i recently got hacked but i deauthorized other devices; a while after im just chillin and opened the settings menu and the shield is red but says im protected by the steam guard mobile authenticator...should i be worried?

by the time i just wrote this i deauth'd again and now it's green but is this just a bug?

actually i decided to look this up and got something similar a long while ago - cleared my API key (i got hacked through a phising website) and it's green now, this discussion should have wht ppl like me are looking for

I went to change my steam folder directory from one disk to other (make D default instead of C) and I noticed that in settings where is account security status the shield colour was red and when I was writing this info here it changed back to green - is this some kind of bug / another steam problem during steam game sale where steam servers crash ?

if anyone is still subscribed or is interested in this thread then i actually just found out something else

if you play games like tf2 like me, the shield might appear red if you tab out of the game screen - but when i closed the game, it was green again

i guess it's red sometimes during situations like this, idk...i got scared again so i deauth'd other devices, checked my api keys - none, and tested this hypothesis


actually after checking the settings tab again it turned green even while it was running...but when i tabbed back in and out it became red so i guess it's red while you're in a game and a bit after you tab out?...
