Fix Peacock login not working and other account issues
If your Peacock login is not working, here are a few fixes that are sure to solve your problem. So be sure to follow them consistently and don’t skip any of them.
Fix 1: Check your internet connection
If you’re having trouble signing into Peacock, the first thing you need to check is your internet connection. Since Peacock is a video streaming platform, internet speeds above 5 Mbps are a must.
Go to the Speedtest website and check your internet speed. If you see that it is below 5 Mbps, you need to do something. First of all, move closer to the router if you are far away. If that doesn’t help, connect an RJ45 cable from your router to your TV or PC (wherever you watch). Remember, if you are using a TV, you need a long cable.
If you think your Wi-Fi is slower, switch to a faster data plan or start using a mobile hotspot. If none of them help, read this guide to speed up the Internet. If everything is fine with the Internet, move on to the next fix.
Fix 2: Restart your device
If internet speed is not an issue, it could be a device fault. In this case, you can simply reboot your device and check if everything is working fine.
In TVs, a reboot can solve almost all problems. In any case, if you are using your own computer, hard booting your computer is the best way to go. You can also clear your PC’s browser cache if that doesn’t help. TVs do not support caching, so this cannot be done.
On the TV after reboot, make sure it is connected to the internet, open the Peacock app and check if you can login. If not, follow the next fix.
Fix 3: Check Your Plan
Peacock is virtually free, but some of the best features of Peacock TV can only be unlocked by paying a monthly fee of $4.99 (Premium) or $9.99 (Premium Plus).
In some cases, paying Peacock Premium members cannot sign in to multiple devices due to some restrictions.
Because of the premium features, Peacock imposes restrictions so that the person buying a subscription cannot share it with everyone they know. If you have a free plan, sign up using a different email address so you can continue using it, because the free plan only allows 2 people to watch shows and movies.
Fix 4: Sign out of other devices
We have seen this issue in almost every user account. Most premium users always face login issues because they are logged in from multiple devices.
If you use a Premium Peacock account, only 4 people can use it. If one or more people try to log into your account, others will be logged out or unable to log in. Therefore, you need to make sure that only 4 people enter at the same time and no more.
If you have shared your ID and password with more than 4 people, follow these steps to delete them:
- Open the Peacock TV app and sign in.
- Now go to the account page and click “Devices”.
- You will now see a list of devices. Click “Remove”for the devices you want to remove from the list.
- Try streaming and a movie or show and see if everything works fine.
If that doesn’t work, try the next fix.
Fix 5: Update the Peacock App
If you use Peacock on your Smart TVs or smartphones, you need to update the Peacock TV app to the latest version.
If you are using Android TV, you can easily open PlayStore and update Peacock TV. If you’re using a Samsung Smart TV, you don’t have a Peacock TV.
After the update, restart your device, open Peacock TV and check if everything works fine and you have no problems logging in. If the issue persists, follow the next fix.
Fix 6: Force stop or update Peacock TV
If you’re using Peacock TV on your TV, you won’t have the option to force stop it, but you can definitely refresh it by pressing the green button on the remote.
If you are using an Android smartphone, follow these steps:
- Press and hold Peacock TV and then tap App Info.
- After that, click “Force stop”.
- Close everything, restart Peacock TV and log in to check if the issue is resolved.
If you are using an iPhone, follow these steps:
- Open “Settings”on your iPhone.
- After that, click “General”and then click “iPhone Storage”.
- Finally, find Peacock TV and click on it in the list of apps installed on your iPhone.
- Now click “Upload Application”.
- Close everything and try restarting Peacock TV. Sign in and check if the problem persists.
Fix 7: Check for Server Issues
In case all of the above fixes didn’t help, you should check for server crashes. Sometimes users struggle to solve the Peacock login issue and forget that even Peacock TV is running servers and they must be having problems.
You need to go to Downdetector and check for problems with Peacock TV. You can also directly follow the link here. If you see a lot of people reporting problems, you have nothing to worry about because everything is fine on your end and wait for Peacock to fix their problem.
