Summary

Discord is a popular platform used by various communities to form connections around shared interests. Using Discord as an SSO (Single Sign-On) identity provider can simplify the login process for users, allowing them to log in with their existing Discord credentials instead of creating multiple accounts. FusionAuth is a complete authentication and identity management platform that enables developers to quickly implement complex standards like OAuth, OpenID Connect, and SAML while building out additional login features. To set up an integration between Discord and FusionAuth, one needs to register a new application in the Discord Developer Portal, create a FusionAuth instance, configure the Discord Identity Provider, and enable it for the desired application. The final step involves creating an API key for the sample application to complete the setup. This tutorial demonstrates how to integrate Discord with FusionAuth using OAuth 2.0, allowing users to log in to various applications using their existing Discord credentials.
