Forgot Discord Password? Here’s What to Do

It is always frustrating to be locked out of an account and not be able to access your Discord servers. We all use Discord to keep in touch with our friends, guilds, and communities and without access, we may miss out on some fun activities.

As passwords can also be hacked, it is always a good idea to periodically change yours, especially if you have Discord Nitro. With the premium service, your credit card may be linked to your account.

Fortunately, regardless of the reason you need to change it, you can easily reset your Discord password on desktop and on your mobile device. Here’s how:
