Discord (Like almost every web app) uses HTTPS protocol. So important data like passwords etc must be encrypted before sending (like you wrote in 2.). You can read more about SSL: https://www.google.com/search?q=how+ssl+works&oq=how+SSL+work&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.2239j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8.

If you want to see it on example, you can do it easily using Wireshark. Wireshark is app which shows you EVERYTHING what your device are sending and reciving. You can download it here from here (For Mac and Windows): https://www.wireshark.org/download.html

Command for download it for linux:

sudo apt-get install wireshark
