Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA for short) is the best way to add an extra layer of security to your Discord account to make sure that only you have the ability to log in.
This is the latest in personal security, and also the most secure! With Security Keys, you’ll be able to use a passkey (ex. FaceId, TouchId, Windows Hello) to gain access to your account. The way this works is when you register a passkey for Discord, you’ll protect it using your biometric (fingerprint or face) and the key itself lives on your device and in your provider’s cloud (e.g. Apple/Microsoft).
Whenever you want to use the passkey, you authenticate using your biometric so that your device sends the passkey data to Discord. And to be clear, we’re never given any biometrics data from your device.
- To set up a Security Key, select Register a Security Key and follow the prompts to reauthenticate. You’ll land on the notification so you can go grab your key and plug it in:
- Press Let’s go and interact with your key (you might need to tap it, select it, put your finger on it, scan your face, make an incantation over it). Afterwards, be sure to name it something you’ll remember.
- Then, remember to download and store your Backup Codes.
- And now its done.
You can now register another Security Key on this device or a different device (you can have up to 16 at the same time).

Security keys are the best way to protect your account because it is simple to use, on your own devices, backed up in the cloud, and, most importantly, phishing resistant.
