Logging In To The Discord Desktop App Using A Mobile Device

Discord app icon

Discord is a very popular app for gamers, and it is used by gamers to communicate during gameplay. Many other communities use Discord as well, and it has become a very popular alternative to TeamTalk, as it is a mainstream product. One obstacle to using Discord though is that the Discord Desktop app is difficult to navigate, and is also difficult to log in to. This part of Discord does not need to be difficult though if you use your movile device for the login process. Here’s how this works.

Bypassing the Desktop Login Process

The Discord app has always let users login with their username and password, but the desktop app may also require the user to solve an hCAPTCHA, which shows images on the screen to be solved. There is an accessible cookie that can be installed in the browser, but this can also be difficult.

Another solution that exists though is that the Discord Desktop app also shows a QR code on screen. This QR code is the key to a fast and easy login process.

Using the QR code in the Desktop App

Use the following process to login to the Discord desktop app using the mobile app.

  1. Login to the Discord Mobile App
  2. Use the QR Code scanner either from the camera or control center on your mobile device and point the camera at your computer’s monitor
  3. Select the option that appears to open the Discord Mobile app.
  4. Approve the login request on your phone.

You should now be logged in to your Discord account on your PC or Mac computer.

Conclusion

Logging in to Discord on the computer can be fairly complicated, and I have even found it difficult with low vision. Using the QR code really helps to automate this process, and takes a lot of the struggle out of logging in.
