Midjourney User Guide: Registration & Sign-In, Account Switching, and Authorization Management Steps

This Midjourney user guide focuses on clarifying three things: how to complete registration and sign-in, how to properly authorize on the web, and how to switch safely when you need multiple accounts. Follow the steps and you can usually avoid common pitfalls like “can’t log in,” “authorization stuck,” and “accounts getting mixed up.”

1. How to register for Midjourney and sign in for the first time

Midjourney’s account system uses your Discord account as the entry point, so the first step is to prepare a Discord account that you can log into normally. After opening the Midjourney official website, click “Sign in.” You’ll be redirected to the Discord authorization page—confirm that the Discord avatar and username shown are yours before continuing.

Once authorization is complete, you’ll be taken back to the Midjourney web app, and registration is essentially done. It’s recommended that you quickly open the account page to check whether your Discord information is displayed, to avoid misunderstandings later like “I ended up in someone else’s account.”

2. Web authorization binding: how to confirm you didn’t bind the wrong account

On the Discord authorization page, pay attention to two things: whether the Discord account being authorized is correct, and whether the authorized application is the official Midjourney app. Only click “Authorize” after confirming everything is correct. Don’t keep clicking authorization back and forth across multiple browser tabs, as it can easily cause a redirect loop.

If you suspect the authorization was bound incorrectly, go to Discord “User Settings → Authorized Apps,” find Midjourney, and revoke it. Then return to Midjourney and sign in to authorize again. This won’t affect Discord itself—it only rebuilds the login association with Midjourney.

3. Switching between multiple Midjourney accounts: practical ways to avoid account mix-ups

Switching Midjourney accounts essentially means switching Discord accounts: first log out on the Midjourney web app, then switch to the target account in Discord and log in to Midjourney again. A more reliable approach is to use different browser profiles or incognito windows to log into different Discord accounts separately, reducing the chance of cookies overwriting each other.

Also note that Midjourney subscriptions are usually tied to the current Discord account, so trying to “move a subscription to another account” is often not possible. A more realistic approach is to cancel renewal on the billing page of the original account first, then subscribe again with the new account to avoid duplicate charges.

4. Login stuck and redirect loops: troubleshoot with these steps first

If the Midjourney web app keeps loading or repeatedly returns to the login page, first clear cookies and cache for the site, then retry with only one Midjourney tab open. If you’re using an ad blocker or privacy-enhancing extensions, temporarily allow Midjourney and Discord—many cases of “nothing happens when I click the button” are caused by blocking.

Also check whether Discord is in a usable state: risk controls on the account, a requirement for additional verification, or an unstable network can all cause Midjourney authorization to fail. Log into Discord first and make sure it’s stable before going to Midjourney; the success rate will be noticeably higher.
