Unable to add Discover Bank accounts -- Savings, MM, Credit Card
Message is always "Sign into Discover Bank Failed. Try Again. Failed due to time out or a connection error." Have set my default browser to Firefox, Opera, and Chrome, — and all fail. Have received 3rd party sign forms for several other accounts at other banks without problem, but not this one. Problem has been going on for over a week and possibly longer.

Other users have had this same problem — as listed in the forum. The only question is — when will it be fixed. This was acknowledged by Quicken response member, but no resolution offered.

There's no resolution, since there's a problem (server or software) that needs to be fixed and is no work-around.

I am long time user with same problem described. I contacted Quicken on May 30 and they logged issue as known and being worked on. Today June 22 and still no resolution. In last few months I went from only having Discover CREDIT card account to adding on a few Discover BANKING accounts. All were added with no issues. Due to personal reasons w/ no significance to this issue, I had to close and open new Discover BANK accounts. When I went to add to Quicken I encountered this issue. While troubleshooting on my own, I reset one of the previously existing Discover Bank accounts that was not being replaced, which Quicken downloaded transactions properly for, and after the reset encountered the problem. I also encountered an issue with Quicken and Discover CREDIT card account resulting in re-adding it. That worked fine.
My summary at this point:
- The problem is between Quicken and Discover Bank adding any new accounts. This includes resetting or deactivate/reactive.
- Should not affect existing Discover Bank accounts.
- Should not affect new or existing Discover Credit card accounts.This is taking a VERY long time for Quicken to fix including at least 2 or 3 software updates so far that have not resulted in any resolution as far as today.

I am also logging this problem. account that exists works fine, but cannot add new accounts as login to Discover Bank fails.
for a software that we are forced to pay an annual subscription, it is getting to a point they need to start offering credit for non-functionality when they introduce a bug that cripples functionality and is not corrected within a few days

Ditto with all the above.
Longtime user of Quicken (1994?) and my Discover bank and credit card have been on my account since day 1 of Quicken use.
Wish I could remember which update I need to reset my Q account (rolled back my Q program and got my Discover accounts straightened out) - then another Q update and I selected "update" instead of "ignore" Now all problems have returned.
Spending WAY too many hours trying to reconcile my accounts. (Also have a Commenity Bank credit card that I get the message after update "need to Fix". I go through the steps and "confirm" that I've fixed the issue. Unfortunately, the next time I run the One Step Update the message returns - as well as messages that all 3 of my 5 Discover accounts have an issue.

Looks like this issue is now over a month old. Any resolution coming anytime soon?
