Until August 2024 the only way into Midjourney was Discord. Now you go to midjourney.com, press Sign Up and continue with a Google account or a Discord one. There is no Midjourney username and password of its own. Every plan works on the website and on Discord, and this module uses the website throughout. Choose a plan on the Manage Subscription page, and remember that yearly billing is selected until you click Monthly Billing.
