Attention: This post is for educational purposes only. I highly advise you to respect Discord’s guidelines. Never share your token with anyone for any reason whatsoever. Do not run bots under a user account, bot accounts exist for a reason.

How it works

For quite a while Discord has added two measures to stop people from easily getting their Discord token, those are:

  1. Removing it from local storage as soon as the page is loaded
  2. Removing the localStorage window property

We use two tricks to circumvent these measures:

  1. Reloading the page, so that the token is still there
  2. Adding an iframe and using its localStorage (thanks Stackoverflow)

Code

location.reload();
var i = document.createElement('iframe');
document.body.appendChild(i);
alert(i.contentWindow.localStorage.token);

Edit: A commenter suggested adding stop(); before the alert( line to fix issues in Firefox.

Bookmarklet

Drag this into your bookmark bar: Obtain Discord Token or this, for the fixed version for Firefox: Obtain Discord Token

In case you are using Chrome mobile, you can create a new bookmark for a page of your choice, open the bookmark list, tap on “edit” on the bookmark you just created and then insert javascript:(function()%7Blocation.reload()%3Bvar%20i%20%3D%20document.createElement('iframe')%3Bdocument.body.appendChild(i)%3Balert(i.contentWindow.localStorage.token)%7D)() as URL and insert a name you want.

In Edge you can right click the link and add it to your reading list.

what is a bookmark bar?

I’m kind of stupid, so I don’t understand how to do it (no video)

    Chances are, if you don’t understand it, you shouldn’t try it either.

The above code won’t work in Firefox.
Use this instead (just copy it in the bookmark as link):

javascript:(function(){location.reload();var i = document.createElement('iframe');document.body.appendChild(i);stop();alert(i.contentWindow.localStorage.token);})()

    Thank you for your tip, I have never tested this in Firefox so I sadly didn’t notice that it doesn’t work. I have edited my post to include your advice.
