Change your Hulu password through your account settings on any device

To change your Hulu password, sign into your account, go to Account Settings, select Change Password, enter your current password, type your new password twice, and save the change. The process takes about two minutes and works the same way whether you're on a computer, phone, or tablet. After you change it, you'll be signed out of all devices and will need to sign back in with your new password.

You can change your password at any time, whether or not you remember your current one. If you've forgotten your password, Hulu has a separate recovery process that starts with your email address instead.

Key Takeaways

  • Sign into Hulu on any device, then go to your Account Settings to find the Change Password option.
  • You will need to enter your current password before Hulu lets you create a new one.
  • After you change your password, all devices are signed out automatically and must sign back in with the new password.
  • If you don't remember your current password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page instead of trying to change it through settings.

Steps to change your password on a computer or phone

Start by signing into your Hulu account. Once you're logged in, look for your profile icon or menu button — on a computer this is usually in the top right corner, and on a phone it's often a hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) or your profile picture.

Click or tap Account Settings or Account. You should see a list of options that includes Change Password, Security, or similar wording. Select Change Password. Hulu will ask you to enter your current password first as a security check. Type it in exactly as you remember it, including capital letters and special characters.

Next, enter your new password in the field labeled New Password. Hulu will ask you to type it again in a Confirm Password field to make sure there are no typos. Your new password must be at least 6 characters long. After you've entered both, click Save or Confirm. Hulu will show you a message confirming the change was successful.

What happens after you change your password

Once you save your new password, Hulu automatically signs you out of every device where you were logged in. This includes phones, tablets, computers, smart TVs, and streaming devices. You will need to sign back into each one using your new password.

This automatic sign-out is a security feature. It means that if someone else had access to your account, they will be locked out once you change the password. The next time you try to watch Hulu on any device, you'll see the login screen and will need to enter your email and new password.

If you don't remember your current password

You cannot change your password through Account Settings if you don't remember the current one — Hulu requires you to enter it first. Instead, go to the Hulu login page and look for a link that says Forgot Password or Can't Sign In. Click that link.

Hulu will ask for the email address connected to your account. Enter it and click Next. You'll receive an email with a link to reset your password. Open that email, click the link, and you'll be taken to a page where you can create a new password without needing the old one. This process usually takes a few minutes from start to finish.

Creating a strong new password

When you choose a new password, make it something you haven't used before and something that's hard for others to guess. A strong password usually includes a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols like ! or @. Avoid using your name, birthday, or common words that appear in the dictionary.

Write your new password down in a safe place, or use a password manager — a tool that stores passwords securely and fills them in for you automatically. If you use the same password across many accounts, changing it on Hulu is a good time to make each account unique.

Troubleshooting password change problems

If you see an error message when you try to save your new password, check that you've typed it correctly in both fields. Passwords are case-sensitive, meaning that "Password" and "password" are different. Make sure Caps Lock is not on by accident.

If the system says your current password is wrong, try again carefully. If you're still stuck, use the Forgot Password link instead. If you keep getting error messages even after trying multiple times, contact Hulu's support team through their website or app — they can help you regain access to your account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to change my password on every device separately?

No. When you change your password once through Account Settings, the change applies to your entire Hulu account. All devices are signed out at the same time. You only need to sign back in with your new password on each device, but you don't change the password multiple times.

Will changing my password cancel my subscription?

No. Changing your password does not affect your subscription, billing, or any of your account settings. Your plan stays active, and you'll continue to be charged on your regular billing date. The only thing that changes is the password you use to sign in.

How often should I change my Hulu password?

There's no rule that says you must change it on a schedule. Change it if you think someone else knows it, if you've used it on another account that was hacked, or if you haven't changed it in several years. Changing it once a year is a reasonable practice for accounts you care about.

Can I change my password on a smart TV or streaming device?

Most smart TVs and streaming devices don't have a full Account Settings menu. It's easiest to change your password on a computer or phone using the steps above, then sign back into your TV or device with the new password when prompted.
