Authenticator app for Discord
How to set up or enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for Discord
To keep your Discord account secure, enable two-factor authentication (2FA). This page explains how Discord 2FA works, which methods Discord supports, and how to protect and recover your account. The most secure option is an authenticator app: store your Discord 2FA codes in MS Authenticator App and generate a fresh 6-digit code every time you sign in.
2FA methods Discord supports
- SMS text message
- Authenticator app (TOTP)
- Security key (U2F / WebAuthn)
An authenticator app (TOTP) is the sweet spot: free, offline, and not vulnerable to SIM-swap attacks like SMS.
How to enable or set up 2FA for Discord
Discord supports two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of protection. Follow our step-by-step Discord guide, or read the official Discord documentation ↗ for the exact, up-to-date steps.
How to recover your Discord account
If you've lost access to your Discord account, use the backup codes you saved when enabling 2FA, or contact Discord support to regain access. Once you're back in, re-add the account to MS Authenticator App.
