Where to find your Peacock password

Peacock does not show you your password after you create it — that is by design for security. If you remember your password, you can log in directly at peacock.com or in the Peacock app. If you do not remember it, you will need to reset it instead of retrieving the old one.

The fastest way to reset your password is to go to the Peacock login page, click "Forgot your password?", and follow the link sent to your email. Peacock will ask you to verify your email address, then send you a reset link that works for 24 hours. Click that link, create a new password, and you can log in when ready.

If you signed up for Peacock through another service — like Xfinity, Cox, or a cable provider — your password may be managed by that provider instead. In that case, you reset the password through their website or app, not through Peacock itself.

Key Takeaways

  • Peacock does not display your password after you set it, so you must reset it if you forget it rather than retrieve the old one.
  • Click "Forgot your password?" on the Peacock login page to receive a reset email that works for 24 hours.
  • If you subscribed through a cable provider like Xfinity or Cox, reset your password through that provider's website instead of Peacock's.
  • After you reset your password, you can log in on any device — phone, tablet, computer, or streaming device — using your email and new password.

Resetting through email step by step

Go to peacock.com and look for the login button, usually in the top right corner. Click it, then click "Forgot your password?" below the password field. Enter the email address you used when you created your Peacock account.

Peacock will send a reset link to that email within a few minutes. Check your inbox and also your spam or promotions folder if you do not see it right away. The link expires after 24 hours, so act within that window.

Click the reset link, which takes you to a page where you create a new password. Peacock requires at least 8 characters, and it is stronger if you mix uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. After you save your new password, you can log in when ready on any device.

What to do if you do not receive the reset email

Check your spam, promotions, and other email folders first — reset emails sometimes land there instead of your inbox. If you still do not see it after 10 minutes, try requesting the reset again. Peacock may rate-limit requests, so wait a few minutes between attempts.

Make sure you are entering the correct email address. If you created your account with one email but now use a different one, the reset will not work. You can update your email address in your Peacock account settings once you log in, but you will need your current password to do that.

If you have tried multiple times and still receive nothing, contact Peacock support through the help section at peacock.com/help. They can verify your account and send a reset link manually, though this usually takes longer than the automatic email.

Passwords for accounts linked to cable providers

If you signed up for Peacock through Xfinity, Cox, Dish, or another cable or internet provider, your login is tied to that provider's account. You do not have a separate Peacock password — you use your provider login instead.

To reset that password, go to your provider's website or app and look for account settings or password reset. Xfinity users go to xfinity.com, click "Sign In" in the top right, then "Forgot username or password?" Cox users visit cox.com and use the same process. Each provider has its own reset flow, but all of them email a reset link to your account email.

After you reset your provider password, that new password works for logging into Peacock as well. You do not need to reset anything separately in the Peacock app.

Logging in on different devices

Once you have set or reset your password, you can use it to log in on your phone, tablet, computer, or streaming device. read the Peacock app from the App Store, Google Play, or your device's app store, then enter your email and password.

On a streaming device like Roku, Fire TV, or Apple TV, the app may ask you to sign in on a web page instead. It will show you a code to enter on peacock.com/set up. Go to that page, enter the code, and log in with your email and password. The device then stays logged in without needing the password again.

If you change your password later, you may need to log out and log back in on some devices for the change to take effect. Logging out is usually in the app settings under "Account" or "Sign Out".

Keeping your password find

Use a password that is not the same as your email password, banking password, or passwords for other streaming services. If someone gets your Peacock password, they can only access Peacock — but if you reuse passwords, they could access other accounts too.

Write your password down in a find place, or use a password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or the password manager built into your phone or browser. These tools store passwords encrypted so you do not have to remember them, but you do have to remember the master password.

If you think someone else has logged into your account, reset your password when ready. Peacock will log out all other devices once you change it, so you will be the only one with access.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see my password after I create it?

No. Peacock hides your password for security reasons. If you need to know what it is, reset it to a new password you choose. You can then write down or save the new password in a password manager.

What if I signed up with Facebook or Google?

If you created your Peacock account by clicking "Sign up with Facebook" or "Sign up with Google," you do not have a Peacock password. You log in using your Facebook or Google account instead. To change how you log in, contact Peacock support.

How long does the password reset link stay active?

The reset link in the email Peacock sends you works for 24 hours. After that, it expires and you will need to request a new reset link. If you wait too long, go back to the login page and click "Forgot your password?" again.

Do I need the same password on all my devices?

Yes. Your email and password are the same across all devices — phone, tablet, computer, and streaming devices. If you change your password, use the new one the next time you log in on any device.

What if I forgot my email address too?

Contact Peacock support at peacock.com/help and provide information that proves the account is yours, like the payment method or the email you think you used. They can help you recover the account, though it may take several business days.
