Change your password from the Hulu website or app

You can change your Hulu password yourself in about two minutes, either on a computer through the Hulu website or on your phone or tablet through the Hulu app. The steps are nearly identical on both. You do not need to contact Hulu support or know your old password — you only need to be able to sign in to your account right now.

If you cannot sign in because you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password" link on the Hulu login page instead. That process sends a reset link to the email address on your account and takes about the same amount of time.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your password from any device where you can sign into Hulu, using the Account settings menu.
  • Changing your password signs you out of Hulu on all other devices, so plan the timing if other people in your household are watching.
  • If you forget your password, use the "Forgot password" link on the login page to receive a reset email.
  • After you change your password, you will need to sign back in on any device where you want to keep watching Hulu.

Steps to change your password on a computer

Start by going to hulu.com and signing in with your current email and password. Once you are signed in, look for your profile icon or account menu — this is usually in the top right corner of the page. Click it and select "Account" from the dropdown menu.

On the Account page, find the section labeled "Password" or "Change password." Click the button next to it. Hulu will ask you to enter your current password once more for security, then ask you to type your new password twice. Make sure both new passwords match exactly. Click "Save" or "Confirm" when you are done. You will see a message confirming the change was successful.

Steps to change your password on the Hulu app

Open the Hulu app on your phone or tablet and sign in if you are not already. Tap the profile icon, which is usually in the bottom right corner of the screen. Select "Account" or "Settings" from the menu that appears.

Scroll down to find "Password" or "Change password" and tap it. Enter your current password, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches. Tap "Save" or "Confirm." The app will show you a confirmation message once the change is complete.

What happens after you change your password

Changing your password signs you out of Hulu on every device where you were signed in — phones, tablets, computers, smart TVs, streaming devices, and anything else. This is a security feature that prevents someone else from watching your account if they somehow got your old password.

You will need to sign back in on each device where you want to keep watching. If you share your Hulu account with family members or roommates, let them know you changed the password so they can sign back in without confusion. They will not lose their watch history or saved shows — those stay with your account.

If you cannot remember your current password

Go to hulu.com and click "Log in." On the login page, click the "Forgot password?" link below the password field. Hulu will ask for the email address on your account. Enter it and click "Send reset email" or the equivalent button.

Check your email inbox for a message from Hulu. The email will contain a link that lets you create a new password. Click that link, type your new password twice to confirm it, and click "Save." You can then sign back into Hulu with your new password. If you do not see the email within a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder.

Choosing a password that is hard to guess

A strong password for Hulu — or any account — uses a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols like ! or @. Avoid using words from the dictionary, your name, your birth date, or anything else someone could guess if they know you. A random combination like "Tr0pic@lMango42!" is much harder to crack than "Hulu2024" or "MyPassword."

If you use the same password across multiple accounts, changing it on Hulu is a good time to change it elsewhere too. If someone gets your password for one service, they can try it on others. A password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or Dashlane can store different strong passwords for each account so you do not have to remember them all.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will changing my password delete my watch history or saved shows?

No. Your watch history, saved shows, and all your account settings stay exactly as they are. Changing your password only affects how you sign in — it does not touch any of your account data or viewing history.

Do I need to change my password if I share my Hulu account?

You do not have to, but you might want to if someone who had access no longer should. If a roommate moves out or a relationship ends, changing your password signs them out everywhere and prevents them from watching. Let anyone who should still have access know the new password.

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

Use the "Forgot password" link on the login page again. Hulu will send another reset email to your account email address, and you can create a new password. You can do this as many times as you need.

Can I change my password on a smart TV or streaming device?

Most smart TVs and streaming devices do not have a settings menu for changing your password. Use a computer, phone, or tablet instead. After you change it on one of those devices, sign back into the TV or streaming device with your new password.
