Steam says I am online. I'm not.

I got a message this morning asking why I was up so late on Steam. I wasn't. I figured it must be the Steam app on my phone so I shut my phone down to check. I was still online. What gives?

Bug with the app that has been there for ages.

I had read about that, but left my phone off for over an hour, yet I was still online. It kind of makes you paranoid.

The bug can persist for 14+ hours.

And no need for paranoia, if you done stuff to cause any unwanted somebody to be on your account I suggest you resecure your account, but if not it will be fixed soon like Hotsauce said.

I never said it will be fixed soon. The bug has been there since day 1 of the mobile app.

Dayum. I have used the mobile app for a few years now as an authenticator and am only just noticing this. Is it just random or have I persistently been online and not been aware of it?
