How to setup 2FA for Discord account?
Step-by-step guide to setting up two-factor authentication on Discord using an authenticator app.
Download Authenticator App
Before we start, download and install the Authenticator App from your device's App Store.
To setup 2FA for your Discord account with our Authenticator App, you need to follow the next steps:
Log in to your account on the Discord app or website, then click the cogwheel next to your username to open User Settings.
In the My Account section, scroll down to the Password and Authentication area.
Click the Enable Authenticator App button to begin the setup process.
A QR code containing the secret key will be displayed. Please keep this window open to complete the setup.
Open our Authenticator App, click the + button at the bottom right of the screen, then hold your device near the computer screen to scan the QR code.
After successfully scanning, a 6-digit code will be shown at the bottom of the screen. Please note that this code refreshes every 30 seconds.
Return to the Discord app or website, enter the 6-digit code displayed in step 6, and then click Activate.
Remember to click "Save" in the Authenticator App to save your account, or you may lose access to your account!
After enabling an Authenticator App, Discord will provide a list of backup codes. These codes can be used once if you lose access to your Authenticator App. Make sure to download and store these backup codes in a safe place. You can also add these backup codes to our app for easy access.
