Open the service security settings
User Settings → My Account → Password and Authentication
Choose Enable Authenticator App. On mobile, open your profile settings, then Account. Discord provides a QR code or a setup key.
Add the account in Authenticator
- Keep the setup screen open. In Authenticator, use the add-account control.
- Scan the service’s setup QR code. On one phone, choose manual entry and copy the setup key instead.
- Give the entry a recognizable account label. Never share the setup key or QR code.
Confirm and keep a recovery method
Return to the service and enter the current code from your new entry. Setup is complete only after the service accepts it.
Enter the current six-digit code and activate the method. Keep Discord backup codes: support cannot simply remove MFA when recovery methods are unavailable.
If the code is rejected
Check the account, wait for a fresh code and check automatic device time. Keep the service setup page open until confirmation succeeds.
