Keeping your account secure

A few habits keep other people out of your account.

• Use a password you don't use anywhere else, and keep it in a password manager.
• Turn on two-factor authentication in User Settings, My Account. After that, signing in also needs a code from an authenticator app.
• Check User Settings, Devices now and then. Log out any session you don't recognise.

Your password also protects the backup of your encryption keys, so a strong password keeps your old DMs safe too. How encrypted DMs work explains why.

Nobody who runs Discord will ever ask for your password.
