Setting a Username

When an account is created a default username is created by taking half of the first part of the email address and appending numbers until it’s unique. If you wish to create a username you can do that on your account page. Link:  Plex Web App: Account page

• Allowed characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, _, .
• Maximum length: 30 characters

Forgot Your Password?

If you’ve forgotten your password and need to have it reset, you can find a Forgot? link on email sign-in form.

Enter your email address and submit the form. If the address matches an existing, active Plex account, an email will be sent that contains instructions on resetting the account password.

Tip!: If there is no Plex account matching the submitted address or if you have deleted your Plex account, then no email will be sent.

Managing your Plex Account

Once signed in to your Plex account, you can manage your account information at any time from Plex Web App. Click the top right user menu and then choose Account. Here, you’ll be able to edit and manage various aspects of your Plex account.
