Change your Hulu password through your account settings on any device

To change your Hulu password, sign into your account on Hulu.com or the Hulu app, go to your account settings, select the password option, enter your current password, then create and confirm your new password. The change takes effect immediately across all devices. You do not need to sign out and back in — Hulu keeps you logged in on devices you already use.

The process is the same whether you access Hulu through a web browser, phone app, tablet, or streaming device. If you cannot remember your current password, Hulu has a separate recovery process that uses your email address instead.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your password from Hulu.com, the mobile app, or any streaming device where you are already signed in.
  • The new password takes effect immediately on all devices without requiring you to sign out and back in.
  • If you forget your current password, use Hulu's password reset feature, which sends a link to your email address.
  • Changing your password is useful if you share your account with someone you no longer want to have access, or if you suspect unauthorized use.

Steps to change your password on a web browser

Open Hulu.com in your browser and sign in with your email and current password. Click your profile icon or account menu in the top right corner, then select "Account" from the dropdown menu.

On the Account page, look for the "Password" section under your login information. Click "Change password" or the edit icon next to it. Enter your current password in the first field, then type your new password twice — once in the "New password" field and again in the "Confirm password" field. Click "Save" or "Update" to confirm the change.

Changing your password on the Hulu mobile app

Open the Hulu app on your phone or tablet and tap the profile icon, usually located in the bottom right corner. Select "Account" or "Settings," then look for "Password" or "Login information."

Tap "Change password" and follow the same steps as the web version: enter your current password, then type your new password twice. Tap "Save" or "Confirm" when you are done. The app may ask you to sign out and back in, though this is not always required.

Changing your password on a streaming device

On devices like Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick, or Google Chromecast, sign into the Hulu app if you are not already. Navigate to your account settings — this is usually found in a menu icon or settings gear in the app itself.

Select "Account" or "Login," then find the password option. You may see a prompt to enter your current password and create a new one, or the app may direct you to complete the change on Hulu.com instead. If you are directed to the website, use a phone or computer to finish the process, then return to the app.

What to do if you forgot your current password

Go to Hulu.com and click "Log in." Below the email and password fields, look for a link that says "Forgot password?" or "Need help signing in?" Click it and enter the email address associated with your Hulu account.

Hulu will send a password reset link to that email. Open the email, click the link, and you will be taken to a page where you can create a new password without entering your old one. This link usually expires after a few hours, so complete the reset soon after receiving the email.

When to change your Hulu password

Change your password if you share your account with someone who no longer should have access, such as a roommate who moved out or a family member you no longer live with. You should also change it if you suspect someone has used your account without permission, notice unfamiliar viewing history, or receive a notification from Hulu about unusual account activity.

If you use the same password across multiple services, changing it on Hulu does not affect your passwords elsewhere. You will need to update those separately if you want to use a different password on each service.

What happens after you change your password

Your new password takes effect immediately. On devices where you are already signed in, you will remain logged in and can continue watching without interruption. On devices where you are not currently signed in, anyone trying to access Hulu will need to use your new password.

If you want to force someone out of your account entirely, you can sign out of all devices from your account settings after changing your password. This logs out every device at once, and anyone trying to use Hulu will be prompted to sign in again with the new password.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to sign out of all my devices after changing my password?

No. Hulu keeps you logged in on devices where you are already signed in, even after you change your password. You only need to sign in again on new devices or if you manually sign out.

Can I change my password on a device where I am not signed in?

No. You must be signed into your Hulu account to change your password. If you are not signed in, use the "Forgot password?" link instead to reset it through your email.

How often should I change my Hulu password?

There is no set rule. Change it whenever you share your account with someone new, suspect unauthorized use, or want to refresh your security. Many people change passwords once or twice a year as a general practice.

Will changing my password affect my billing or subscription?

No. Your subscription, billing information, and payment method remain the same. Only your login password changes.
