Change your Peacock password from the account settings menu on any device

To change your Peacock password, sign into your account on the Peacock 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. You can do this on a phone, tablet, or computer — whichever you use most often.

After you change your password, you stay signed in on the device you used to make the change. Other devices that were already signed in will keep working until you sign out of them or until Peacock automatically logs you out (usually after a period of inactivity). If you want to sign out everywhere at once, Peacock offers that option in the same Account Settings menu.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your password from the Peacock website, the mobile app, or the TV app — the steps are the same on all three.
  • Your current password is required to set a new one, so you cannot change it if you have forgotten your password.
  • A strong password includes uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, and should be at least 12 characters long.
  • Changing your password does not automatically sign you out on other devices, but you can force a sign-out from the Account Settings menu if you suspect unauthorized access.

Step-by-step: changing your password on the Peacock website

Open a web browser and go to peacocktv.com. Sign in with your email address and current password. In the top right corner, click the profile icon (usually your initials or a generic avatar). A dropdown menu will appear — select Account Settings.

On the Account Settings page, look for the Password section. Click Change Password or Edit Password. You will be asked to enter your current password first — this is a security step to confirm it is really you making the change. Type it in and click Next or Continue. Now enter your new password in both fields (once to type it, once to confirm it matches). Click Save or Update. You will see a confirmation message. Your password is now changed.

Changing your password on the Peacock mobile app

Open the Peacock app on your phone or tablet and sign in if you are not already. Tap the profile icon at the bottom right of the screen (it looks like a person or your initials). Tap Account Settings or My Account. Scroll down to find Password or Security Settings.

Tap Change Password. Enter your current password when prompted, then type your new password twice. Tap Save or Confirm. The app will show a success message and return you to the Account Settings page. You are now signed in with your new password on this device.

Changing your password on a TV app or streaming device

If you use Peacock on a smart TV, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick, or similar device, the easiest way to change your password is through the website or mobile app instead — TV remotes make typing passwords slow and frustrating. However, if you prefer to do it on the TV itself, the steps are similar: navigate to Account Settings using your remote, find Password, select Change Password, and use the on-screen keyboard to enter your old and new passwords.

Some TV apps may ask you to re-authenticate (sign in again) after you change your password. If that happens, use your email address and your new password to sign back in. This is normal and is a security feature.

What to do if you have forgotten your password

If you cannot remember your current password, you cannot use the Change Password option because Peacock requires you to enter your old password first. Instead, use the Forgot Password link on the Peacock sign-in page. Click it, enter the email address associated with your account, and Peacock will send you a password reset link. Check your email (including spam or promotions folders) for a message from Peacock. Click the link in the email, create a new password, and sign in.

The reset link usually expires after a few hours, so do not wait too long to use it. If you do not see the email, check that you are looking in the inbox for the correct email address — Peacock will only send the reset link to the address on file for your account.

Signing out on all devices after a password change

Changing your password does not automatically sign you out on phones, tablets, or TV devices that are already logged in. If you are concerned about unauthorized access or you want to force a fresh sign-in everywhere, you can sign out remotely from Account Settings. On the website or app, go to Account Settings, look for a section called Active Sessions, Devices, or Sign Out Everywhere, and select the option to sign out on all devices.

After you do this, every device will be signed out. The next time someone tries to use Peacock on any device, they will need to sign in with your email address and your new password. This is useful if you think someone else has access to your account or if you are selling or giving away a device.

Creating a strong password you can actually remember

A strong Peacock password should be at least 12 characters long and include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols (like ! @ # $ % or &). Avoid using your name, birthdate, or common words that appear in the dictionary. Do not reuse a password you use for other accounts — if one service gets hacked, a password reused across multiple sites puts all of them at risk.

If you struggle to remember complex passwords, consider using a password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or the password manager built into your phone or browser. These tools store your passwords securely and fill them in automatically, so you only have to remember one master password. Many of them are free or low-cost and work across all your devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will changing my password sign me out on my TV?

No. Changing your password keeps you signed in on the device you used to make the change. Other devices stay signed in until you manually sign out or until Peacock logs you out after a long period of inactivity. If you want to force a sign-out everywhere, use the Sign Out Everywhere option in Account Settings.

Can I change my password if I share my Peacock account with family?

Yes, but everyone will need to sign in again on their devices after you change the password. If you want to avoid that, you can create separate profiles within the account instead — each person gets their own watchlist and recommendations without needing a separate Peacock subscription. Changing your account password does not affect individual profiles.

How often should I change my Peacock password?

There is no rule that says you must change it on a schedule. Change it if you think someone else knows it, if you reused it on another service that was hacked, or if you have not changed it in over a year. If you use a unique, strong password and you are the only one who knows it, changing it frequently is not necessary.

What if I see a device signed in that I do not recognize?

Go to Account Settings and check the Active Sessions or Devices section. If you see a device you do not own or recognize, select it and choose Remove or Sign Out. Then change your password when ready. This prevents whoever has access from signing back in with your old password.
