To log in to Discord, open the app or website and enter your registered email and password. If you have two-factor authentication enabled, you will also need to provide the code from your authenticator app.
How to log in to Discord on a computer
Logging in on a computer is quick. Follow these steps to access your account.
- Open the Discord application on your computer or go to the Discord website.
- On the login screen, enter the email address and password associated with your account.
- Click the login button.
- If you have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled, enter the code from your authenticator app when prompted.
- Once your credentials and 2FA code are accepted, you will be logged in and can access your servers and channels.
Discord also offers a QR code login option for computers, which lets you sign in without typing your password. To use this method, open the Discord login page on your computer. On your mobile device, open the Discord app, go to your profile, then to User Settings, and select Scan QR Code. Point your phone's camera at the QR code displayed on your computer screen. After scanning, you must approve the login request on your mobile device. If you need to sign into among us on a tablet instead, the process uses a similar quick-scan method. Once you're logged in, you can dm someone on Discord without being friends if their privacy settings allow it. Note that QR codes are only valid for two minutes; if the code expires, refresh the page for a new one.
How to log in to Discord on a mobile device
Logging in on a phone or tablet is just as straightforward. Follow these steps to get started.
- Open the Discord app on your mobile device. If you do not have it installed, download it from your device's app store.
- On the login screen, enter your registered email address and password.
- Tap the login button.
- After successful verification, you will be logged in and can access your servers, channels, and contacts.
If you have previously logged in on the same device and selected the "Remember Me" option, you may be automatically logged in when you open the app.
Common login issues and how to troubleshoot them
If you cannot log in, check your credentials first. Passwords are case-sensitive, so ensure your Caps Lock is off. If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot your password?" link on the login screen to reset it. Discord passwords must be at least eight characters long, and using a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters is recommended.
If you have lost access to your authenticator app and do not have backup codes or cloud sync enabled, Discord cannot help you recover your account. This is a critical point: without backup codes or cloud sync, your account may be permanently inaccessible if you lose your 2FA method. Always save your backup codes in a secure place.
Discord will never ask for your password or login token. Be wary of anyone who requests this information, as it is a common phishing tactic. If you receive such a request, do not respond and report it to Discord.
If you are still unable to log in, ensure your Discord app is up to date. Outdated versions can cause login problems. You can check for updates in your device's app store. Also verify that your device meets the minimum system requirements for running Discord. If you are using a shared or public computer, remember to log out after your session to protect your account.
If you need to create a new community space, you might want to make a stage in Discord. This feature allows you to host audio events where audience members can listen and raise their hands to speak.
If you continue to experience login issues after trying these steps, Discord's support team can provide specific guidance for your situation.
