You shared your password and no longer want another person to use it.

You received a suspicious account notification.
-
You recently experienced an account-access problem.
-
You use the same password on several websites.
-

If you believe your account has been compromised, changing the password should be one of the first steps you consider.
How to Change Your Sling TV Password
The password-change process is generally easier through a trusted web browser than through a television remote.
Sign In to Your Sling TV Account
Start by accessing the legitimate Sling TV account or sign-in page.
Enter the email address and current password associated with your account.
If you have forgotten the current password, use the appropriate password-recovery process instead of repeatedly entering incorrect credentials.
Open Your Account Settings
After signing in, look for your account, profile, settings, or account-management area.
The exact wording and location of account controls can change as websites and applications are updated.
Look for an option related to password, security, or account information.
Select the Password Option
Choose the available option for changing or updating your password.
You may be asked to confirm your current password before creating a new one.
This additional verification helps protect your account from unauthorized changes.
Enter Your New Password
Create a new password that is difficult for other people to guess.
Avoid using easily available information such as:
-
Your name
-
Birthday
-
Phone number
-
Address
-
Simple number sequences
-
Common words
-
Previously used passwords
A strong password should be unique and preferably contain a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters.
Confirm the New Password
Enter the new password again when prompted.
Make sure both entries match exactly.
Pay attention to capitalization, spaces, punctuation, and special characters.
Save the Change
Select the appropriate button to save or update your password.
Wait for the confirmation that the password has been successfully changed.
Afterward, you may need to sign in again on some devices.
What Happens After Changing Your Sling TV Password?
Once you change your password, devices that use your previous credentials may eventually require you to authenticate again.
For example, you may need to sign in again on:
-
Smart TV
-
Roku
-
Fire Stick
-
Smartphone
-
Tablet
-
Computer
-
Other supported streaming devices
If a device continues to display an authentication error, close the Sling TV application and reopen it.
Enter your new password rather than the previous one.
Sling TV Change Password on Computer
A computer is often convenient for changing an account password because you can use a physical keyboard.
Open a trusted browser and access the legitimate Sling TV account page.
Sign in and navigate to your account or security settings.
Locate the password-management option.
Enter your existing password if requested, then enter and confirm the new password.
Save the changes.
Afterward, open Sling TV on your streaming devices and sign in again if required.
Sling TV Change Password on Phone
You can also change your password using a smartphone browser when the appropriate account-management options are available.
Open a trusted mobile browser and access your Sling TV account.
Sign in with your current credentials.
Navigate to the account or security section and look for the password-management option.
Enter the required information and create your new password.
After saving the change, reopen the Sling TV application on your phone and use the updated credentials if the application asks you to sign in again.
Sling TV Change Password on Roku
Roku is primarily a viewing device, so changing your account password may be more convenient through a phone or computer.
First change the password through the appropriate Sling TV account-management process.
Then open Sling TV on Roku.
If the application requests authentication, enter your email address and new password.
If Roku continues to display old login information, restart the device and reopen Sling TV.
Sling TV Change Password on Fire Stick
Fire Stick users can change their Sling TV password through a trusted browser and then return to the Sling TV application.
After changing the password, open Sling TV on Fire Stick.
If the app requests a login, enter the updated credentials.
If you experience an authentication error, restart Fire Stick and check for application updates.
You can also clear appropriate application cache data if the problem continues.
Sling TV Change Password on Smart TV
Changing an account password through a Smart TV can be inconvenient because entering long passwords with a remote is slower.
For this reason, using a phone or computer can be easier.
After updating the password, open Sling TV on your Smart TV and enter the new credentials when requested.
If the app repeatedly rejects the new password, restart the TV and check whether the Sling TV application needs an update.
What If You Forgot Your Current Sling TV Password?
Changing a password normally requires access to your account, but if you have forgotten the existing password, you should use the legitimate password-recovery process instead.
Select the appropriate forgot-password option on the Sling TV sign-in page.
Enter the email address associated with the account.
