Midjourney’s identity is centered on your Discord account: whichever Discord account you authorize to log in, that account is where your subscription and history go. Below, in the order of “switch accounts — revoke authorization — rebind,” the steps are explained clearly to keep things from getting more confusing as you switch.
First, understand this: where is a Midjourney account actually bound?
Midjourney doesn’t register a separate account system with an email; it identifies who you are through Discord authorization. In other words, on the same computer, switching Midjourney is essentially switching the Discord login state and the authorized account. Subscriptions (plans) are generally bound to the corresponding Discord user as well—if you switch to the wrong account, you’ll see “this subscription isn’t yours.”
Switching Midjourney accounts on the web: the correct way to log out and log back in
Open midjourney.com and log out from within the page first (if there’s a “Log out” entry, use it as the preferred option). Then open a new incognito/private window, visit midjourney.com, and click “Sign in”—this minimizes leftover browser sessions as much as possible. When the authorization pop-up appears, be sure the Discord username shown in the top-left of the pop-up is the one you want to switch to.
Unlinking and re-linking Discord: revoke Midjourney under “Authorized Apps”
If you find that no matter how you log in it keeps returning to the old account, it’s usually because Discord is still reusing the old authorization. Go to Discord User Settings, find “Authorized Apps,” locate Midjourney in the list, and choose to revoke access. After revoking, return to midjourney.com and log in again. Midjourney will trigger the Discord authorization flow again, and you can then cleanly rebind it to the new account.
Using across multiple devices and servers: don’t mistake “switching servers” for “switching accounts”
Under the same Discord account, the Midjourney bot can be invited to multiple servers or private servers; this only changes the usage context and does not change the Midjourney account itself. Using Midjourney on both your phone and computer at the same time is fine, but if one side switches Discord accounts, the other side may still remain on the old session. If you need to switch in sync, it’s recommended to log out of Midjourney on both ends and go through the Discord authorization process again.
Quick authorization check: confirm the switch succeeded
After switching, go back to the account/subscription page on midjourney.com and confirm that the displayed Discord user information matches the subscription status. If the Midjourney page shows the right username but the subscription is wrong, first check whether another Discord account is the one paying. As a daily practice, it’s recommended to keep your primary Midjourney account fixed in one browser profile, and use an incognito window or a second browser for another account—switching will be much less hassle.
