After using Midjourney for a while, many people run into the need to switch Discord accounts, re-authorize, or clean up old permissions. This article lays out the exact sequence for Midjourney’s authorized login, unbinding the old account, and switching to a new one. If you follow the steps, you usually won’t have to go in circles. As long as your Discord account is in good standing, switching Midjourney isn’t complicated.
Midjourney Authorized Login: First confirm which Discord account you’re using
Logging in to Midjourney on the web is essentially done through Discord authorization, so the first step is to confirm which Discord account is currently logged in in your browser. It’s recommended to open discord.com in the same browser and check the avatar and username at the bottom right to avoid authorizing the wrong account. After confirming everything is correct, open midjourney.com, click Log in, and approve the authorization. Midjourney will then link your identity to that Discord account.
Unbinding Midjourney Authorization: Revoke “Authorized Apps” in Discord
If you want to completely disconnect Midjourney from your old Discord binding, the most reliable way is to revoke the authorization in Discord. The usual path is: Discord User Settings → Authorized Apps → find Midjourney → Deauthorize. After revoking it, the Midjourney web client will ask you to log in again via Discord authorization.
Switching Midjourney Accounts: Log out of Midjourney and Discord, then re-authorize
When switching Midjourney accounts, don’t just log out of the Midjourney website—you also need to handle your Discord login state. First log out on the Midjourney web client, then log out of the current account on Discord (web or app) and log in to the target Discord account. Finally, go back to Midjourney and click Log in to authorize again, and Midjourney will complete the switch using the new Discord identity.
An Easier Switching Method: Use separate browser profiles / Incognito windows
If you frequently switch between different Midjourney accounts, it’s recommended to use your browser’s “Profiles/Multi-user” feature and keep the two Discord accounts in separate browser profiles. For temporary operations, you can also log in to another Discord account in an Incognito window and then authorize on Midjourney. This reduces the chance that Midjourney gets confused by cache and cookies, making back-and-forth switching smoother.
Common Sticking Points: Authorization page won’t open, blank after authorization, “not in the server” prompt
If the Midjourney authorization page is unclickable or blank, first disable ad blockers and script-related extensions, then clear your browser cache and try again. If it says you’re not in the Midjourney server, join the official Midjourney server in Discord and complete the basic verification, then return to Midjourney to log in. If it keeps bouncing back to the authorization page, it’s usually because the browser isn’t writing cookies—switching to Chrome/Edge or using an Incognito window typically fixes it.
