How to change your Disney Plus account email and password

Disney Plus Streaming service has gone live, airing all the famous Disney movies such as Star Wars and Snow White and exclusive Disney TV series such as The Mandalorian. However, within a few weeks of the launch of Disney Plus, there were reports of accounts being hacked and sold in areas where the streaming service was unavailable. While Disney has agreed to implement stricter security, changing your email and password may be a good idea to prevent you from becoming a victim.

Thus, this article will guide you on how to change your Disney plus account email and password.

Part 1: Change your account email
