Any ideas how to fix this?

Workaround:

1. Extract token from discord's local storage in browser
2. invoke commands (replace xxxx with the token):

   acc discord off
   acc discord set token_cache xxxx
   acc discord on

Thanks for the log, I've been hunting the way discord sends this captcha message.
