How can I help students who lost their QR code?

If your students use QR codes to log in to Discovery Education, there are two ways to help a student who has lost their QR code:

  • Print the student's current QR code from your saved student QR code page
  • Regenerate a student's QR code

Printing the Student's Current QR Code

If you generated student QR codes for your class at the beginning of the school year, open the student QR code document you saved when you generated the QR codes, print the document (cut out the student's QR code if applicable), and give the student a new copy of their QR code. 

Note: If you think another student could be signing in using the lost QR code, we recommend you generate a new QR code for the student. The current (lost) QR code for the student will stop working.

Teachers can create a new QR code for a student from the All Classrooms page. 

Open the All Classrooms Page

 The saved document will show all the information your students need to log in. We recommend naming this document something to help you remember when you created the passwords, like "Student Name DE QR Code.10.10.2025"

 

Printing The Student's QR Code

To view and print the new QR Code for the student, open the QR Code document you saved when you generated the new QR code for the student. Follow the prompts on your device to print the document.
