Troubleshooting

'We couldn't update your password' message

If you get this message, it means the password you entered doesn't match what we have for your account. To resolve this, try the following:

  • Retype your current password (choose the Eye icon to reveal your password as you type it).
  • Reset your password. To do this, go to max.com/forgot-password and enter your account email.
    Need help? Go to Can't reset password.
Didn't get the email?

If you didn't get a confirmation email from max@service.max.com, try these things:

  • Search all inbox folders (including Promotions, Junk, and Spam) for an email from Max (email subject: Please confirm email address change).
  • Try the Change email steps again with a different email address. Your new account email can't be associated with another Max (or HBO Max) account.
