No token in local storage

[LoliWizard]

Discord changed the way they handle tokens is there any other method to get your discord token?

I can second this. Tried to export a chat today after a clean install and noticed the token key was either removed or moved.

I'm having the same issue. After updating to a new version I noticed that the token was gone in the Discord developer console.

It looks like it's indeed gone. Gonna mark it as a bug because the steps to obtain user token are no longer valid.

Also, note that old user tokens still work so if you still have your token saved somewhere -- make sure you don't lose it until workaround is found.

Unfortunately I don't have my old token anymore. Even if I had, I have updated my password to see if the token returned, but it didn't.
Thank you for looking into it.

As a more technical work-around you can do the following:

1. Open developers console
2. Click Network tab
3. Go to any channel in any guild
4. There should be a new request made messages?limit=50 or something similar, you may have to scroll to find it
5. Click it
6. On the right, make sure the Headers tab is open
7. Scroll down to Request headers
8. Find the authorization header and copy the value

Thank you, that works for me.

WOW! THANK YOU! Worked like a charm, Tyrrrz!

I can't find the authorization header. Can anyone else find it?

The workaround works for me.
Make sure to save your token.

So.... I still can't find this authorization header.... In fact, I have no idea what you mean by "Go to any channel in any guild" And I don't even have a "Headers" Tab... Help please?

Update Ok so I found the "Headers" Tab.... but still have no idea where the Authorization value is... I have some that says "Provisional Headers are shown" that appears at the very to of the "Request Headers" tab... Is this anything I should be concerned about?

If the 'messages?limit=50' doesn't show up, either press F5 to reload the page, or swap to another channel.

Note for blind people (I'm one of them): You don't have to use messages?limit=50. Any request to discord that would require you to be logged in should work. Most stuff towards the bottom without a file extension (science, applications, library are the additional ones I saw) will work.

Also, random observation: In science, a section called "Request Payload" has a property token which, at least for me, is slightly shorter than and ends differently from the authorization entry above. I'm too lazy to test if this one works, but I'm guessing it does...
