How to Register Disney Plus Using an 8-Digit Login/Begin Code?

What is the login/begin code? When you open Disney+ on a TV or streaming device, it shows an 8-digit code on screen. You enter this code at disneyplus.com/begin on your phone or computer to activate your account on that device — no password typing on your TV needed.

Step 1: Open Disney+ on your TV or device

Launch the Disney+ app on your smart TV, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, PlayStation, or Xbox. If you don't have it, download it from your device's app store first.

Step 2: Select "Log In" and choose "Enter Code"

On the login screen, select Log In. You'll see options for logging in. Choose "Use a Sign-In Code" or "Enter Code" to proceed.

Step 3: Note down your 8-digit code

A unique 8-digit activation code will appear on your TV screen. This code is time-limited (usually expires in 15 minutes), so proceed quickly. Write it down or keep your TV visible.

Step 4: Go to disneyplus.com/begin on your phone/PC

On your smartphone, tablet, or computer browser, open a new tab and navigate to disneyplus.com/begin. Make sure you're logged into your Disney+ account.

Step 5: Sign in to your Disney+ account

If you aren't already logged in, enter your Disney+ email and password. If you're new, create an account and choose a subscription plan before activating.

Step 6: Enter the 8-digit code from your TV

A code entry screen will appear. Type in the 8-digit code exactly as shown on your TV screen. Double-check each digit before pressing Continue.

Step 7: Confirm and activate your device

After entering the code, you'll see a confirmation screen. Tap Confirm to link your Disney+ account to the device. Your TV will automatically refresh.

Step 8: Choose your profile on the TV

Your TV will automatically load Disney+ and display the profile selection screen. Choose your profile (or create one) and start streaming your favourite shows and movies!

Tips & Troubleshooting

Code expired?

Go back on your TV and select "Get New Code" — a fresh 8-digit code will be generated instantly.

Wrong code error?

Check for lookalike characters (0 vs O, 1 vs I). Enter the code carefully — it's case-insensitive.

TV not refreshing?

Check your TV's internet connection. Try closing and reopening the Disney+ app after confirming the code online.

Use mobile browser

You can use any browser on your phone — Chrome, Safari, or Firefox — to visit disneyplus.com/begin.
