To use Midjourney smoothly, the first step is to correctly link your Midjourney account with your Discord account. Below, following the real workflow, I’ll clearly explain the registration entry point, authorization steps, common sticking points, and switching methods. If you follow along, you basically won’t take any detours.
I. Prepare Discord Before Creating a Midjourney Account
Midjourney account login and authorization rely primarily on Discord, so having a stable Discord account ready first is more convenient. It’s recommended to complete Discord email verification and confirm you can receive emails normally, which makes account recovery easier later during authorization or risk-control checks. If you plan to use the same Midjourney account long term, try not to frequently change devices and IPs for your Discord account.
II. Complete Midjourney Account Login and Authorization on the Official Website
Go to midjourney.com. After clicking Log In, you’ll be redirected to the Discord authorization page. Make sure you select the correct Discord account before clicking Authorize; otherwise, your Midjourney account will be linked to a Discord account you don’t want to use. After authorization, you’ll be returned to the official site. If you can see your profile page and the subscription entry, it means your Midjourney account has been successfully linked.
III. After Linking, How to Join the Discord Server and Start Using It
For first-time use, you usually need to join Midjourney’s Discord server and accept the rules before you can generate in the designated channels. In the channel, type “/imagine” and submit your prompt; the job will run in the queue, and the result will be posted back to the same channel. If you find the command unavailable at this stage, first check whether you’ve joined the server, whether you’re in the correct channel, and whether your Midjourney account is indeed linked successfully.
IV. Switching Midjourney Accounts and How to Avoid Mixing Up Multiple Accounts
Switching Midjourney accounts essentially means switching the authorized Discord account: first log out on midjourney.com, then log out of the current account in Discord and log in to another account, then return to the official site to authorize again. To avoid Midjourney accounts getting “mixed up,” a more reliable approach is to use different browser profiles (Chrome/Edge profiles) to log in to different Discord accounts separately. If it still automatically jumps back to the old account, clear the site’s cookies and authorize once more—this usually switches the Midjourney account to the correct identity.
V. Make Your Midjourney Account More Stable: Security Settings and Quick Checks
Midjourney account stability largely depends on Discord account security. It’s recommended to enable two-factor authentication on Discord and bind an email you commonly use for recovery. In daily use, try to avoid frequent logins/logouts in a short period, and avoid frequently switching nodes or devices, as these behaviors are more likely to trigger verification. If the authorization page keeps redirecting repeatedly, first check whether your browser is blocking third-party cookies or whether you have script-blocking extensions installed, then retry the Midjourney account login process.
