Answer 1

If you are unable to access your 2FA codes for Discord due to a broken phone screen, you may have a few options to recover your account:

1. Use Backup Codes: If you have previously saved backup codes provided by Discord when you set up 2FA, you can use one of those codes to access your account.
2. Account Recovery: If you have lost access to all your authentication methods, you may need to go through an account recovery process. This typically involves verifying your identity through other means, which may include providing information about your account or answering security questions.
3. Contact Discord Support: Since you mentioned that Discord's support has been unhelpful, it may still be worth reaching out again. Explain your situation clearly and provide any necessary information they might require to assist you.
4. Replace Your Device: If possible, consider getting your phone repaired or using a different device to access the authenticator app if you had it installed on another device.

Unfortunately, there are no direct methods mentioned in the context to recover 2FA codes specifically for Discord using Microsoft Authenticator or similar apps, but these general recovery steps may help you regain access to your account.
