Midjourney User Guide: Account Registration, Linking Discord, and Switching Logins

This Midjourney user guide focuses on three things: how to register, how to link Discord, and how to switch between multiple accounts. Midjourney essentially “logs in with a Discord account.” Once you understand this, you’ll be much less likely to take detours later.

Before registering: Midjourney can’t work without Discord

Before using Midjourney, prepare a Discord account that works properly and complete email verification. It’s recommended to enable two-factor authentication in Discord as well, to avoid your Midjourney being affected if your account gets stolen.

If you plan to generate images with both a work account and a personal account, it’s best to get both Discord accounts organized from the start. That’s because your Midjourney identity, history, and permissions are all tied to the Discord account you log in with.

The correct process for Midjourney registration and linking Discord

Open the Midjourney official website, click “Sign in,” and choose to log in via Discord authorization. After authorization succeeds, your Midjourney account is effectively linked to that Discord account—there’s no need to separately register a username and password.

Go back to Discord, join the official Midjourney server or the generation channel you commonly use, and follow the channel rules to use commands. For first-time use, it’s recommended to enter “/info” once to confirm that the currently displayed account information and subscription status are correct.

How to switch Midjourney accounts: do it once on the web and once in Discord

Switching Midjourney accounts essentially means “switching Discord accounts.” Log out on the Midjourney website first, then re-authorize and log in with another Discord account. This step determines the history and asset ownership you see on the web.

Also check whether the currently logged-in account in the Discord client matches. The desktop Discord app supports adding/switching accounts; after switching, return to the relevant Midjourney channel to operate. When the web side and the Discord side don’t match, the most common symptoms are “records disappeared” or “permissions don’t line up.”

Common pitfalls: linking the wrong account, missing records, and inconsistent permissions

Many people think Midjourney is “registered with an email,” and then can’t find their previous work because they logged in with the wrong Discord account. The solution is straightforward: try logging into the Midjourney website with each of your Discord accounts and verify with “/info” to find the one that’s actually linked.

If you use Midjourney across different devices, try to stick to the same Discord account and avoid frequently saving multiple authorization states in your browser. When you need to switch completely, log out of Midjourney on the web first, then switch Discord accounts, and finally re-authorize to log in—this will be cleaner.
