Problem 1: Forgot Your User ID or Password

One of the most common login issues is forgetting your credentials.

Solution

After verification, you can recover your User ID or create a new password.

Password Requirements

According to Discover, passwords must:

• Be between 8 and 32 characters

• Include at least one number

• Be case-sensitive

Using a strong password with special characters can improve account security.

Problem 2: Account Locked After Multiple Login Attempts

Entering incorrect credentials several times may temporarily lock your account.

Solution

Try the following:

1. Wait a short period before attempting another login.

2. Use the password recovery option.

3. Contact Discover Customer Service if the account remains locked.

Many users report that account locks sometimes require assistance from Discover support to resolve.
