I am experimenting with my own Discord client (yes, I know, they are against TOS) and I want to try out automatic account detection. Where does discord keep your tokens or auth keys?

Depends. You could

  1. launch the default client,
  2. obtain the process id,
  3. use strace (Linux) or lsof (Linux/Mac) to check which files are accessed.

You may want to combine these steps in a shell script in order to avoid a large delay between launch and attaching strace/lsof, otherwise early access to some files might go undetected.

    Thank you. For people that stumble across this post, I used this youtube video (youtu.be/EG0ihttnEJI) to learn how to use strace. I will update this comment with more info as soon as I go through the strace output file. (for windows, everything is in %appdata%)

    So...Discord's stuff on Linux is stored in ~/.config/discord. The auth tokens are in ~/.config/discord/Local\ Storage/leveldb`. To actually find the auth token you'll have to use this piece of python code. pastebin.com/LdhTqHm0
