To use Midjourney smoothly, the first step isn’t filling out information to sign up, but preparing your Discord account and completing authorized login. This Midjourney tutorial will walk through “Register → Authorized login → Confirm email & account info → Switch accounts” in order, helping you avoid logging into the wrong account, linking the wrong account, and repeated verification.
First, prepare a Discord account: registration and basic setup
Midjourney is primarily used via Discord, so you need a working Discord account first. Open the Discord website or app, register with your email, and complete email verification. It’s recommended to enable two-factor authentication as well to reduce the risk of your account being stolen.
If you plan to use Midjourney long-term, it’s important to clearly set your avatar and nickname in Discord: later, when subscribing, authorizing, or recovering access, you can quickly confirm which account you’re logged into.
Join Midjourney and complete login authorization
When you click Log in on the Midjourney website, you’ll usually be redirected to the Discord authorization page; pay special attention to whether the Discord account shown in the top-right corner is the correct one. After confirming, approve the authorization, and the website will link your Discord identity to Midjourney.
After the first authorization, it’s recommended to immediately visit Midjourney’s Account page to check: whether your current plan, usage, and account information display correctly. This helps you quickly tell if you “logged in successfully but entered the wrong account.”
How to understand “binding an email”: it’s based on your Discord email
Many people think Midjourney requires binding an email separately, but in fact a Midjourney account essentially follows your Discord identity. In other words, the email used for your Midjourney account is usually the email currently bound to—and verified on—your Discord account.
