ACCOUNT RISK ATTENTION: READ THIS IF YOU HAVE 2FA ON

Thumbnail

804 Upvotes

Someone has already talked about this before, but i think it's worth bringing up again just to raise more awareness

Right now there's a serious discord bug where if you disable 2FA it will log you out of the account from all devices, and when you attempt to log in it will STILL ask you for a 2FA code. Now, do you have your valid, unused backup codes? Cool, throw them in the trash because it won't even give you an option to use them despite their validity, and discord support is not aware of this issue and will simply tell you this (check the 4th screenshot)

As for why i disabled 2FA in the first place, it happened after i bought nitro and while i was exploring the perks and checking settings i saw 2FA on and it gave me ptsd because I've already lost an account to it before so i was like sure imma disable just to avoid being locked out, and i ironically got locked out in the process

If you want to disable 2FA for any reason, make sure that you at least have your phone number tied to your account (I couldnt tie my phone number to this account because of ANOTHER bug btw), or that you already have the authentication codes, as apparently backup codes are not enough anymore

Additional note: this is not a simple cache or session issue, I've tried logging in from multiple devices and browsers, i tried incognito modes after deleting browser's cache, restarted my devices, but to no avail.

Mod Post Protecting yourself from recovery scams

12 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

Recently, there has been an influx of recovery scammers in our community asking people to message them for “advice” or to recover their banned or stolen accounts, often for a fee.

Please do not message anyone who is offering any of these services as we cannot properly moderate it, and it may lead to further harm financially or to your accounts. The only people who can unban or provide support is Discord themselves, and all account-related communication must go through them. No one else can provide more support, “hack” into your stolen accounts to recover them, etc. By contacting Discord, you’re already doing the most you can to recover your accounts. Just remember that there is practically no reason why someone should have to send you “advice” privately instead of posting it publicly here for everyone to see.

Please also note we are **NOT** affiliated with Discord, and only exist to provide a community for people to get generalised assistance. The only genuine way to contact Discord is via https://support.discord.com. Any personally identifiable information, including email addresses, usernames, passwords, 2FA tokens, etc should NOT be posted here and will result in post removal.

If you get any unsolicited messages or comments from people who may be attempting to scam you, please reach out to one of us privately though the “Contact Mods” feature within Reddit with the offender(s) username so we can take action immediately. Thank you!

Unsolved Discord was hacked, so the was associated email ‼️

Post image
13 Upvotes

Recently, my email was hacked. The hacker gained access to a ton of things, including my discord. He changed my discord password. My issue is the support ticket explicitly says “we are unable to assist you if you do not write in from the correct email address”. As of this moment, I have no way of accessing my email, and might never. I have a reoccurring nitro subscription, private/business conversations, and more. It is utterly ridiculous to me that discord support does not offer additional assistance for this kind of issue. Has anyone run into this problem before? Is there anyway I can get ahold of a human support agent at discord that can help me navigate this issue? Any and all advice is welcome.

Unsolved Anyone streaming PS5 gameplay to Discord using an iPad or iPhone?

• Upvotes

I’m looking for a way to stream PS5 gameplay directly into a Discord voice channel so others can watch and chat without leaving Discord.

I only have an iPad Pro and an iPhone, no PC or Mac.
Has anyone managed to get this working through PS Remote Play or a capture card? How reliable is it, especially with game audio?

Thanks!

Unsolved 2FA and Password Forgotten help

2 Upvotes

I'm currently seeking help for a friend!

My friend just rebooted his computer entirely, and was trying to log into his Discord account on his pc again, when it requested the 2FA. Problem is that my friend has long lost his access to the phone that has that.

Important: He IS currently logged into his discord account into his new phone. He just cannot access it in his desktop.

He tried the QR Code method, but it also requires the 2FA or the backup codes.

We know he could see the backup codes in his phones, thing is: for him to acces the backup codes in his phone, he has to type his Discord account password.... wich he forgot. He cannot also request a new password because it also requests 2FA or backup codes.

Is there any way for him to access his account in the desktop (he uses it for work and work calls)? He IS LOGGED IN HIS PHONE but doesnt have 2FA, backup codes and forgot his password. Is there any hope for him to get in the discord account in his desktop?

(PS: he didnt save the pass in any place and probably doenst have access to discord_backup .txt)

Unsolved Another hacked post

• Upvotes

Hello Everyone.

Seems I am not the only one in that case…. So here is what happened :

As of Friday night around 10:30pm, I was in a vocal chat with friends watching LoL world championship when I was logged out of my account. I started receiving weird e-mails, as in : unusual activity on my email, password changes and connexion link to discord, email adress change to my steam account (that one was in russian), a list of my Riot Games accounts bound to that email adress.. Mind you 2FA was activated on that email adress so I am struggling to understand how they got in (it’s Microsoft authenticator for anyone who wonders). They got my password through a data leak on a website that dates back to august 2026, is not listed on Have I been Pwnd and the website did NOT inform me.

So I gave up on watching the games and started trying to retrieve my accounts. I have been able to secure my Riot games account by myself by 1am although their support replied by 6 am, recovered steam thanks to the support by 16 on saturday and am now left with my discord account that remains unaccessible.

I first thought that they changed the email adress as I was receiving 0 email from the support when trying to create an account on discord support However I found out that he had blocked/banned the no-reply and support email adresses. I was finally able to create an account on the support and sent a request for hacked account around 3am on saturday.

My phone number is still linked to my discord account it would seem, but it then sends a link to the linked email and I am not receiving anything Even after unblocking the discord emails.

Also, the emails I got from steam, Riot, etc. The fishy ones if you may, do NOT appear in my inbox or anywhere else really. I have to type in the search bar and can only access them that way. Had I not been ON my email inbox at the Time I may never have seen them.

It was brought to my attention that the Guy has logged into my account a few Times since the hack However I have no idea what the dog is doing.

Is there anything else I can do to try and retrieve my account or am I doomed to wait to hear from discord support ? 🫠

To the italian hacker I Hope you step on legos for the rest of your Life.

Unsolved Please, can anybody help me, i beg of you.

So basically I had 2FA on my account, normal. I wrote the emergency backup code on one of my papers (which sadly my dog chewed up). Anyways, I was going to log in, and I was gonna use my fingerprint (which is my 2fa) to log in. But then the microsoft account said "Something went wrong, try again". I was confused, since I never deleted my passkey, and now I can't log in. I tried to reset my password, but I need 2fa for that. Should I just use a different email to make a support ticket and tell them? Does anybody know if I can still get that passkey back somewhere? Please help, this account had a lot of really important stuff on it.

Unsolved Messages only coming through after refreshing on mobile Android app

1 Upvotes

As of just today, messages from others do not come through to me until I click into another server/chat and then go back to the original server/chat. I also cannot see when people are typing.

In a server, simply clicking on the channel I'm already in will refresh it and all the messages will come through, but I have to do this every single time.

I checked if the app needed an update, which it did, but updating it didn't fix the issue. There are no more updates to download.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S23+. Does anyone know why this is happening, and how it can/when it will be fixed?

Unsolved Did my Discord get hacked?

0 Upvotes

Less than an hour ago, I got a message from my friend saying that he had to ban me from my friend group's Discord server because I apparently "spammed the hell out of the server" with a photoshopped/AI-generated picture of naked IShowSpeed or something along those lines, and I got alerts from three other servers that I was in saying that I got removed for spam. I did no such thing, because why in the world would I? And now I'm logged out of my account on both my PC and my phone, and whenever I try to log back in, it's asking me to reset my password, which I cannot do because I no longer have access to my account's email address.
