The Discord community hosts a huge number of servers for members to complete various activities. But some users might suddenly lose access to their Discord account, why do some logins fail? 

Login problems might be common on Discord if you try to access your account with the wrong details. Disabling your account or going against Discord’s policies might also cause login failures. 

You can fix Discord login failures and gain access to your account when you follow the right steps. Take cues from the steps in this guide to fix multiple Discord login issues and access your account with ease. 

Why Can’t I Log Into Discord?

You may find it difficult to log into Discord if you’re using an outdated app. Some versions of Discord may not work on some operating systems too.

You can update your Discord app and computer operating system to their latest versions to access Discord. 

Discord logins might fail too if your account has been disabled. 

You need to restore your Discord account before gaining access if you disabled it earlier. Also, you might have to contact Discord to activate your account if it was disabled due to a rule breach. 

Wrong login details may also cause Discord logins to fail. Check your login details properly for any errors; if that doesn’t work, consider resetting your password.

Import your Discord account login onto your preferred app. After importing the necessary details, you will require a code from that 2FA app to access Discord. 

Enabling 2FA will disable new login location detected requests whenever you try to log in. Discord will disregard any change in your location when 2FA is turned on in your account. 

Why is My Discord Account Disabled?

Discord might disable your account if you continuously post content deemed to be against their community guidelines. Some reasons why your account might get disabled include spamming, false complaints, sharing cheats, stealing passwords, bullying, and so on. 

Your account may be disabled too if you enter wrong login details several times. Discord might recognize your accounts with emails you enter (if it’s correct) and disable any account tied to that address. 

In some rare cases, a glitch in Discord’s algorithm could disable a user’s account for no reason. But it’s worth noting that there’s always a way to restore your Discord account, no matter why it was disabled.

Does Discord Remove Inactive Accounts?

Discord doesn’t remove inactive accounts from its servers. The only event when an inactive account is removed is when someone reports such an account for spamming.

Discord will only remove an inactive account if its owner logs in a deletion request. If Discord receives an account deletion request, it usually takes 14 days before the account goes permanently offline. 

Why Did My Discord Log Me Out?

Your Discord may log out unexpectedly if its AppData cache on your computer becomes filled up. Outdated apps or video card drivers, a slow internet connection, and inactivity can also log you out of Discord.

An account with its username and tag showing as DeletedUser and #0000 is no longer active on Discord.
