Discover card web site

woodyman100 — Sun, 23 Jan 2022 13:14:28 GMT

For the last 1 1/2 years or so I have not been able to access my accounts via the web site or mobile apps roughly 80% of the time.

I've sent messages and received responses that it is fixed.....

It's never fixed.

This began when I opened a Discover savings account. Of their own accord Discover decided to integrate both access passwords.

Anyone else had issues?

Well I have not personally had any issues. I'm sure you've already tried all these things, but I'll suggest them anyway:
Try deleting and reinstalling the app.

Try clearing your entire history/cache for the website.

Sorry to hear of your troubles but hopefully you get something figured out!

This doesn't sound like a Discover problem at all. There's much more likely something at your end causing this failure. Just FYI, I access the Discover website and app at least three times a week (if not more), and never have problems.

Have you tried using different browsers? Different computers? Or tablets/smartphones? If you're using a browser, do you know how to run it in its 'safe mode'--with all extra stuff, like extensions, turned off? Have you uninstalled the app AND all of its files, then reinstalled it?

Please give us more info, such as:

- device(s) you're using

- device(s) you've tried

- operating system of each device

- version of each operating system (if you know it, don't worry if you don't)

- browser(s) you're using

- browser(s) you've tried

- version of each browser (easily found by going to "Help | About")

- type of connection you're using (Wi-Fi at home, Wi-Fi that's public, cellular data)

- whether you're using a VPN

I'm confident we can get this sorted out, because it's apparently only affecting you; narrowing down how you're accessing the site will help a lot.

For what it is worth ... was able to keep two totally separate logins at Discover. One was for the credit products and the second one was for banking. Did use different user names and passwords so there was no chance of a screw up and it worked.

Discover left me alone.

their own.
Usually I like the oneness of it, but I had reasons for this remaining separate.

Have you tried clicking on the padlock symbol in the browser address bar? If not, when you navigate to Discover, click on the padlock and look for any blocked restrictions for Disco's website.

@GApeachy I have had trouble for over a year trying to access my Overstock account on my laptop and always got a Technical Difficulty error.

So I had to either use a phone call or pull it via mobile to manage account. I had tried accessing it on 3 different browsers, went into manual clearing cookies through the browsers, and tried several other troubleshooting methods nothing worked.

It serves me much better to handle the account on my laptop so after reading your post about clicking the LOCK icon I said "What The Heck".

I pulled up my account clicked the lock icon and it showed me a choice to clear cookies data off this computer.

I know I had done this previously (cleared cookies manually) on several occasions but clicked the button and attempted to log in.

Well to my surprise the website finally loaded once I inputted my username and password and the Technical Error did not rear its ugly face again.

I guess somehow using the lock to clear cookies is more efficient than the manual removal process.

So if anyone is having difficulties with a website loading (Disco,Overstock etc) this would be the route to take.
