Reasons to Change a Discord Password
It’s important to change your passwords on all your social media accounts once in a while. Here are some reasons to change your Discord password:
-
Your Account Has Been Hacked
If you receive signs that your account has been compromised (such as an email about someone logging into your discord account from a location you’re unfamiliar with, etc), it’s time to change your password immediately.
-
Your Password Has Been Compromised
If any other accounts you’re using on different platforms have been hacked into, you should immediately reset your password (on that note, don’t use the same password for everything!).
-
You’ve Forgotten Your Password
If you’ve forgotten your Discord password, you will need to change it. If you frequently forget passwords, consider trying a password protector app that keeps your passwords safe while allowing you to easily use them when operating online.
That’s it! We hope this guide will help you out in case you wish to reset your Discord password.
