Midjourney User Guide: Linking Your Discord Account and Switching Login Authorization Guide

Logging in to and using Midjourney requires Discord authorization. Many issues actually come from “linking the wrong account” or not fully switching authorization. Below, in the real operational sequence, I’ll clearly explain how Midjourney links to Discord, how to confirm the link is successful, and how to reauthorize when you need to switch accounts. Follow these steps and, in most cases, you can get Midjourney back to normal within a few minutes.

Complete the Midjourney–Discord link on the official website

Open the Midjourney official website and click “Sign In,” then choose to continue with Discord. The browser will jump to the Discord authorization page. Confirm that it shows the Discord account you want to link, then click to authorize/approve. After authorization is complete, you’ll be redirected back to the Midjourney page—this step effectively links Midjourney to that Discord account.

It’s recommended that before authorizing, you first confirm which account is currently logged in on the Discord web version, to avoid the default account causing Midjourney to be linked incorrectly. If you’ve been logged into multiple Discord accounts at the same time, it’s best to log out of the extra accounts before authorizing, so the Midjourney linking will be cleaner.

How to confirm whether the Midjourney link was successful

After a successful link, you can usually see a Discord-related login status on your account page on the Midjourney website. Go back to Discord and, in a channel where you have permission, type /imagine to see whether you can bring up the Midjourney command normally and start joining the queue to generate images. If you can start a job and receive a message back from the Midjourney bot, it basically means the link is correct.

If you can see the Midjourney bot in Discord but your command input gets no response, first check whether the channel allows “Use Application Commands.” If you lack permissions, it’s not that Midjourney isn’t linked—it’s that the channel permissions are blocking it.

When you need to switch Discord accounts: how to reauthorize Midjourney

If you want to move Midjourney from Account A to Account B, the key is to fully log out of the old Discord session. First log out on the Midjourney website, then log out of the current account in Discord (web/client), and then log in again with the target Discord account. Finally, return to the Midjourney website, click “Sign In with Discord” again, and complete authorization—Midjourney will then follow the new account.

If you find that no matter how you authorize it always returns to the old account, it’s most likely because the browser cache is still there. Clear your browser cookies (at least the data related to discord.com and midjourney.com), or use an incognito window to go through the authorization flow again; Midjourney can usually link correctly.

Common issues: authorization failure, linking the wrong account, and the bot not appearing

If the authorization page won’t open or keeps loading endlessly, first disable proxy-type extensions and ad blockers, then try again with a different browser; Discord authorization is quite sensitive to scripts and redirects. If you linked the wrong Discord account, don’t keep clicking “Authorize.” Instead, follow the “log out of Discord + clear cookies” steps above, then log in with the correct account—only then will Midjourney truly switch over.

If you can’t find the Midjourney bot in a server, it may be that the bot hasn’t been invited to that server, or that application commands are blocked in your channel. Have an admin re-invite Midjourney and check channel permissions, then test again with /imagine.
