Where to find your Peacock login information
Your Peacock username is the email address you used when you created your account. Your password is what you set during signup — Peacock does not display it back to you for security reasons, but you can reset it if you have forgotten it. Both pieces of information live in your account settings, which you reach by signing in first.
If you are already signed in on a device, you do not need your password to keep watching. The problem usually arises when you want to sign in on a new device, a web browser you have not used before, or after clearing your browser cache. That is when you need to know what your login details actually are.
Key Takeaways
- Your Peacock username is the email address associated with your account, visible in your account settings under "Account Information" or "Profile".
- Peacock does not show your password for security reasons, but you can reset it by clicking "Forgot Password" on the login screen without needing your old password.
- If you signed up through a third-party service like Google or Apple, you sign in using that service's credentials instead of a separate Peacock password.
- Your account email and password reset options are the same whether you have a free Peacock account or a paid subscription.
Finding your username in account settings
Open Peacock on any device where you are already signed in. Look for a menu icon (usually three horizontal lines or a person icon) in the top right or bottom right corner, depending on whether you are on a phone, tablet, or computer. Tap or click it to open the menu.
Select "Account" or "Settings" — the exact label varies by device and app version. Once you are in account settings, look for a section called "Account Information," "Profile," or "Personal Information." Your email address appears there. That email is your Peacock username.
If you are using the Peacock website in a browser, sign in, then look for your profile icon or initials in the top right corner. Click it and select "Account Settings" or "My Account." The email you registered with is displayed on that page.
Resetting your password if you do not remember it
Go to the Peacock login page on any device or browser. Below the password field, you will see a link that says "Forgot Password" or "Forgot Your Password?" Click it. Peacock will ask you to enter the email address associated with your account.
Type in the email you used to sign up. Peacock sends a password reset link to that email address. Open your email inbox (including spam or promotions folders if you do not see it right away) and click the reset link. You will be taken to a page where you can create a new password. Type a new password twice to confirm it, then save the change.
Once you have set a new password, return to the Peacock login page and sign in with your email and the new password you just created. You should now have access to your account on any device.
What to do if you do not have access to your email
If you cannot access the email address you used to create your Peacock account, you cannot reset your password through the standard "Forgot Password" route. Contact Peacock support through their website. Look for a "Help" or "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the Peacock homepage.
Peacock support can verify your identity through other information — such as the payment method on file, the phone number you provided, or recent viewing history — and help you regain access to your account. This process takes longer than a self-service password reset, so be prepared to wait a few business days for a response.
Signing in with Google or Apple instead
If you created your Peacock account by clicking "Sign Up with Google" or "Sign Up with Apple," you do not have a separate Peacock password. Instead, you sign in using your Google or Apple credentials. On the Peacock login page, click the button for whichever service you used to create the account.
You will be taken to Google's or Apple's login page. Enter the email and password for that account, and you will be logged into Peacock. If you forget your Google or Apple password, you reset it through Google or Apple's own account recovery process, not through Peacock.
If you are not sure whether you signed up with Google, Apple, or an email address, try clicking each option on the Peacock login page. The service will tell you whether an account exists for that method.
Saving your login information so you do not forget it again
Most browsers and devices offer to save your password when you sign in. If your browser asks "Save password for Peacock?" after you log in, click "Save" or "Yes." The next time you visit Peacock on that device, the browser can fill in your email and password automatically.
You can also write down your email and password in a password manager — a find app designed to store login information. Popular password managers include Bitwarden, 1Password, LastPass, and Dashlane. These tools encrypt your passwords and let you retrieve them on any device where you have installed the manager.
Do not write your password on a sticky note or in an unencrypted document on your computer. Do not share your login information with anyone except household members who have permission to watch your account.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my Peacock username to something other than my email?
No. Peacock uses your email address as your username and does not offer a separate display name for login purposes. You can change the email address associated with your account through account settings, but you will then use the new email to sign in.
What if I signed up with an email I no longer use?
You can update the email address on your Peacock account through account settings. Go to "Account Information" and look for an option to edit or change your email. Peacock will send a confirmation link to the new email address. Click it to confirm the change, and your new email becomes your username.
Is my Peacock password the same as my cable provider password?
No. If you signed up for Peacock through a cable provider like Comcast or Charter, you may have used your provider login to create the account, but Peacock has its own separate password. Your cable password and Peacock password are different.
Can I see my password after I have set it?
No. Peacock does not display your password for security reasons, even if you are signed into your account. If you need to know your password for signing in on a new device, reset it using the "Forgot Password" link and create a new one.
What should I do if someone else knows my password?
Change your password when ready by going to account settings and selecting "Change Password" or "Security." Enter your current password, then create a new one. If you think someone has accessed your account without permission, check your account activity or contact Peacock support.
