Discord accounts are increasingly targeted by hackers. A compromised account can be used to spread malware through your servers, steal Nitro subscriptions, access private conversations, and damage your reputation in gaming communities. Server owners face even greater risks, as hackers can delete channels, ban members, and destroy communities.
Discord requires passwords to be at least 8 characters long. However, 8 characters is the bare minimum and easily crackable. We recommend using 16+ characters with a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters for true security.
Strong Discord passwords look like "D!sc0rd#G@m3r*8Zk" or "V0!c3Ch@t$9xQpL". These passwords combine various character types making them virtually impossible to guess. Never use your Discord username, server names, or gaming handles in your password.
To change your Discord password: Click the gear icon (User Settings) > My Account > Change Password. Enter your current password, then type your new password twice. On mobile, tap your avatar > Settings > Account > Change Password. Use our generator to create a strong new password first.
Enable 2FA for maximum Discord security. Go to User Settings > My Account > Enable Two-Factor Auth. You'll need an authenticator app like Google Authenticator, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator. Scan the QR code and enter the verification code. Save your backup codes somewhere secure!
If your Discord account is compromised: Try to log in and change your password immediately. If locked out, use Discord's password reset via email. Check your email for unauthorized changes, review authorized apps, and remove any suspicious bots. Enable 2FA after regaining access. Report to Discord support if needed.
Your Discord token is like a master key to your account. Never share it, paste it anywhere, or run suspicious scripts that ask for it. Token grabbers are common malware that steal Discord accounts. If you suspect your token was stolen, change your password immediately to invalidate the old token.
Discord requires passwords to be at least 8 characters long. For better security, Discord recommends using a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Our generator creates passwords that exceed these requirements.
Open Discord, go to User Settings (gear icon) > My Account > Change Password. Enter your current password and your new password twice to confirm.
Go to User Settings > My Account > Enable Two-Factor Auth. Download an authenticator app like Google Authenticator or Authy, scan the QR code, and enter the verification code.
If you saved your backup codes, use one to log in and disable/re-enable 2FA. If you don't have backup codes, you'll need to contact Discord support with account ownership proof. This is why saving backup codes is essential.
No, Discord stores passwords using encryption (hashing). Even Discord employees cannot see your actual password. However, your password can be compromised through phishing, malware, or reuse on breached sites.
