Step-by-step instructions

  1. Request a new activation code from the television app.
  2. Check that you entered the characters accurately.
  3. Complete the code on the exact official address displayed on-screen.
  4. Confirm the phone or computer uses the correct Peacock account.
  5. Restart the TV app if the screen does not update.

Before you try again

Make sure your device has a working internet connection and that you are using an up-to-date Peacock app or supported browser. If the issue involves a paid subscription, verify that you are signing in with the email associated with the active plan.

Account security: Enter passwords and verification codes only on the official Peacock website or app. Our website does not request or store Peacock login credentials.

If the issue continues

Test the same account on another supported device. If sign-in works elsewhere, focus on the affected app, browser or device. If no device can sign in, use official account recovery. For charges, subscription ownership, or account changes, contact Peacock or the partner responsible for billing.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the same Peacock account on different devices?

You can sign in on compatible devices with the same account. The number of simultaneous streams may depend on current service rules and your plan.

Where should I enter my Peacock password?

Only in the official Peacock app or on its official website. Never send passwords through a support form or email.

What if I have an active subscription but cannot watch?

Check the account email, subscription provider and any required partner activation before buying another plan.
