Security News > 2023 > December > Discord adds Security Key support for all users to enhance security
Discord has made security key multi-factor authentication available for all accounts on the platform, bringing significant security and anti-phishing benefits to its 500+ million registered users.
Discord has now brought the WebAuthn feature to all Discord users, allowing users to replace the legacy MFA system that relies on time-based one-time passwords, 8-digit one-time backup codes, and SMS messages carrying a 6-digit verification code.
Discord users can now go into Settings > My Account > Register a Security Key and use WebAuthn to configure Windows Hello, Apple's Face ID or Touch ID, and hardware security keys for authentication.
Easy to use: By offering seamless integration with Windows Hello, Apple Face ID, and Touch ID, logging into your Discord account securely becomes much easier and quicker.
Legacy MFA options remain available for those who need them, so if you haven't set up any 2FA protections for your Discord account, consider adding one now.
