Sign out all other sessions from your account settings

Discord lets you end every active session except the one you are using right now. Open Discord on the device you want to keep logged in, then go to User Settings (the gear icon next to your username). Select Sessions from the left menu. You will see a list of every device currently logged into your account, with the device type, location, and last active time.

Find the session you want to keep active — usually labeled "This Device" or "Current Session" — and leave it alone. For every other session in the list, click the X button or Sign Out option next to it. Discord will end that session when ready. The person using that device will be logged out the next time Discord tries to sync, usually within a few seconds.

If you do not recognize a session — a location you have never been, a device type you do not own, or activity at a time you were asleep — that is a sign someone else has your password. Sign that session out first, then change your password when ready in the Password section of User Settings, a few lines above Sessions.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sessions menu in User Settings shows every device logged into your account, including the location and last active time.
  • You can sign out any session except the one you are currently using by clicking the X or Sign Out button next to it.
  • If you see a session from a location or device you do not recognize, sign it out and change your password when ready.
  • Signing out a session logs that person out on their device within seconds, but they can log back in if they still know your password.
  • Changing your password after signing out unknown sessions prevents anyone from logging back in with the old password.

What happens when you sign out a session

When you sign out a session from the Sessions menu, that device is logged out of Discord. If someone else was using that device, they will see a message saying they have been logged out. They will need to log back in with your username and password to use Discord again on that device.

Signing out a session does not delete the device from Discord's records or prevent it from logging in again. If someone has your password, they can log back in when ready. That is why changing your password is the critical second step — it makes the old password useless, so even if they try to log back in, they cannot.

Change your password after signing out unknown sessions

Go to User Settings and select Password from the left menu. Enter your current password, then type a new password twice to confirm it. Discord will ask you to verify your email address or use two-factor authentication if you have it enabled. Click Change Password when you are done.

Use a password that is at least 12 characters long and includes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid passwords based on your name, birthday, or other information someone could guess. A password manager like Bitwarden or 1Password can generate and store a strong password for you.

After you change your password, every session except the one you are currently using will be signed out automatically. This is Discord's safety feature — when you change your password, the system assumes someone else might have had access and logs everyone out to protect you.

Enable two-factor authentication to prevent future lockouts

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second step to logging in. After you enter your password, Discord asks for a code from an authenticator app on your phone. Even if someone has your password, they cannot log in without that code.

To turn on 2FA, go to User Settings and select My Account. Scroll down to Two-Factor Authentication and click Enable. Discord will show you a QR code. Open an authenticator app like Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or Authy on your phone, scan the code, and enter the six-digit code it generates. Save the backup codes Discord gives you in a safe place — you will need them if you lose access to your phone.

With 2FA enabled, anyone trying to log in from a new device will need your password and a code from your authenticator app. This stops most account takeovers, because attackers usually have only your password, not your phone.

Check if your password was leaked in a data breach

If you think someone got your password from a data breach rather than guessing it, check whether your password appears in known breaches. Go to haveibeenpwned.com, enter your email address, and the site will tell you if your account was in a public breach. If it was, change your Discord password even if you have not noticed any suspicious activity.

Data breaches happen to large websites regularly. Your password might have been leaked from a site you have not used in years. If you use the same password on multiple sites, change it everywhere — attackers often try passwords from one breach on other popular services like Discord, Gmail, and Twitter.

Review connected apps and remove ones you do not recognize

Some apps and websites ask permission to access your Discord account. If you granted permission to an app you no longer use or do not recognize, it can still log in as you. Go to User Settings, select Authorized Apps, and look at the list of apps that have access to your account.

Click the X or Revoke button next to any app you do not recognize or no longer use. This removes its permission to access your account. If you see an app you use regularly but do not remember authorizing, it may have been added by someone else with access to your account — revoke it and change your password.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will signing out a session delete their messages or data?

No. Signing out a session only logs them out of Discord on that device. Their messages, servers, and account data remain unchanged. They can still see everything they could see before if they log back in with your password.

Can I sign out all sessions at once, including the one I am using?

No. Discord always keeps your current session active so you do not accidentally lock yourself out. You must sign out each other session individually. If you want to log out completely, sign out all other sessions first, then log out the current one.

What if I do not recognize any of my sessions?

Sign out every session you do not recognize, change your password when ready, and enable two-factor authentication. If you cannot access your account at all, use Discord's account recovery process on the login page to regain control.

How often should I check my sessions?

Check your sessions if you notice unusual activity, after changing your password, or if you have not logged in from a device in months. Most people do not need to check regularly, but it takes less than a minute and can catch unauthorized access early.

Does changing my password sign me out on my phone?

Yes. When you change your password, Discord automatically signs out all sessions except the one you used to change the password. You will need to log back in on your phone and other devices with your new password.
