If you have a Premium subscription you’ll get ad-free streaming, offline downloads (on supported devices), etc.
Crunchyroll Activate Login: If you’re ready to dive into the world of anime on Crunchyroll, this detailed article will walk you through the login and activation process, device linking, and troubleshooting, all in a friendly, easy‐to‐follow way. Whether you’re using a smartphone, Smart TV, or console, you’ll be sorted in no time.
When you open Crunchyroll, there are two slightly different operations:
Login: entering your email/username and password to sign in.
Activate (or device linking): when you have the app on a device (TV, console, etc.), you may need to enter a code on another screen so that the device is authorised to use your account.
If you’re new:
1. On your computer/phone, open the Crunchyroll site (or app) and choose “Create Account”.
2. Enter a valid email address, password, and other required details.
3. You may be asked to pick a username/avatar and then click Continue.
4. Verify your email if required (check your inbox/spam).
If you already have the account:
1. Go to the login page: you’ll enter your email/username and password.
2. If you forget your password, use the “Forgot Password” option to reset.
If you’re using a Smart TV, console (e.g., PS4/PS5, Xbox), Android TV or other devices where typing credentials is cumbersome, you’ll likely use the activation code method.
Steps:
1. On your device (TV/console) open the Crunchyroll app and select “Login with Activation Code” (or such option) in the login screen.
2. A 6‐character code will appear on the device’s screen.
3. On another device (computer or mobile phone), head to www.crunchyroll.com/activate.
4. Enter the 6‐character code shown on your TV/console. Submit.
5. The TV/console should recognise the account and link the device after which you can watch.
If your device supports it, you may see a QR code on the screen. In that case:
Use your mobile device to scan the QR code. The Crunchyroll app (or browser) will guide you to confirm login.
This bypasses typing credentials on the TV/console.
Once you’ve successfully logged in and activated your device:
Browse the anime/manga catalogues, use your watchlist, manage profiles.
If you have a Premium subscription you’ll get ad-free streaming, offline downloads (on supported devices), etc.
In your account settings you can manage which devices are signed in, log out remote devices, change password, etc.
AT&T New Device Activation (2025): How to Quickly Activate a New Phone or SIM
Q1. Do I have to pay in order to activate my device on Crunchyroll?
A1. Activation of a device with a Free account or a Premium account is free of charge. Activation means connecting the device to your account. There is only a need for money when you choose the Premium subscription.
Q2. How many devices can I activate/ use at the same time?
A2. The number of streams that can be done at the same time depends on the subscription tier that you have. Free or Ad‐supported accounts may have a limitation; Premium accounts are usually allowed to be used on multiple devices at the same time. (You can check the details of your plan in your account settings.)
Q3. Can I change my devices? For instance, activate my new TV?
A3. Yes. You can deactivate your old device by logging out of it and then use the code method to activate your new device.
Q4. Why can’t I watch some content even if I have activated my device?
A4. Content rights regularly change depending on the territory. Thus, even if your device is activated and logged in, the availability of shows/movies may be limited due to licensing.
Q5. If I have forgotten my password, will I be able to activate a device?
A5. To get to “www.crunchyroll.com/activate” you need a working login which includes both email and password. If you have forgotten your password, you should reset it first from the “Forgot password” link, and then continue.

Q6. Can I only activate/deactivate devices a certain number of times?
A6. Normally there is no hard limit on the number of times you can do it, but if you frequently change devices, it may cause security checks to be triggered. You should try to keep your active devices in order and remove those that you do not use.
