Enter your 6-digit authentication code and click Remove 2FA. Use the authentication code you see in your authentication app (such as Authy or Google Authenticator) or that you received through SMS. This disables 2FA for your account.
- If you don't have your phone, you can use one of the 8-digit backup codes you received when you enabled 2FA. They might be in a file on your computer called "discord_backup_codes.txt."
- If you don't have access to your phone and didn't save your backup codes, there is no way to disable 2FA and you'll need to create a new Discord account.
