2FA suggestion!
I had recently screwed myself over by activating 2FA. About a month ago I had decided to activate 2FA to make my account more secure, I did not realize I would forget my password so easily so I did not bother to write down my password. I was trying to sign into my account through the browser today and realized my password did not work, I tried to request a reset but since 2FA was on, I required a backup code or code from auth app (Which I did not have either haha). I started to panic and spoke to a support agent, they said they were unable to turn off the 2FA because of strict policies and could not reset my password randomly due to those same policies. I tried to remember what my password was because I knew it was something related to my previous password but I kept getting it wrong. Now I am currently hoping that discord does not randomly sign me out of my phone and PC (Which I am logged into at the moment). So I am basically stuck now. As for my suggestion, I really would like them to add a feature that would allow you to turn off 2FA without having to enter your password but with other credentials such as sending a verification email to your email. Although in this case, it is my fault for not writing down my password, backup codes, and activating a auth app, I still think that they should really do something about this problem because I am sure a lot of people were clumsy and may have experienced the trouble of this. A new feature or updated policy should allow people who had made this mistake like me to have a second chance and not suffer because of dumb mistakes we made.

If you want to log in anywhere else, you should be able to use the qr-code, since it surpasses 2fa iirc. Also, are you sure you can't just reset your password using your email address?

If you had a password (if resetting it works), you can retrieve the 2fa backup codes as long as you are logged in on one at least one device.
