# DescriptorMismatch (/docs/errors/chain/DescriptorMismatch)

The descriptor does not match the account's permanent authorization record. Check the destination and exported public descriptor; re-registration cannot reset keys.

Declared by the `HashedAccounts` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`invalid_argument`](/docs/errors/invalid-argument).

Declared at [`pallets/hashed-accounts/src/lib.rs#L263`](/code/pallets/hashed-accounts/src/lib.rs#L263).
