7 Effective Ways to Resolve Discord Log Out Issues

ByJim Miller

Discord is a popular platform for connecting with friends and like-minded individuals. However, it can be frustrating when you keep getting logged out of your Discord account without any apparent reason. If you're facing this issue, don't worry! In this article, we'll provide you with seven effective solutions to troubleshoot and fix the Discord log out problem. Let's dive in!

1. Check Discord Servers

Before diving into advanced solutions, it's important to ensure that Discord's servers are running smoothly. Sometimes, server outages can cause login issues. If your Discord is not showing game activity, it could also be because of an outage in Discord servers. To check the server status, visit Discord's official server status page. If there are any reports of server outages, you'll need to wait until the issue is resolved.

2. Change Your Password

If you suspect that your Discord account has been compromised, changing your password is a crucial step. Follow these steps to change your password:

  1. Sign in to your Discord account on your PC and click on the cog-shaped icon at the bottom left corner to open User Settings.
  2. Switch to the My Account tab and click on the Change Password button.
  3. Enter your current password and set up a new password by entering it twice. Then, click on Done.

Additionally, consider enabling two-factor authentication for your account to enhance its security. Refer to our guide on how to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on Discord for detailed instructions.

3. Remove Third-Party App Access

Discord allows you to connect various third-party apps and services to enhance your experience. However, these apps can sometimes cause login issues. To remove access for these apps, open User Settings in Discord and switch to the Authorized Apps tab. Use the Deauthorize button next to each app to remove its access.

4. Avoid Using VPN

Using a VPN connection can sometimes trigger Discord to log you out repeatedly. This typically occurs when the platform detects your VPN connection as unreliable. To overcome this, disable your VPN connection and try using Discord without it. Check if the log out issue persists.

5. Clear Discord Cache

Discord, like many other apps, collects cache data to improve performance. However, if the cache data becomes corrupt, it can cause problems with Discord's functionality. If you suspect cache issues, follow these steps to clear Discord's cache:

Clear Discord Cache on PC:

  1. Press the Windows key + R to launch the Run dialog. Type %appdata% in the box and press Enter.
  2. In the following window, open the Discord folder and select the Cache, Code Cache, and GPUCache folders. Then, click on the trash icon at the top to delete them.

Clear Discord Cache on Android:

  1. Long press on the Discord app icon and tap the info icon from the menu that pops up.
  2. On the App Info page, go to Storage and tap the Clear Cache option at the bottom.

6. Update or Reinstall the Discord App

If clearing the cache doesn't resolve the log out issue, consider updating the Discord app. It's possible that the problem is caused by a bug, and a newer version with a fix is available. Alternatively, you can uninstall and reinstall the app on your PC or mobile device. This can help eliminate any issues caused by corrupted app data.

7. Prevent Browser From Clearing Cookies on Exit (For Browsers)

If you use Discord on a web browser and experience log out issues, it may be due to the browser clearing cookies on exit. To prevent this, follow these steps:

  1. For Google Chrome, type chrome://settings/cookies in the address bar and press Enter. Then, disable the switch next to Clear cookies and site data when you close all windows.
  2. Similarly, disable this option for other browsers you use.

Following these steps should prevent Discord from logging you out when using a web browser.

In conclusion, these seven solutions should help you overcome the frustrating issue of being logged out of Discord repeatedly. By following these steps, you can ensure a smooth and uninterrupted experience on the platform.
