If you want to switch Midjourney accounts on the same computer or across multiple devices, the key is to distinguish between a “Discord account” and “Midjourney authorization.” This Midjourney tutorial explains the switching path, binding checks, and common errors in one go to help you avoid account mix-ups, insufficient permissions, and command failures.
First, understand this: Midjourney login relies on Discord authorization
Midjourney’s web version essentially logs in via Discord OAuth, and the account information shown on the site depends on which Discord account you’re currently logged into. In other words, what you think is switching Midjourney is actually switching your Discord identity.
If you have multiple Midjourney accounts, the most reliable approach is to bind each one to a different Discord account, then switch by “switch Discord account → re-authorize Midjourney.”
Correct steps to switch accounts on the Midjourney website
From the avatar menu in the upper-right corner of the Midjourney official site, first choose Log out to ensure the web session is cleared. Then open Discord on the web (or desktop) and confirm you’re logged into the target Discord account.
Go back to the Midjourney website and click Log in, then follow the prompts to complete authorization. After switching, go to your Midjourney profile page to check subscription status and whether the Fast/Relax queue display matches expectations, to avoid accidentally using another Midjourney account.
How to switch on Discord and check whether the “binding is effective”
After switching accounts in Discord, enter the official Midjourney server or a channel you commonly use, and try sending the simplest /imagine command to verify permissions. If the Midjourney bot doesn’t show the command menu, it’s usually because the account isn’t in the correct server, or the channel permissions don’t allow application commands.
It’s recommended to log different Midjourney accounts into different browser profiles (Chrome Profile) or different browsers so Midjourney and Discord don’t “cross-contaminate” each other’s login state. The same applies to multi-device login: keep only one Discord account logged in long-term on each device, and log out and back in when switching.
Common issues: insufficient permissions, commands not working, repeated login redirects
If you encounter “Missing Permissions/insufficient permissions,” first confirm you’re in a channel that allows application commands, then check whether the channel has disabled external apps or bots. Midjourney itself doesn’t require you to repeatedly invite the bot into a server, but it does require the server admin to grant permissions to send messages and use commands.
If the Midjourney web login keeps redirecting in a loop, it’s usually because browser cache or third-party cookie blocking caused authorization to fail. Clear cookies related to midjourney.com, temporarily allow third-party cookies and try again, or switch to a clean browser profile to log into Midjourney and switch accounts.
