Hacking Discord is easier than anything else because every account has a passcode that you can easily obtain using regular social engineering or remote access and it bypasses everything, even 2FA.

What passcode? Are you referring to recovery codes?

[–] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Idk anything about any recovery codes. I was referring to a thing that's called something like "security token".

[–] lud@lemm.ee 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah, alright. Like an API key.

[–] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

No it's not an API key. It's changed every time you change your password so it's basically an alternative one but it has an additional feature of bypassing 2FA.
