If you have a Discover credit card but have not yet set up online access, registering takes just a few minutes. Once registered, you can view statements, make payments, set up alerts, and manage your rewards from any device.
1

Go to the registration page

Visit https://www.discover.com and click Register Your Account near the login area. Alternatively, go directly to the credit card registration flow. The exact label may vary slightly.
2

Enter your card information

Provide details from your Discover card, such as your card number, expiration date, and possibly the last four digits of your Social Security number. This helps Discover confirm your identity. Have your physical card ready.
3

Verify your identity

Follow the on-screen prompts to verify your identity. This may include answering security questions, confirming a code sent to your phone or email, or both. The exact steps may vary.
4

Create your User ID

Choose a User ID you will use each time you log in. Pick something memorable but not easy for others to guess. Avoid using your full name or card number.
5

Create your password

Create a strong password that meets Discover’s requirements. A good password is long, unique, and mixes letters, numbers, and symbols.
6

Set up security questions (if prompted)

Select and answer security questions. Choose answers that are easy for you to remember but hard for others to find online.
7

Review and submit

Review your information, accept any terms, and submit the form. You should see a confirmation message when registration is complete.
8

Log in for the first time

Return to the login page and enter your new User ID and password to confirm everything works.

Password tips

After registering, enable two-step verification if it is offered. This adds an extra layer of protection by requiring a code from your phone in addition to your password. See Two-Step Verification for details.
Only register on the official Discover website at https://www.discover.com or through the official Discover mobile app. Do not follow registration links from unsolicited emails or texts.
Discover will never call, text, or email you unsolicited to ask for your password, one-time code, or full card number. If someone does, hang up or delete the message and call the number on the back of your card.
