10 Tech How-To

How to Check Where Your Discord Account Is Logged In

Guide 10-29903 · Updated · Step by step

This guide shows you how to see every device and location where your Discord account is currently logged in, and how to log out of any session you don’t recognize. You’ll need your Discord login credentials and access to either the desktop app, the web client, or the mobile app — all three show the same session list.

What You’ll Need

  • Your Discord username/email and password (to log in if you’re not already).
  • Access to Discord on a desktop browser, desktop app, or mobile app.
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) code if you have it enabled — you may be asked to verify your identity before viewing sessions.

Step-by-Step

  1. Open Discord and log in. Go to discord.com/login in a browser, or open the Discord desktop app. Enter your credentials and complete 2FA if prompted.
  2. Click the gear icon (User Settings). It’s at the bottom-left corner, next to your username and avatar. On mobile, tap your avatar in the bottom-right, then tap the gear icon at the top.
  3. Navigate to the “Sessions” section. In the left sidebar, scroll down to the “Authorized Apps” group. Under that, you’ll see Sessions. Click it. (On mobile, look for “Sessions” in the settings list.)
  4. Review the list of active sessions. You’ll see each session with the device type (e.g., “Windows Desktop”, “iPhone”), the approximate location (city/region), and the last time it was active. The current session is marked as “Current Session” and cannot be logged out from this list.
  5. Log out of any session you don’t recognize. Click the X next to a session to instantly log it out. A confirmation popup will appear — click “Log Out” to confirm. On mobile, tap the three dots next to the session and choose “Log Out”.
  6. If you suspect unauthorized access, change your password. Go to User Settings → My Account → Password. Choose a strong, unique password and enable 2FA if you haven’t already.

Common Mistakes

  • Confusing “Sessions” with “Authorized Apps”. The Sessions page shows logins to your account. Authorized Apps shows third-party apps that have permission to use your Discord data — they are separate.
  • Ignoring the location field. The location is approximate (based on IP address), so a session might show a nearby city even if you’re using a VPN. Don’t panic if the city is slightly off.
  • Logging out the wrong session. If you use Discord on multiple devices, make sure you’re clicking the X on the one you want to remove. The current session is always labeled.
  • Not checking after a password change. Changing your password does not automatically log out other sessions — you still need to manually log them out from the Sessions page.

Tips

  • Use the “Log Out All Known Sessions” button. At the top of the Sessions page, there’s a button to log out every session except the current one. This is handy if you’ve lost a device or think your account is compromised.
  • Check sessions regularly. Make it a habit to review your sessions every few weeks, especially if you use Discord on shared or public computers.
  • Enable two-factor authentication. Even if you don’t have security concerns right now, 2FA adds a critical layer that makes unauthorized logins much harder.
  • Use the “Current Session” as a reference. Knowing which device you’re on helps you spot unfamiliar entries — anything that’s not your current device should be investigated.

Troubleshooting

I can’t find the Sessions option. Make sure you’re in User Settings (gear icon), not the server settings. On mobile, scroll down in the settings list — it’s under “Authorized Apps”. If you still can’t find it, try the web version at discord.com — the layout may be more familiar.

The session list is empty or shows only the current session. This can happen if you’ve never logged in from another device, or if Discord hasn’t updated the list yet. Refresh the page or close and reopen the app. If the issue persists, log out and log back in — that will refresh the session data.

I see a session I don’t recognize, but I can’t log it out. If the X button doesn’t work, try clicking the session to expand it — sometimes the log out option is hidden. If that fails, change your password immediately and then use the “Log Out All Known Sessions” button.

I’m worried someone is using my account right now. Go to the Sessions page and click “Log Out All Known Sessions” to kick everyone out. Then change your password and enable 2FA. If you suspect a data breach, also check your email for any Discord notifications about new logins.

Location shows a different country than where I am. This is normal if you use a VPN, or if your ISP routes traffic through another region. The location is approximate and not a precise GPS coordinate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see which device a session is from? Yes, each session lists the device type (e.g., “Windows Desktop”, “Android”, “Chrome on Mac”). This helps you identify whether it’s your phone, laptop, or something else.

Does logging out a session delete my messages or data? No, logging out just ends that session’s access to your account. Your messages, friends, and server memberships remain intact. You can log back in anytime.

Why does Discord show a session I already closed? Sessions may remain visible for a short time after you close the app or browser. They disappear once Discord detects the connection is closed, which can take a few minutes. If it persists, log out manually from that device.

Can I log out of a session remotely from my phone? Yes, the Sessions page is available on the mobile app. Tap your avatar, go to Settings, then Sessions, and you can log out any session just like on desktop.

Will changing my password log out all sessions? No, changing your password does not automatically log out other sessions. You must manually log them out or use the “Log Out All Known Sessions” button.

Is it safe to use Discord on a public computer? It’s safer to use the web version in incognito mode and log out when you’re done. After logging out, check the Sessions page to ensure no session remains. Avoid saving your password in the browser.
