Are you worried that someone figured out your Discord password and that your account might be in danger? Or perhaps you just want to update your Discord password for good measure? Either way, we've got you covered. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to change or reset your Discord password, so you can keep your chats and personal information safe from prying eyes.
Why change a Discord password?
You might need to perform a Discord password reset for various reasons. We recommend changing your password if you suspect that someone hacked your account, found out your login details, or leaked them. Also, it is a good practice to change your password from time to time and use strong passwords to reduce the chances of hackers or snoopers.
Using a password manager like NordPass not only helps you generate passwords that are extremely difficult to crack but also ensures that you don't forget your passwords ever again.
