Step-by-Step Fix
1. Check for Active Outages
Visit status.midjourney.com before doing anything else. If Midjourney's login service is down, the login page will not work regardless of what you do locally.
2. Test in Incognito Mode
Open an incognito window and go to midjourney.com. Incognito disables extensions and uses a fresh session with no cached data.
- Login page loads in incognito → Problem is an extension or corrupted cache (go to step 4)
- Login page still broken in incognito → Problem is your network or Midjourney's servers (go to step 5)
3. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies
Stale cached files and cookies are the most common cause of login page problems.
- Open browser settings → Privacy and Security → Clear browsing data
- Check Cookies and other site data and Cached images and files
- Set time range to All time
- Click Clear data
- Also clear data specifically for discord.com if you log in via Discord
- Fully close and reopen your browser (do not just open a new tab)
- Go to midjourney.com and try logging in
4. Disable All Browser Extensions
Extensions — especially ad blockers, privacy tools, and script blockers — frequently prevent the Midjourney login page from loading correctly.
- Go to chrome://extensions in Chrome (or the equivalent in your browser)
- Disable every extension by toggling them off
- Navigate to midjourney.com
- If the page loads correctly, re-enable extensions one at a time to find the problem one
5. Try a Different Browser
If disabling extensions does not help, try a different browser entirely. Common browsers to test:
- Chrome → try Firefox or Edge
- Safari → try Chrome
- Firefox → try Chrome
Browser-specific caching or rendering issues can prevent specific pages from loading even after clearing the cache.
6. Check Your Network
Some networks block Midjourney or Discord authentication endpoints.
- Disable your VPN temporarily
- Try using a mobile hotspot instead of home or office Wi-Fi
- If on a corporate or school network, try from a personal network — many enterprise firewalls block external OAuth flows
7. Allow JavaScript and Pop-ups
The Midjourney login page requires JavaScript, and the OAuth flow opens a pop-up window.
Allow JavaScript:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy → Site settings → JavaScript → Add midjourney.com to allow list
Allow Pop-ups:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy → Site settings → Pop-ups and redirects → Add midjourney.com and discord.com
8. Access via Discord Instead
If the Midjourney login page continues to fail, you can use Midjourney directly through Discord:
- Go to discord.com and log into your Discord account
- Join the Midjourney server at discord.gg/midjourney
- Use the /imagine command in any bot channel
- Your subscription is active regardless of whether the web interface is working
Why This Happens
The Midjourney login page depends on JavaScript rendering, CDN-delivered assets, and an OAuth redirect chain involving either Discord or Google. If your browser blocks any part of this — through an extension, strict cookie settings, or a pop-up blocker — the page will show a blank screen, a loop, or an error. Network policies and VPNs can also break the OAuth redirect by interfering with the handoff between Midjourney's servers and the identity provider.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Only refreshing without clearing cache — Refreshing does not remove corrupted cached files. Use the full clear browsing data function.
- Not allowing pop-ups — The Discord and Google OAuth windows are pop-ups; blocking them prevents login from completing.
- Testing with VPN active — VPNs add complexity to OAuth redirect chains and frequently cause login page issues.
- Assuming the login page URL is wrong — The correct URL is midjourney.com. There is no alternate login URL, and third-party "Midjourney login" pages are not official.
- Not trying Discord as a fallback — Discord is a fully functional alternative way to use Midjourney when the web login page is not working.

Additional FAQ
Q: What is the fastest way to diagnose a login problem? The fastest diagnostic is to open an incognito or private browser window and attempt to sign in there. Incognito windows run without extensions and use fresh cookies, which isolates the two most common causes: a browser extension interfering with authentication, or corrupted session cookies. If login works in incognito, the issue is your main browser profile. If it still fails, the problem is your network, your account, or a platform-side incident.
Q: Why does clearing browser cache fix login issues? Your browser caches session tokens and authentication cookies that prove you are logged in. If these become corrupted or expire mid-session, the browser may present an invalid token on each page load, causing the server to reject the session and redirect you to login. Clearing site-specific data forces the browser to request fresh tokens on the next login, which resolves most session-related loops without affecting your other browser data.
