You cannot see your Discord password because Discord, like all secure services, stores only a cryptographic hash of your password, not the password itself. If you need your current password to log in on another device or save it in a password manager, the only option is to reset it to a new one you choose and remember. To make that new password both memorable and strong, try the 13 good password ideas and tips for secure accounts before you reset. The same limitation applies when you want to see your Netflix password on a shared family tablet.
Can you see your Discord password?
No. Discord has no feature that displays your current password. This is a standard security practice: even Discord’s own systems do not have access to your plaintext password. If you are already logged in and want to transfer your credentials elsewhere, you must reset your password. If you are locked out of your account, you must also reset your password, there is no way to view the old one.
How to reset your Discord password on desktop or browser
Resetting your password is the only way to set a new one you can see and use. Follow these steps on a computer or browser:
- Go to the Discord login page (discord.com/login).
- Enter the email address tied to your account.
- Click "Forgot your password?"
- Check the email inbox for the address you entered. Discord will send a password reset link.
- Open the email and click the reset link. This will take you to a page where you can create a new password.
- Type your new password and confirm it. You can now use this password to log in anywhere.
Once you complete these steps, your old password is permanently invalidated. Write down your new password or save it immediately.
How to reset your Discord password on mobile
The process works the same way on phones and tablets. Here is how to reset your Discord password on mobile:
- Open the Discord app or go to discord.com/login in your mobile browser.
- Enter your email address.
- Tap "Forgot your password?"
- Open your email app and find the message from Discord. It contains a reset link.
- Tap the link to open the password reset page in your browser.
- Enter and confirm your new password. Tap the submit button to save the change.
After resetting, you can log in on any device with your new password. If you use a password manager, it can capture the new password automatically so you do not have to reset again later.
Tips for creating a strong new Discord password
Discord requires new passwords to be a minimum of 8 characters long. That is the only technical requirement, but you should go further to keep your account safe. Discord recommends using a strong, unique password that is not used elsewhere and suggests using a password manager for generating and storing secure passwords. A password manager can create a random string of letters, numbers, and symbols that is far harder to guess than anything you would invent yourself. It also stores that password securely, so you never need to worry about forgetting it or typing it manually.
After you reset, consider enabling two-factor authentication for an extra layer of protection. This way, even if someone obtains your new password, they cannot access your account without your phone or authenticator app.
