Is it safe to log in steam in Game Cafe

[larlsburger]

I know it is not safe but friends want it so bad. Is it safe to log in with QR code and steam guard? Not typing the password?

uhhm no .. use the internet cafe´s accounts instead !

If you cannot do that, then make sure that the steam client dont safe local credentials and make sure that the machine has not been used for cheating while you are logged into it !

Remember to ask the steam support, so they are aware that you are going to login to another machine that is not yours !

Change your password before you login to it, so you can change back to your original password again... you know, just in case that there is a keylogger on the machine !

and make sure 2fa is activated with mobile sms protection aswell !

Yes, as long you have 2FA enabled + make sure you log your account out.

Since you already know the answer it only means you want peace of mind and not take responsibility alone when anything goes wrong. Keep in mind if the cyber has a cheating software installed you will get banned.

If you want to play anywhere else, create a new throwaway steam account and play with it instead of using your main (even if you have to buy a new prime status, it's better than to lose or get a ban on your account).

Never open your steam account anywhere else except on your own devices.

They can open their accounts on a public devices as long they know what they're doing.

That the problem, everyone knows what they are doing until bad things start to happen. And then they come here crying steam "has bad security mesures", "Steam's 2FA is sh*t" and the usual BS we hear everyday.

What do you mean they will get banned? I played on the internet cafe whenever I feel like it, I didn't get any bans, also most of internet cafes have deepfreeze, why would they get banned? lol.

If they're clueless well they will get hacked if they know what they're doing, I don't think so.

I said "if the cyber cafe has a cheating software". Also, to be honest I donno you and what you do, so for all that counts you could literally be lying about going to internet cafe.

Anyway I gave the safest approach to this, anything else that will happen from this I really don't care since it's not my account anyway.
