How to change or reset your Peacock password

How to reset your Peacock password

All you need to reset your Peacock account is your email address.

1. Visit the Peacock website and select “Sign in” at the top right corner.

2. Enter your email address and select “Continue.”

3. Select “I don't know my password.”

4. Enter the email address associated with your Peacock account and check your inbox for the reset email.

5. Click the “Reset your password” button in the email. You will be redirected to the password reset page.

6. Enter and confirm your new password. Peacock requires a password to be at least 10 characters long and contain letters and numbers. We recommend using a password generator to create a complex and unique password for your account.

7. That’s it! You can now access your Peacock account with your new login credentials.

How to change your Peacock password

At the time of writing, Peacock doesn’t offer users multi-factor authentication (MFA) for additional security. That means if your account gets breached, you risk losing it for good. To keep your payment information secure and your binge-watching sessions uninterrupted, we recommend changing your Peacock password to a stronger one.

1. Once you’ve logged in to your Peacock account, select “Account” at the top right corner of the home page.

2. In the Settings tab, select “Reset password.”

3. Select “Continue.” Peacock will send an email to your inbox with a password reset link. Make sure to check your spam folder. If you haven’t received it, you can request a new reset link.

4. Open the email you received and click the “Reset your password” button.

5. Enter your new password and confirm the change.

Recovering account access if you can’t reset or change your Peacock password

Peacock has a two-step login process. First, you enter the email address and, once Peacock has checked that it matches an existing account, it lets you input the password. Generally, you shouldn’t have any issues accessing your account if you make a typo in your email address – you’ll be redirected to create a new account. If you see that page instead of the password step, you probably misspelled your email address on step one.

Always check your inbox's spam folder after requesting a password reset. Sometimes, these emails get filtered out and don’t hit your primary inbox. However, double-check the sender’s domain. If your account credentials were breached, cybercriminals could send a phishing email masked as a password reset.

If you’ve forgotten your email address, you can still locate your Peacock account and reset your access:

1. In the login screen, select “I don't know my email.” You will be redirected to the Account Finder page.

2. Enter your first and last name as well as your payment information.

3. Peacock will send an email to the address associated with your account.

4. From here, you can log in as normal or reset your Peacock password using the instructions above.

If you can’t reset your password and haven’t received an email from Peacock, you can contact their support team via the dedicated help center.

Keep your new credentials secure with NordPass

The last thing you want is for your movie night to be ruined by you losing access to your streaming account. While Peacock has a built-in security feature that prevents snoopers from seeing your bank details without you verifying this request via your email, your login credentials might be less lucky. At least that will be the case if you’ve developed a habit of reusing the same passwords for all your accounts, streaming or otherwise.

With the NordPass password manager, you can keep all your accounts neatly organized, your passwords unique, and your sensitive information secured. NordPass uses XChaCha20 encryption and zero-knowledge architecture to store your passwords, passkeys, credit card details, and any other personal information that you want to remain secure. Use the combination of autofill, autosave, and Password Generator to quickly create, store, and update your login credentials.

With Email Masking, you can create a decoy email address to protect your legitimate email from getting swamped with spam in case someone sells your data to a third party. You can even use your email mask for your Peacock account, and you’ll still get your password reset emails just fine. Use Password Health to find weak, reused, and exposed passwords, and get live alerts if your email address or credit card details end up on the dark web with the Data Breach Scanner.

You can get NordPass for free to start storing your passwords or upgrade to Premium to unlock extra features. With NordPass, you can enjoy your favorite entertainment with a side serving of strong passwords.
