Discord has recently introduced end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for voice and video calls, significantly enhancing the security and privacy of communications on its platform. This new feature, known as the DAVE protocol, ensures that only the participants in a call can access the contents of ongoing audio and video conversations, keeping them secure from outsiders, including Discord itself. The encryption applies to audio and video calls in direct messages (DMs), group DMs, voice channels, and Go Live streams , .

In addition to this, Discord has also rolled out support for passkey login, a passwordless authentication method that enhances account security. Passkeys are encrypted digital keys created using biometric features like fingerprints or facial recognition, offering a more secure and user-friendly alternative to traditional passwords. This feature is part of Discord's broader effort to modernize multi-factor authentication (MFA) and provide a seamless, secure login experience for its users , .

These updates reflect Discord's commitment to improving user privacy and security, making it a more secure platform for communication and collaboration.
