If you do something bad that gets you banned from Discord, your Connect account is not lost! With a password, you can log into your account from another account. It's super important that you keep this a secret, or someone might be able to steal your account from you! Passwords are encoded and kept safe, so you shouldn't worry. But when logging in, the old ID is removed from the account. Passwords are optional, but this would mean you wouldn't be able to recover your account if your Discord account is lost. Passwords have a minimum of five characters and a maximum of twenty.
