Account switching

[76561199268323186]

My household has three steam accounts. Two for me and one for my son. I switch between my two accounts and it used to be easy, just log out and all I had to do was type in new name and password for that account. But as of a month or so ago, that changed and I now have to go into my email and enter a code from an email to play. Steam doesnt want to remember the account with my computer. BTW I usually just use the same computer for both accounts. Anyway, i was just wondering what had changed?

I also get this log-in delayed reaction to when the right side
has a New button with a barcode on it that wasn't there. It's
taking a bit to load the barcode when I sign-in, but I too use
my E-Mail to sign in when the security asks for it.

The new barcode might be what you are talking about is new,
& there is also the new requirement for every single time we
have to sign-in with E-Mail now.

Whatever changed, just cause we don't like it, I don't think
it's going to change, because nothing else we have requested
to be fixed, has been fixed.

I do not know what to tell you. I found that runing steam
offline has saved me with a load of error problems, but
that may not be a solution for you.

Maybe another person has a better answer to help you.

You have email verification on under Account details - Account security.

With its new update, steam has gathered accounts under a Single Menu, now it's easier to open an account.

with one of the updates, steam gives an option should you have two or more accounts what you using to access on the same system, it will show all the accounts what is access on that particular system. I myself have two accounts and it shows. first couple times i had to put in password/scan that barcode thingy with phone to login.

I too have this...it shows my son's account, but not my OTHER account. I have no idea why after a dozen logins of the other account it wont save it.

I've just checked. You don't have to provide anything when changing accounts, just click on the target account's avatar, Steam does the rest.

If you have to log in, that's because you're logging out. Stop logging out if you, well, don't want to log out.
