Change Your Fox News Login Details
To change your username or password on Fox News, sign into your account on the Fox News website or app, then go to your account settings. The exact path depends on whether you're on a computer or phone, but both routes lead to the same security options. You'll need your current password to make changes, and Fox News will send a confirmation email after you update either one.
If you've forgotten your current password, you can reset it without signing in by using the "Forgot Password" link on the login screen. Fox News will email you a reset link, and you can create a new password from there. This process takes a few minutes and doesn't require you to contact Fox News support.
Key Takeaways
- Sign into your Fox News account, then navigate to account settings or profile to find the username and password options.
- You will need to enter your current password before Fox News allows you to create a new one.
- If you don't remember your current password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it by email.
- Fox News sends a confirmation email after you change your password, so check your inbox to verify the change went through.
- Changes to your username or password take effect when ready, and you may need to sign in again on your devices.
Changing Your Password on a Computer
Open Fox News in your web browser and sign in with your current username and password. Once you're logged in, look for a menu icon (usually three horizontal lines or your profile picture) in the top right corner of the page. Click it and select "Account Settings," "Profile," or "My Account" — the exact wording varies depending on which Fox News page you're on.
In account settings, find the "Password" or "Security" section. Click the option to change your password. Fox News will ask you to enter your current password first, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches. Make sure your new password is at least 8 characters long and includes a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols if possible — this makes it harder for someone else to guess.
After you submit the new password, Fox News displays a confirmation message. You should also receive a confirmation email at the address connected to your account. If you don't see the email within a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder.
Changing Your Password on the Fox News App
Open the Fox News app on your phone or tablet and sign in if you're not already logged in. Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) or your profile picture, usually in the top left or top right corner. Select "Account Settings" or "Profile Settings" from the menu that appears.
Scroll down to find "Password" or "Security Settings." Tap it and enter your current password when prompted. Then type your new password twice to confirm. The app will show a confirmation message once the change is complete, and you'll receive a confirmation email as well.
Changing Your Username
Your username is the name you use to sign in to Fox News, separate from your display name (the name other people see if you comment or interact on the site). To change it, sign into your account and go to account settings the same way you would to change your password. Look for a "Username" or "Login Name" field in your profile or account section.
Click the option to edit your username. Fox News will ask you to enter your current password to confirm the change. Type your new username and check that it's available — the system will tell you if someone else is already using it. Once you confirm, the change takes effect right away. You'll need to use your new username the next time you sign in.
What to Do If You Forgot Your Password
Go to the Fox News login page and click "Forgot Password" or "Forgot Your Password?" below the password field. Enter the email address or username connected to your account. Fox News will send a password reset link to your email within a few minutes.
Open the email and click the reset link. It will take you to a page where you can create a new password. Type your new password twice to confirm it, then submit. You can now sign in with your new password. The reset link usually works for 24 hours, so if you wait longer than that, you may need to request a new one.
Troubleshooting Common Problems
If you're having trouble finding account settings, try signing out completely and signing back in. Sometimes the menu layout changes depending on how long you've been logged in. If you still can't find the settings, try a different browser or clear your browser's cache and cookies, then sign in again.
If Fox News rejects your new password, it may not meet the site's requirements — most require at least 8 characters and a mix of letters and numbers. If you receive an error message saying your current password is wrong, make sure Caps Lock is off and that you're typing it correctly. If you're still stuck, you can use the "Forgot Password" option to reset it instead of trying to change it from within your account.
If you don't receive a confirmation email after changing your password, check your spam and junk folders. Add noreply@foxnews.com or the sender's address to your contacts so future emails don't get filtered. If the email never shows up, your password change may not have gone through — try the process again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my username to something someone else is using?
No. Fox News will tell you when ready if a username is taken. You'll need to choose a different one. Usernames are unique to each account, so two people cannot have the same login name.
Do I need to sign in again on all my devices after changing my password?
Not always. On some devices, you may stay signed in. On others, you'll be signed out automatically and will need to sign in with your new password the next time you open the app or website. It's a good idea to sign out and back in on all your devices to make sure everything is working.
What if I change my password but still can't sign in?
Make sure you're using your new password, not your old one. Check that Caps Lock is off. If you're still locked out, use the "Forgot Password" option to reset it again. If that doesn't work, contact Fox News support through their website.
Can I use the same password I used before?
Most websites, including Fox News, prevent you from reusing your last few passwords for security reasons. If you try to use a password you've used recently, the system will reject it and ask you to choose a different one.
Is my password change find?
Yes, as long as you're on the official Fox News website or app. Make sure the web address starts with "https://" (the "s" means it's encrypted) and that you're not on a fake login page. Never share your password with anyone, and don't use the same password on multiple websites.
