I don't know of any way that you could easily. If you didn't have an email linked with it that you can access it was a matter of time before you lost it. Best tip is to keep your secondary email names somewhere that won't get lost even if your pc explodes. Easier to guess a password you use for all your throwaways in the past than it is to guess a username you used once. (Don't keep the passwords with the names ofc)

If it makes you feel any better you were doomed from the start. The next time the tokens expired on there server, they did a major client update, or in anyway changed the security system the keys would be rotated and you would have gotten a login prompt.

Keep your things updated people.

No, apparently you can just use discord with a simple username ~

Of course downside is that if you clear the browsing session goodbye to your discord account! Didn't realize this was even a thing before this thread o_O

Clearing cache won't cause that. Sounds like you accidentally deleted cookies.

Ummm, sure it will.

Deleting cookies, among other things, is what clearing the cache does in Chrome does.

IIRC, you can uncheck the option to delete cookies and delete only the cache. I know that Firefox, which is ->not<- Chromium, will have cookies checked in the clear-data options by default. You must uncheck the option to clear the cookies! Then you can choose to clear only the cache.

That's beyond irresponsible... get a safe password manager ASAP (Bitwarden, free and secure), enable 2FA on all your accounts (use Authy) and update all of your software
