https://github.com/Jessecar96/SteamDesktopAuthenticator
its also not recommended cause it defeats the purpose of 2fa

You don't have to use mobile authentication. You can use email authentication instead.

Its just that, theres an item i'd like to sell, and it seems it only need mobile authenticator

You need Mobile Authenticator you can try downloading Bluestack and download Steam Mobile Authenticator from there. Or you need to get a phone that is supported.:balloonicorn:

email auth doesnt exist anymore, mobile only


also dont bother with the damn bluestacks just use the github thing less of a hassle

Github sucks in my opinion so does Bluestack and also JUST A SUGGESTION. I prefer phone.

Which is incredibly unsafe, and completely defeats the purpose of having this level of security.

Why did you bump a 4 year old thread to state dangerous information like this?
