Where is Steam's login token stored?

[JJRcop]

I have "Remember my password" checked, and I'm wondering where steam stores my login token on my computer.

I'd like to be able to encrypt this file when I log off and unencrypt it on login.

Thanks!

No, of course not! I want to secure my own password token when I am not logged in, so other people can't steal it.

Steam > sign out
When you sign in again uncheck "remember me"

And there have been several other threads this same question was asked and nobody was able to find it, at least that I have found. Either way I stand on my suggestion in the above thread that messing around with that stuff might be a TOS violation. *might* be. Yes, if we want to secure our stuff more than the publisher or developer does on our computer we should be able to. I agree with that completely.

The Steam Client is basically a browser. If that info is stored anywhere local in a file it's most likely in a cookie file. I lean on the suggestion not to mess with it. Leave it alone. There's a boatload of security on our steam accounts the way it is and protecting that info is super simple: don't share it with anyone. There's no need to do all of that extra stuff to it.

Well Steam is basically just a web browser anyway (based off Chromium). So this functionality behaves just like any other web based login. So I guess the question is do you worry about micromanaging all your cookies and sessions yourself, or does the browser do a sufficient job on it's own?
