    Steam is warning users to enable Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator and keep an eye on account activity.

    Fuck off and let me use my own TOTP app already.

      Steam is one of the few apps that I’m fully okay with having on my phone and using for 2fa. I especially like that when I go to login it’s like Discord where I can scan a QR code to confirm from the App instead of having to type in a number that expires. Like it would be nice to have the other functionality as well but I’m content with their current system

        I don’t mind that they have 2FA features in their app. I mind that using SMS for this has been known to be bad practice for years and they’ve tried to leverage that insecurity to push users to the Steam app. It’s reckless and this current data breach is only possible because of it.
