@everyone REAL QUICK TLDR; delete and ban anyone posting QR codes in your discord servers to protect your users accounts
You guys see this QR code thing?
Tl:dr qr scanning inside of discord can give someone full access to your account, regardless of 2fa. Be careful out there.
This is very important, please read this for your own account safety. I don't know who thought this was a good idea yet here we are.
Discord recently introduced logging in via QR code, which is pretty handy when the desktop version randomly decides to log you out.
However, as you may have noticed, a small exploit exists, as reported by the user "johnisaunicorn":
NEVER and I mean NEVER scan a QR code for Discord-related gifts or prizes, including Nitro giveaways, through the Discord mobile app, EVER. You are NOT redeeming the "prize", you're giving someone FULL access to your account, regardless of 2FA. Until Discord adds a notice to their app, you'll have to be extremely cautious about this.
PSA to the folks who are moderators in other servers: If you see someone posting a QR code in your server and claiming it gives Nitro, DELETE IT.
Be sure to spread the word to everyone you know. This is a serious flaw with Discord's login system, and there's probably a lot of people losing accounts to this scam.
On top of that, if anyone's trying to convince you to scan a QR code for a giveaway or whatever, please report them through here: https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000029731
