+  - Use Discord to authenticate users with OAuth
+</TutorialHero>
 
-## Overview
+Enabling OAuth with [Discord](https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2) allows your users to sign up and sign in to your Clerk application with their Discord account.
 
-Adding social connection with Discord to your app with Clerk is done in a few steps - you only need to set the **Client ID**, **Client Secret** and **Authorized redirect URI** in your instance settings.
+## Configure for your development instance
 
-To make the development flow as smooth as possible, Clerk uses preconfigured shared OAuth credentials and redirect URIs for development instances - no other configuration is needed.
+For _development instances_, Clerk uses preconfigured shared OAuth credentials and redirect URIs—no other configuration is needed.
 
-For production instances, you will need to generate your own Client ID and Client secret using your Discord account.
+1. In the Clerk Dashboard, navigate to the [**SSO Connections**](https://dashboard.clerk.com/last-active?path=user-authentication/sso-connections) page.
+1. Select **Add connection** and select **For all users**.
+1. In the **Choose provider** dropdown, select **Discord**.
+1. Select **Add connection**.
 
-> [!NOTE]
-> The purpose of this guide is to help you create a Discord account and a Discord OAuth app - if you're looking for step-by-step instructions using Clerk to add social connection (OAuth) to your application, follow the [Social connection (OAuth) guide](/docs/authentication/social-connections/oauth).
+## Configure for your production instance
 
-## Before you start
+For _production instances_, you must provide custom credentials, which involves generating your own **Client ID** and **Client Secret** using your Discord account.
 
-- You need to create a Clerk Application in your [Clerk Dashboard](https://dashboard.clerk.com/). For more information, check out our [Set up your application guide](/docs/quickstarts/setup-clerk).
-- You need to have a Discord account. To create one, [click here](https://discord.com/register).
+To make the setup process easier, it's recommended to keep two browser tabs open: one for your [Clerk Dashboard](https://dashboard.clerk.com/last-active?path=user-authentication/sso-connections) and one for your [Discord Developers Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications).
 
-## Configuring Discord social connection
+<Steps>
+  ### Enable Discord as a social connection in Clerk
 
-First, you need to register a new OAuth Discord app at the [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications).
+  1. In the Clerk Dashboard, navigate to the [**SSO Connections**](https://dashboard.clerk.com/last-active?path=user-authentication/sso-connections) page.
+  1. Select **Add connection** and select **For all users**.
+  1. In the **Choose provider** dropdown, select **Discord**.
+  1. Ensure that both **Enable for sign-up and sign-in** and **Use custom credentials** are toggled on.
+  1. Save the **Authorized redirect URI** somewhere secure. Keep the modal and page open.

+  ### Create a Discord Developer app
 
-Set a name for your new application and click create. Now that your application has been created, from the left side panel click on **OAuth2**, this is where you also need to add your **Redirect URL.**
+  1. On a separate page, go to the [Discord Developers Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications) and sign in.
+  1. In the top-right, select **New Application**.
+  1. Complete the required fields and select **Create**. You'll be redirected to the **General Information** page.
+  1. In the sidebar, select **OAuth2**.
+  1. Under **Redirects**, select **Add Redirect**. Paste the **Authorized Redirect URI** you saved from the Clerk Dashboard.
+  1. Select **Save Changes**. You may need to tap anywhere on the screen for the button to show. Keep this page open.
 
-Navigate to the [Clerk Dashboard](https://dashboard.clerk.com/last-active?path=user-authentication/sso-connections). In the top navigation, select **Configure**. Then in the sidebar, select **SSO Connections**. Select the **Add connection** button, and select **For all users**. In the **Choose provider** dropdown, select **Discord**. Toggle on **Use custom credentials** and copy **Authorized redirect URI**. Paste the value into the **Redirect** input and save the changes.
+  ### Set the Client ID and Client Secret in your Clerk Dashboard
 
-Once all the above are complete, copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret.** Go back to the Clerk Dashboard and paste them into the respective fields.
+  1. In your Discord Developers Portal, copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret**. If you don't see the **Copy** button under the **Client Secret**, select **Reset Secret** to generate a new one.
+  1. Navigate back to your Clerk Dashboard where the modal should still be open and paste these values into the respective fields.
+  1. Select **Add connection**.

+  > [!NOTE]
+  > If the modal or page is not still open, navigate to the [**SSO Connections**](https://dashboard.clerk.com/last-active?path=user-authentication/sso-connections) page in the Clerk Dashboard. Select the **Discord** connection. Under **Use custom credentials**, you can paste the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** into their respective fields.
 
-Don't forget to click **Apply** in the Clerk dashboard. Congratulations! Social connection with Discord is now configured for your instance.
+  ### Test your OAuth
+
+  The simplest way to test your OAuth is to visit your Clerk app's [Account Portal](/docs/customization/account-portal/overview), which is available for all Clerk apps out-of-the-box.
+
+  1. In the Clerk Dashboard, navigate to the [**Account Portal**](https://dashboard.clerk.com/last-active?path=account-portal) page.
+  1. Next to the **Sign-in** URL, select **Visit**. The URL should resemble:
+
+  - **For development** – `https://your-domain.accounts.dev/sign-in`
+  - **For production** – `https://accounts.your-domain.com/sign-in`
+
+  1. Sign in with your Discord account.
