If you can’t sign in to HBO Max on your TV, try signing in without your password by requesting a one-time code. Most sign-in problems come from a forgotten password or using a different email than the one on your account.

​
Sign in without your password

1

Choose Get One-Time Code

When asked for your password, choose Get One-Time Code.
2

Check your email

Find the email with the subject Time Sensitive: Your One-Time HBO Max Code. Check Promotions, Junk, and Spam too.
3

Enter the 6-digit code

Type the code from your email. If prompted, add or update your password.
4

Choose who's watching

Pick a profile and start streaming.

​
Other causes

If you have more than one email, try the other one. If your account email has a typo or you no longer have access to it, contact HBO Max support.
On the Apple TV where you subscribed, open HBO Max, choose Sign In, then Use Email Address and Restore Purchase.
Sign in by connecting your provider instead. See Connect your provider.
A Welcome back message means your account has no active subscription. Renew it on HBOMax.com or through the store or provider you used.
Update the HBO Max app, restart your TV device, and try again.

​
If that didn’t work

Contact HBO Max through the official HBO Max Help Center. Include your account email, your TV device, and a screenshot or the exact text of any error.
