Safety & Security Tips
Tip 1: Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
One of the best ways to secure your Discord account is by enabling two-factor authentication (2FA). With 2FA, even if someone gets ahold of your password, they won't be able to access your account without the second layer of security.
To enable 2FA: Go to User Settings > My Account > Enable Two-Factor Authentication and follow the steps. You'll need an authenticator app like Google Authenticator or Authy.
Tip 2: Be Cautious of Phishing Scams
Phishing attacks are common on many online platforms, including Discord. Scammers may try to impersonate someone you know, send you links to fake websites, or trick you into revealing your account details. Always be wary of unsolicited messages, and never click on links or download files from untrusted sources.
Avoid scams: Never share your login details or personal information with anyone, even if the message looks legitimate. Discord staff will never ask for your password.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: HOSTS WILL NEVER SEND YOU FRIEND REQUESTS OR DM YOU ON ANY OF OUR CRYPTO SCHOOL / CRYPTO BANTER DISCORD SERVERS ⚠️
Tip 3: Adjust Your Privacy Settings
Discord gives users control over who can message them and add them as friends. Adjusting your privacy settings can help you manage who has access to your account and prevent unwanted interactions.
Go to User Settings > Privacy & Safety to:
Enable safe direct messaging, which automatically scans and removes harmful messages.
Block friend requests from people you don't know by disabling the option to receive requests from members of servers you belong to.
Tip 4: Report Suspicious Behavior
Discord has a built-in reporting system to flag inappropriate content or suspicious behavior. If you encounter harassment, spam, or other violations of Discord's Community Guidelines, report it to the moderators.
You can report a user by right-clicking on their name and selecting Report. Provide as much information as possible to assist Discord in resolving the issue.
Tip 5: Use Strong and Unique Passwords
A simple but critical aspect of securing your account is having a strong, unique password. Avoid using easily guessable information like your name, birthday, or common words. Consider using a password manager to generate and store strong passwords for all your accounts.
Best practices: Combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters to create a secure password.
Tip 6: Protect Your Identity
Discord is a semi-anonymous platform, but it’s still possible to reveal personal information accidentally. Be mindful of the details you share in servers, including photos, location details, or links to social media accounts. Consider using a nickname rather than your real name and avoid sharing sensitive information in public servers.
