How to Reset Your Discovery Plus Password

Whether you’re bingeing 90 Day Fiancé or Deadliest Catch, your Discovery Plus subscription is your gateway to adventure and high-stakes entertainment. But if you’re reading this, it’s likely you’ve forgotten your password and need to recover your account.  

To unlock access to the content you love, see our easy Discovery Plus password reset instructions below. 

I forgot my Discovery+ password 

Before we start, it’s important to note that if you subscribed to Discovery+ through a third-party platform like Prime Video, Roku, DIRECTV, DIRECTV STREAM, DISH, or Sling TV, you’ll need to manage the account recovery process there. 

How do I reset my Discovery Plus password? 

If you’ve forgotten your Discovery+ password, you have two options for recovery. 

#1 Signing in with a code instead of a password

1. On the Discovery Plus login page, choose Get a Code Instead when prompted for your password. 
2. In your inbox, check for an email from Discovery+ with the subject line "Time Sensitive: Your one-time Discovery+ code.”  
3. Next, enter the 6-digit code on your device screen. 
4. Choose “Who's Watching” to get back to your favorite shows. 

If you don't get an email from noreply.email@discoveryplus.com, be sure to check your Promotions, Junk, or Spam folders. 

However, if another email is associated with your Discovery+ account, repeat the ‘Sign in without a password' steps with that email. 

If none of the above yields results, try submitting a request with the official Discovery+ help desk. 

#2 Resetting your account

If you subscribed at Discoveryplus.com or are wondering, “How do I reset my password on the Discovery+ app,” here’s how to do it: 

1. Go to discoveryplus.com/forgot-password. 
2. Enter your Discovery+ account email and select “Forgot password?” 
3. You should see a Discovery+ 'Password Reset' email in your inbox within a few minutes. 
4. Open the email and choose Reset Your Password. 
5. Follow the instructions to create a new password and choose Save.

How can you keep your Discovery Plus account safe? 

Here are three (3) easy ways to keep your Discovery Plus account safe: 

• Monitor the number of devices and viewing locations regularly. This helps you identify suspicious activity so you can take immediate action, such as changing your password or logging out unfamiliar devices. 

• Avoid sharing login credentials with people outside your household. If you have a Max account (HBO Max merged with Discovery+ to form Max in 2023), you can now add an extra profile for someone outside your household for $7.99/month.  

The Extra Member feature, however, isn’t yet available for standalone Discovery+ accounts. Remember that sharing login credentials can increase your risk of account lockouts, identity theft, and the compromise of your payment information. 

• Keep your Discovery Plus login credentials safe in a Secure by Design password manager. With LastPass, your sensitive information is protected by military-grade AES-256 encryption, and you get powerful features like URL encryption, Dark Web Monitoring, and advanced MFA. And best of all: LastPass remembers your login info and autofills it for you. This means you’ll never have to worry about forgetting your password again. 

All my passwords are kept safe, encrypted, and 2-factor authenticated so I don't have to worry. I have hundreds of logins, and I have a different strong password for each, and I cannot imagine what it would be like to manage that on paper. I use it many times every day, both in my personal affairs and in my professional work as a teacher (Aaron C, German teacher and verified G2 reviewer).

Last Pass is a great password manager tool for a busy IT department or any department as a matter of fact. Have passwords all over the place? Have passwords on an unsecure spread sheet? Look no further. The nice part about Last Pass is it keeps track and updates the passwords as you go. I could not do my job without it. We also use secure notes and credit card storage for our corporate credit cards (Jennifer G, verified G2 user).
