into your account on a web browser or the Paramount+ app, go to Account Settings, select Password, enter your current password, type your new password twice, and save. The process takes about two minutes and works the same way whether you use a phone, tablet, computer, or streaming device — though the exact menu path varies slightly by device type.

You do not need to sign out of other devices or restart the app after changing your password. Your new password takes effect when ready, but you will stay logged in on any device where you were already signed in. The next time you open Paramount+ on a different device, you will need to enter your new password.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your password from a web browser, phone app, tablet, or streaming device — the steps are nearly identical across all platforms.
  • Your current password is required to set a new one, so have it ready before you start.
  • The new password takes effect right away, but you stay logged in on devices where you were already signed in.
  • A strong password should be at least 8 characters and include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

Change your password on a computer or phone browser

Open a web browser and go to paramountplus.com. Sign in with your email address and current password. Once you are logged in, look for your profile icon or account menu — usually in the top right corner of the page. Click it and select Account Settings or My Account.

Find the Password or Security section. Click Change Password or Edit Password. 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. Make sure both new passwords match exactly. Click Save or Update to finish. You will see a confirmation message that your password has been changed.

Change your password on the Paramount+ app

Open the Paramount+ app on your phone or tablet. Tap the profile icon at the bottom right of the screen (on some devices it may be in the top right). Select Account Settings or Settings. Look for Password or Security Settings. Tap Change Password or Edit Password.

Enter your current password. Type your new password twice to confirm it matches. Tap Save or Update. The app will confirm that your password has been changed. You can now close the settings menu and return to watching.

Change your password on a streaming device or smart TV

Open the Paramount+ app on your streaming device (Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Google TV, or similar). Navigate to your profile or account menu using the remote. Select Account Settings or Settings. Find Password or Security.

Select Change Password. Use the on-screen keyboard to enter your current password. Enter your new password twice. Confirm the change. Because typing on a streaming device is slower, consider using a strong password you can remember — or change it on your phone or computer first, then update it on the TV later if needed.

Create a password that is hard to guess

A strong password should be at least 8 characters long and mix uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. For example: BlueSky#2024River or Paramount$Watch9. Avoid using your name, birthdate, or common words that appear in the dictionary.

Do not reuse a password from another streaming service or email account. If you use the same password everywhere and one service gets hacked, someone could access all your accounts. A password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or the one built into your phone can store strong passwords so you do not have to remember them.

What to do if you forget your password

If you cannot remember your current password, you cannot change it from the settings menu — you will need to reset it instead. Go to paramountplus.com and click Forgot Password or Sign In Help. Enter the email address connected to your account. Paramount+ will send you a link to reset your password. Check your email (including spam folders) and click the reset link. Create a new password and save it.

The reset link usually works for 24 hours. If it expires, you can request a new one. After you reset your password, you will be signed out on all devices. You will need to sign back in with your new password on each device where you use Paramount+.

Why you might want to change your password

Change your password if you think someone else knows it, if you used the same password on another service that was hacked, or if you have not changed it in over a year. You should also change it if you shared your login with someone who no longer watches with you — they will lose access once you change the password.

If you share your Paramount+ account with family members, changing the password will sign them out. Let them know before you make the change so they can sign back in. Paramount+ allows multiple profiles on one account, so if you want to keep shared access but separate viewing history, creating a new profile for each person is a better option than sharing a password.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to change my password on every device?

No. Change it once in Account Settings, and it updates everywhere. You stay logged in on devices where you were already signed in. On a new device, you will enter the new password when you sign in for the first time.

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

Go to paramountplus.com, click Forgot Password, and reset it using your email address. You will be signed out on all devices and will need to sign back in with the new password.

Can I change my password if I signed up through Apple, Google, or Facebook?

If you created your Paramount+ account through a third-party service, you change the password through that service instead. For Apple ID, go to Settings > [Your Name] > Password & Security. For Google, visit myaccount.google.com. For Facebook, go to facebook.com and select Settings & Privacy > Settings > Password.

Will changing my password affect my billing or subscription?

No. Your subscription and payment method stay the same. Changing your password only affects how you sign in.

How often should I change my password?

Once a year is a reasonable schedule. Change it sooner if you think it has been compromised, if you shared it with someone who no longer watches with you, or if you used the same password on another service that was hacked.
