HOW DISCORD MODERNIZED MFA WITH WEBAUTHN

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

This post discusses how Discord modernized its Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) with WebAuthn. WebAuthn provides a non-phishable, non-guessable, and user-friendly form of authentication. The switch to WebAuthn solved issues with Discord’s legacy MFA system by integrating with a new authentication flow (MFAv2), which addressed many existing issues in UX, architecture, and platform support.
