Change Your Password From Account Settings

Open Hulu on any device, go to your account menu, and select Account. Click Change Password under Security. Enter your current password, then type your new password twice to confirm it. Hulu will show you a green checkmark when the password meets its requirements — at least 6 characters, with at least one letter and one number.

The change takes effect when ready across all your devices. You do not need to sign out and back in, though you can if you want to verify the new password works. If you are changing the password because you think someone else has access to your account, sign out of all devices first by going to Account > Sign Out Everywhere, then change the password.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your Hulu password from the Account menu on any device where you are already signed in.
  • Your new password must be at least 6 characters long and contain at least one letter and one number.
  • If you suspect unauthorized access, use Sign Out Everywhere before changing your password to remove other sessions.
  • The password change takes effect when ready on all devices and you do not need to sign in again.

What Hulu Requires in a New Password

Hulu's password rules are straightforward: minimum 6 characters, at least one letter, at least one number. You can use uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and these special characters: ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ = +. Hulu does not allow spaces.

A password like "hulu2024" meets the minimum, but a longer password with mixed characters like "MyHulu#2024Stream" is harder to guess. Avoid using your email address, username, or any word that appears in your Hulu profile. If Hulu rejects your password, it usually means you forgot the number or letter requirement — the error message will tell you what is missing.

Change Your Password on the Hulu Website

Go to hulu.com and sign in. Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select Account. Under Security, click Change Password. Enter your current password, then your new password twice. Click Change Password to save.

This method works the same way as changing it on a device app, and the new password syncs across all your devices within seconds. If you are using a shared computer, make sure to sign out of Hulu after you finish.

Change Your Password on Mobile Apps

Open the Hulu app on your phone or tablet. Tap the profile icon at the bottom right (on iPhone) or the menu icon at the top left (on Android). Select Account, then tap Change Password. Enter your current password and your new password twice, then tap Change Password.

The process is identical to the website version. After you change your password, you stay signed in on that device — you do not need to log back in. The new password works on all your other devices when ready.

What to Do if You Forget Your Current Password

If you cannot remember your current password, you cannot change it from the Account menu because Hulu requires you to enter the old password first. Instead, sign out of Hulu completely, then go to the sign-in page and click Forgot Password. Enter your email address and Hulu will send you a password reset link.

Click the link in your email and create a new password. This resets your password rather than changing it — you do not need to know the old one. The reset link expires after a few hours, so check your email right away. If you do not see the email, check your spam folder or request a new link.

Sign Out of All Devices After Changing Your Password

If you changed your password because you think someone else was watching your account, use Sign Out Everywhere to end all other sessions. Go to Account > Sign Out Everywhere. This removes your login from every device except the one you are currently using.

After you sign out everywhere, only devices where you manually sign in again will have access to your account. This is useful if you shared your password with someone and no longer want them to watch. They will be signed out the next time they try to stream, and they will not be able to sign back in without your new password.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to change my password on every device?

No. When you change your password in Account settings, the change takes effect on all devices at once. You do not need to go into settings on your phone, tablet, TV, or computer separately. The new password works everywhere when ready.

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

Go to the Hulu sign-in page and click Forgot Password. Enter your email address and Hulu will send you a reset link. You can create another new password without knowing the one you just set. There is no limit to how many times you can reset.

Can I use the same password I used before?

Hulu does not prevent you from reusing an old password. However, if you are changing your password because you think your account was compromised, choose something completely new that you have not used before on any other account.

Will changing my password affect my billing or subscription?

No. Changing your password does not affect your subscription, billing information, or watch history. Your account and all your settings stay exactly the same — only the password changes.
